Cool MLT Jukebox!
I remember years ago when I was 14, I could only afford a little pocket AM radio in my room. Remember listening to all these cool tunes at night coming in one after the other and I just couldn’t turn it off, although it was way past bedtime and my dad kept telling me to turn off the radio. Well the MLT Jukebox reminded of that, all those wonderful MLT tunes, surprise one after the other. Hotel California, If I Fell…just about to turn it off and Sweet Lorraine comes on, then the Hendricks like guitar riff of Club 27….You Really Got Me…it so hard to turn off sometimes.
The MLT Jukebox is so awesome!

I agree! I remember my brother and me listening to an AM radio when we were kids. Wow! How technology has changed and now we can communicate with and listen to a fantastic band!

Jerry, do you remember these? Found this in an antique store brand new unopened mint condition a few years ago and works fine. Someone bought this several decades ago and just left it unused in it’s box. Only challenge is finding one of those old 9 volt batteries and and AM broadcast radio station these days that are disappearing. This is exactly like the little pocket radio I had when I was 14.

I had something similar, but it was black, and honestly I don’t think my memory is that good. It was my brother’s and he is 3 years older, so I had very little experience actually using it. He did really like sharing the Beatle tunes with me. Lots of great memories with my brother coming up saying, “Here’s the new Beatle song I was telling you about.” When I began teaching myself how to play drums, he was my biggest fan .

Jerry. Older brothers can be awesome, can’t they! I too have an older brother (2 of them) and older and younger sisters too, so I benefited from all their music when they were teenagers. All the 60’s stuff I heard growing up as a kid because of them, and some records I acquired too!
It’s nice to be able to hear the MLT Jukebox through a smart phone, like the old pocket radio again!

My portable DVD/CD player and my TV is an ancient old school relic… The last of its kind from 15-20 years ago. ( It was Dad’s in his room at nursing home… I use digital rabbit ears to get a few channels) . I’m not into cable TV… Lol… So you can say I’m of both old school and new when it comes to tech stuff…. ????????????????????????

Jacki, all the stuff you list there sound familiar to me, as I had one of those at some time in my life, except for the 8 track. That was slightly before my time and I never got into it, although I remember 8 tracks being sold in record stores along with Cassettes for a while. My Dad had a nice front loading hifi cassette deck with the analog VU meters I use to record a lot of LPs onto Cassettes with which I thought at the time was the future of audio music storage!
I hope the vinyl LPs do make a return, and remain, because putting on a record, aligning the stylus arm over the edge of the record, and gently lowering the stylus onto the record, hearing the static as the needle fall into the groove etc all some how feel a little ceremonial and right to listen to a great classic album like Orange, or Rubber Soul.
