Beginning Mock UpJust starting the mock up of the Jukebox. I am using several layers, three to be exact, of particle board to created the laminated uprights (sides). I have routed two "T-slots" in the center board of the uprights, this slot will hold a 7/16" bolting system to fasten the uprights to the base.

Mock up base descriptonThe base of the Jukebox is actually concrete sandwiched between two 3/4" particle board components. I chose to do this to give the Jukebox extra weight and stability. This was needed because of the unique curvature of the upgrights throws off the center of gravity - not anymore.

Mock up with amp and display mounts - front viewThe "pipe" that holds the amplifier mount (lower board) will be used to pass electrical wires through to the amplifier and computer. It also servers as a structural component by passing some lateral forces of the sides to the base of the unit.

Mock up of electronicsI am currently fitting all of the electronics into the kiosk style JukeBox. All of the wires run in between the laminated uprights until they reach the computer or amp mounts. I routed 3/4" channels into the middle layer of the laminated uprights to accomodate the wires.

Layout the control panelIn this picture I have taped paper and masking tape to the control panel so I can measure and layout the precise locations for the buttons on the main control panel

Backside of control panelThis is the back side of the control panel after I wired it up. I am using a KeyWiz-ST control interface from GroovyGameGear.com to interface the buttons with the computer.

Full front viewHere is a full front view of the completed Jukebox. The control panel, amp mount, and sides are laminated with a "Formica" surface. The entire Jukebox is powered by a standard computer power supply although a slightly larger one modified with LED's.
