Full of useful information, my favorite kind of ad. I swear people think they get charged per word.

Quite Verbose, plus you get the finger

Toast your 8-tracks.

So the question is, when does the fireplace burn the whole thing?

This is about the fourth one I've seen come up recently. Are the old 70s swingers starting to die off?

LOL

There are a few different kinds of those. The best ones were made in communist (at the time) East Germany. Which tells you something right there.

Most were marketed under the brand of Morse Electrophonic.

Did not sound half bad-think mid 70's jukebox sound. Quality of design and construction was poor. Technicians avoided them if at all possible. Used low end BSR changers, often with ceramic carts.

How do I know all this?-I had one.

I think they all should have been sold with a Frank Zappa 8 track featuring "Dancin' Fool"

Yowza yowza yowza

Not to be picky but those Morse (or any fireplace type set) jobs couldn't hold a candle to most of the Seeburg or Wurlitzer jukes of the seventies. Some of the early seventies Seeburg's were some of the best sounding jukeboxes ever made. Pickering magnetic cartridges, big amps, and usually 10 or 12" sealed woofers and horns made them sound really good. Even the last Seeburg 45 juke design, that came out in 1978, sounded outstanding. Rockola and AMI did make some console jobs in the mid late seventies that sounded pretty crappy with smaller speakers though.
