The AMI Continental II comes with Free Delivery and Installation (worth £200) and is in fantastic fully working order. It is a perfect choice for any fan of vintage jukeboxes.
The AMI Continental II jukebox is a true collector's piece, beautifully manufactured by AMI in limited numbers.The XJDB-200 Continental II includes stereo sound with space for 100 records and the ability to make up to 200 automatic selections.
It has electronic, automatic selection, enabling you to queue all 200 songs instead of having to choose a new song every time if you wish to. The astonishing stereo sound ensures records play as clearly and crisply as they did 50 years ago, and gives a further reason to choose this over a mono jukebox.
If you have a vinyl collection of 7 inch singles tucked away somewhere safe, the Continental II is a perfect reason to dust those wonderful old records off and get them loaded up into a beautiful classic jukebox.
The Continental range was designed to set a new standard of style, hence the unusual profile and look. The silhouette is unmistakably distinctive and the machine's lines are clean and graceful. Soft, indirect illumination highlights the rich trim and glorious colours of the cabinet.
A Brief History of AMI:
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, with the piano manufacturing business operating under the name of 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, which was 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, with 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.
This AMI Continental II is in amazing condition, especially considering its age. There is minimal evidence of wear, and the whole machine has even been completely re-chromed to give a simply gorgeous jukebox, and we highly recommend popping into our showroom to view this beautiful machine.
There's no substitute for admiring its classic design in person and experiencing the thrill of this nostalgia-inducing jukebox.

Condition
Our AMI Continental 2 is in beautiful, restored condition, and plays perfectly. Every chrome component on this Continental II has been rechromed, meaning there is no 'pitting' that is commonly seen on jukeboxes. The glass dome also has some small amount of scratching. The jukebox may have a few small bumps and dents in places, which is natural for a machine of this age to have.

Please check that this jukebox will fit through your doorway and around any turns towards its ultimate destination. It fits through most normal doorways, but sometimes the doors will need to be removed to achieve this. Please ensure you are able to do this prior to us arriving to install your 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 Continental II 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.
