This amazing Seeburg LPC-1 Jukebox dates back to the early 1960's & at that time was the first Low Profile Console on the market. Seeburg referred to it as Long Play Console since it played 7" records in 45 & 33 1/3 RPM speeds.
In 1960 Seeburg had convinced the major record labels to produce the 7" discs with 6 songs on them microgrooved. The 33 1/3 RPM would have 3 songs per side, allowing the unit to offer as many as 480 tunes of living stereo.
Seeburg wanted to present middle of the road artists such as Frank Sinatra & Tony Bennett, so Jukeboxes would be more accepted in fancy restaurants & well known lounges.
An area above the title strip listings is provided to display 5 of the artist's picture sleeves. With it's 40" wide cabinet, the stereo seperation is just amazing. When stereo first came along, the artist's record labels that employed it made good use of this seperation.
With a solid state transistor amplifier & 25 watts rms stereo, the music that would come out of this Seeburg was just incredible. This was 1960's jukebox sound & we all loved it. The Seeburg LPC-1 was a great success!
Today this is a very collectible piece of furniture & very few remain in actual working order. They are sought after by many collectors & some have sold for over $10,000.
Those who grew up in the 1960's & used these Jukeboxes will remember them well, especially those 33 1/3 RPM records that gave us more music.
