*RARE* Antique 1940's Vintage Wurlitzer 850 Peacock Jukebox

Description: *RARE* Antique Vintage Wurlitzer 850 Peacock Jukebox A beautifully nostalgic piece, this Peacock Wurlitzer Jukebox, Model 850 (1941) plays 24 10" selections - 78 rpm. Featuring a veneered wooden case flanked by two bubble lit panels and fully lit corners and an arched top, this model was released just before the start of WWII and was regarded as the decorative top of the range at the time. It was designed by Paul Fueller and effectively drew to a close this type of extravagance which ended with the war and its aftermath.  Described by its manufacturer as "the only super deluxe phonograph in the industry," The 1941 Model 850 - also known as the Peacock - introduced Polarized film on a commercial scale. It is still the only jukebox ever to have used the film.  The machine's Polarizer unit is made up of two spinning, Polarized acetate disks with three incandescent light bulbs behind each one. (reproduction Polarizer assemblies use a single bulb in each unit). The Polaroid film interacts with the cellophane in the "analyzer" assembly to create a prism effect, breaking up the white light and producing a rainbow of colors in the peacock display on the front panel as the disks rotated.  The front door of the 850 is a sandwich composed of the front glass with the peacock image screened onto it; the analyzer, which kept the image from showing black spots; the Polaroid film; and a final sheet of clear glass. This is the largest jukebox that Wurlitzer ever produced.  It measures 65 1/2 in. high x 39 in. wide x 26 1/2 in. deep. *This item will require special shipping accommodations.
