I went to the Super Auctions coin-operated equipment auction in Milwaukee over the weekend, and I am happy to report that I didn’t come away empty handed. I bought a CD jukebox for my dad to give as a gift.

I’ve been to the auction several times now, and my family or guests that came with us have purchased some pretty big items –five jukeboxes, three dart boards, one arcade game, and three pinball machines total, that I can remember.

When I was in high school, I started collecting records. I’m a big fan of the Who, The Beatles, Eric Clapton and all sorts of other bands that just sound better coming through vinyl and a needle. I figured the coolest thing would be to have a jukebox to round out my already sweet musical collection.
