Don't remember off the top of my head if that's a Wurlitzer, but the jukebox is one of the most fascinating objects in a room stuffed with fascinating objects. ( Lots of craftsmen's tools from ages long since passed - the place reminds me of the barn on my grandfather's farm, where he used to collect all kinds of tools. Except for the beer. And the crowd. ) There are two glass tubes, one on each side of the front, that are filled with water and where air bubbles rise thrugh the water for decorative effect. These pipes are curved the same way the front panel, as an arc across the top of the front panel (the exact top of the pipe is covered, so there presumably are some valves inside that remove the air from the pipe at that point). The funny part is the way these rising air bubbles behave inside the pipe. Some times bubbles 'overtake' bubbles higher up in the pipe, which presumably is governed by relative sizes of bubbles and the amount of water between them. At the top arch it seems the bubbles accelerate significantly. I never really understood if they do that for real, or if it is an optical effect caused by the bubbles moving sideways as well as upwards. Let's just say that commenting on those bubbles was a certain ice-breaker, if one ran out of conversation topics. As long as one was in the company of fellow engineers, that is. Rune
