These are very rare spanish assembled Jukeboxes
a cross between an NSM Serenade and a Rennotte.
During Franco's rule of Spain, imports into the country were almost banned.
So the Spanish had to make their own products or assemble them under license
from big manufactures abroad e.g. Seat, Landrover, Santana etc.
These Jukeboxes come from this era approx 1964. A cabinet borrowed from the
now very collectable NSM Serenade and a mechanism from the Belgium company
Rennotte from an earlier 1956-57 model CM30. See photos below of Rennotte
mechanism and NSM Serenade.
The mechanism is very unusual
as it stacks the records on plates and they are lifted to play them. The
mechs are visual display.
The cabs are quite a period formica finish in green and light blue, the
glass has a title trays at the top and a place to put two 7" single sleves
if you didn't want to look at the mechanism at the bottom. The units have 30
selections, 7" singles.
