For those still reading this and not lost interest.
Jukebox wall boxes were often positioned at the end of the booth tables in American diners, you often see them in "film noir" movies. Several would be connected to a full size jukebox in another part of the diner. In smaller establishments, they would be connected to a "hideaway." A large wooden box containing the record carousel, the amplifier etc., and the turntable. This would be positioned in a back room or cellar. With just speakers in the diner. This would release more space in the diner for a table where a jukebox would have been positioned.
For those who've never seen one working. The fact considering this is fifty years old with its collection of leaf switches, solenoids and motors is still running perfectly, is testimony to the build quality.
The only thing I've had to do is replace the turntable motor grommets and service the carousel motor as it was running a bit slow. It was a pain to get at to remove and replace it.
