A Beautiful American Classic from 1948 – An Excellent Restoration Project!

This original Wurlitzer 1100 jukebox from 1948 is a wonderful example of classic American jukebox design from the 1940s. With its distinctive rounded cabinet, beautiful wood veneer, impressive chrome ornaments, and colorful decorative lighting, the Wurlitzer 1100 is one of the most recognizable jukebox models from the golden age of American jukeboxes.

The Wurlitzer 1100 was designed to play original 78 RPM shellac records and offers a capacity of 24 records and 24 selections.

This particular jukebox was imported directly from the United States and remains in its original, unrestored condition. A fantastic opportunity for collectors, restoration enthusiasts, or anyone looking for an authentic American vintage jukebox project.

Original Condition – Full Restoration Required

This Wurlitzer 1100 was imported from the USA and has not been restored or serviced by us.

The jukebox appears to be largely complete, with the original record mechanism, amplifier, and various other components still present, as far as we can determine from a visual inspection.

As expected from a machine that is more than 75 years old, it shows signs of age, wear, and previous use.

The wooden cabinet still retains its characteristic vintage appearance, while the original decorative details make this machine an interesting restoration project.

Important information:

Original, used, and unrestored condition.

A complete mechanical, electrical, and cosmetic restoration is required.

Operating condition is unknown; the jukebox has not been tested.

The machine is still configured for the original American 110/115V electrical supply, unless otherwise stated.

The jukebox appears largely complete, but we cannot guarantee that every original component is present or functional.

Any missing or defective parts are the responsibility of the buyer.

Sold strictly AS IS, in its current condition, exactly as shown in the photographs.

Please note: This is a restoration project, NOT a working or ready-to-use jukebox.

A Classic Model from Wurlitzer's Golden Era

Introduced in 1948, the Wurlitzer 1100 represents a fascinating period in American jukebox history, combining the elaborate styling of the 1940s with design elements that would influence jukeboxes throughout the 1950s.

The model features a large transparent dome, beautifully shaped wooden cabinet, polished metal decorations, and impressive vertical decorative columns.

Behind the transparent dome sits the original record-changing mechanism, designed to accommodate 24 shellac records.

Its combination of distinctive styling and traditional American jukebox engineering makes the Wurlitzer 1100 a desirable collector's item.

Once fully restored, this machine can become a stunning centerpiece in a living room, home bar, man cave, restaurant, or private vintage jukebox collection.
