The Wurlitzer jukebox is a very popular company that was one of the pioneers in the manufacturing of the jukebox. It’s actually named the Rudolph Wurlitzer Company but is called Wurlitzer. They produced jukeboxes in the big band era that are famous till date. It was so popular that people started calling any jukebox, a Wurlitzer. The marketing of the jukebox was excellently done when it was first released and thus it became a very popular brand. Paul Fuller was the engineer who designed many iconic Wurlitzer jukeboxes. He got immensely famous for his innovations.
The Wurlitzer’s could not remain that popular though and made way for the Seeburgs in 1950’s. They stopped producing jukebox soon after. The old jukebox’s are still sold and renovated as vintage and are in high demand. There are also mini replica’s of the Wurlitzer’s produced by smaller companies which are available online. Still nothing compare to the charismatic effect that a Wurlitzer jukebox had way back in the 40’s.
