Waiting for Our Motorhome to be Fixed.

We have to wait around today for our motorhome so first stop in the Jukebox Museum in McAllen, Tx. This is a very old repair shop in an old area of McAllen. They had Jukeboxes that played 78’s, 45’s and CD’s. I was impressed with the dusty collection.

I enjoy these dusty collections that you can touch.

We went inside the museum/repair shop to look around. The museum pieces are up on the second level with typewriter written descriptions from the late 80’s early 90’s

Here is the 1940’s design Wurlitzer model 800

This is part of the collection.

We spent 1/2 an hour but quite enjoyed this quirky place. The lady on duty said the museum is moving to a better location and they do not have a repair person so this is no longer an active business.

I am sure the place will lose all the quirky charm but the machines will look better in a new location.
