I exaggerate only slightly in my title here -- I would guess that the real number of years I've wanted this is more like 47 or so BUT IF I COULD'VE ASKED EARLIER, I would have! This is the coolest thing EVER. That is what I think. It makes my brain go all sparky and drooly, and fills my face with grins. I would play with it all day every day if I owned it, which is one of the reasons that I think I have never received this as a gift -- you'd never get me away from it. I've also never received it as a gift because it's difficult to find and very heavy and painfully expensive, like if I asked for an Indian Elephant or something, and also like an elephant you have to maintain it and feed it stuff.
I have come to truly accept that the chances I will ever be surprised on Christmas Morn with this item are about zilch. It's one of those things you where you really must have scads of disposable income, a financial condition I am not burdened with. But will I ever remove it from my Wish List? NO! You never know, maybe someday I will look outside my window on December 25th and see an Indian Elephant with this strapped to its mighty back with several fine-looking strong men to lift it from the beast and install it into my home. I can see it in my mind right now. Yes. Ahhh.
WHAT IS IT, YOU ASK?
The 1962 AMI Continental 2 Jukebox!
Sigh. Love.
