A retro-style jukebox bearing the classic stylings of Jack Daniel’s bourbon has gone on sale in the USA, bound for homes seeking a little old-fashioned magic.

The distinctive jukebox is made by Rock-Ola manufacturing, and was previously only available through speciality sales outlets.

With a design based on the classic Wurlitzer Jukebox style, it features bubble tubes down the sides and door frontage, contrasting with the rotating Jack Daniel's pilaster and the dark, rich wood veneers. The famous Jack Daniel's label is stencilled all over the jukebox and the Tennessee distillery's "Old No. 7" trademark etched into the music machine’s front-panel glass.

When it comes to music power, the jukebox doesn’t skimp either, with a new 1600W Peavey solid-state amplifier, five speakers and the capacity to add another external speaker set, providing single-zone stereophonic or dual-zone monaural sound. The jukebox also comes with a remote control.

The Jack Daniels model is the latest in a line of “nostalgic” jukeboxes designed by Rock-Ola to cash in on a demand among American households for the sights and sounds of a classic age of US icons – the last special model features the stylings and log of famed motorcycle manufacturer Harley-Davidson.

Such models all follow the instantly recognisable style pioneered by Wurlitzer in the late 1930s, when the company took on the services of designer Paul Fuller. Fuller came up with the notion of using bubble tubes and moving coloured lights and art deco fittings to create a truly beautiful machine which remains firmly in the public imagination and has yet to be bettered.
