How does a vintage jukebox work?

A vintage jukebox works by combining mechanical and electrical components to play music. When a person inserts a coin or token into the machine, it activates a selection process. This selection can either be made by directly pushing buttons or by flipping through a catalog and selecting a record. The chosen record is then mechanically moved from its storage slot to a turntable. The tonearm, equipped with a stylus, is positioned onto the record and it begins to spin. As the record rotates, the stylus reads the grooves, converting the physical grooves into electrical signals. These signals are then amplified, and music is played through built-in speakers. The jukebox allows users to enjoy a wide range of musical selections from the records it stores, providing a nostalgic and immersive listening experience.
