The AMI J comes with Free Delivery and Installation (worth £200), it is in beautiful original condition and is a great choice for the first time vintage jukebox buyer.
The AMI J jukebox plays 7" records at 45 RPM, so if you have a vinyl collection tucked away somewhere safe, it's a perfect reason to dust those wonderful old records off and get them loaded up into a beautiful classic jukebox.
A Brief History:
AMI started out in 1909, manufacturing coin-operated self-playing pianos under the name of the National Automatic Music Company. In 1925, the company became two divisions, designating the piano manufacturing to National Piano Manufacturing Co. and the distribution being dealt with by Automatic Musical Instrument Co. (AMI). They manufactured their first jukebox in 1927 with the same, but gradually evolving, mechanism being utilised for the next 30 years.
AMI continued to make jukeboxes throughout the next few decades, constantly coming up with new designs including their wallbox jukeboxes in 1932, which were popular in bars and diners at the time, along with such original designs as the iconic Top Flight from 1936, the distinct Singing Towers from 1939, influenced by New York skyscrapers and the famous Model A, better known as the Mother of Plastic from 1946.
During the 1950s AMI manufactured jukeboxes for the international market under alternative names, BAL-AMI being the British name.
In 1962 AMI was bought out by Rowe AC Services, but remained one of the only jukebox manufacturers to keep providing jukeboxes throughout the 60s,70s and 80s.
Our AMI J is in such fantastic original condition that we didn't deem it neccessary to be restored. These jukeboxes were made for commercial use and built to last forever, which is why our AMI J model is still in full working condition. Being almost 60 years old, she does show her age, but that is part of the pleasure of buying vintage.
This is a great starter jukebox for a first time buyer and we highly recommend popping into our showroom to view this beautiful machine to admire it's classic design and experience the thrill of this nostalgia inducing jukebox.

Coin Mechanism:
We sell our restored, reconditioned and used products to home users, as a result a functioning coin mechanism is not necessary, because the machine can just be set to freeplay. Many of the coin mechanisms are configured to take foreign coins or denominations which are no longer in circulation, therefore it can be difficult to actually find a coin to use in it.
Therefore we sell all these types of products as freeplay only, with the coin mechanism either not working or disconnected. You may find that it does in fact work fine, or will do so with a little WD40 and kind attention, as many won't have been used for years.
Warranty:
The AMI J comes with 30 days warranty, to cover parts and labour. Our specialist repairer will call to your home to inspect and repair your machine. If parts are required which are not carried at the time these will need to be ordered for you, and will sometimes need to be imported from the USA, therefore there can be a fairly long wait for the part to arrive.
After our 30 days warranty has expired we can put you in touch with experienced technicians in your area who will be able to carry out any repairs you need.
We have years of experience in owning and selling jukeboxes. If you look after your jukebox and treat it well it will give you years of trouble free enjoyment.
Commercial Use:
Where a used/secondhand/reconditioned item is not being used in a home, but is instead being placed in a commercial location such as a bar, pub, cafe, restaurant, bowling alley, trampoline park, youth club, office, factory, or similar, we will offer a 30 day on-site service warranty should any problems occur which are not a result of any misuse or malicious damage. This warranty will cover parts and labour.
