Jukebox
Introduced in various other forms in the 1890's, evolving to some of these rainbow color light Jukeboxes that became the automatic musical players of the day in the late 1920's.
The first jukebox was an automatic phonograph produced in 1927 by Rowe International, then known as AMI.
These music instruments were extremely well built and have survived to this day in the hands of collectors and museums.
The shellac 78 rpm record dominated jukeboxes until the Seeburg Corporation introduced an all 45 rpm vinyl record jukebox in 1950.
fun fact
The term "juke box" came into use in the United States in the 1930s, apparently derived from the African-American slang term "juke" or "jook", meaning "dance".
