Gorgeous machine.
I collected and restored jukeboxes pretty intensely in the 1980s. I always felt the pre-plastics machines of the 30s were underappreciated. The veneer work on many of the early boxes was gorgeous, as yours shows. Not that the boxes of the plastic era from the late 30s through the late 40s weren't wonderful in their own right!
I only have one left today, a Wurlitzer 750. I really miss some of the ones that got away....
