Seeburg HF100R DIY Cabinet Laminate Kits....

Seeburg HF100R DIY Cabinet Laminate Kits....

I have 3 or 4 1954 Seeburg HF100R Jukeboxes that I will be restoring
over this winter. I have made jigs/templates and will be cutting out
Laminate for these specific boxes and I was wondering if there was a
demand out there for Seeburg HF 100 R DIY Kits.

The kit will contain all the same pieces found in this photo below minus
the cashbox door piece.

Depending on interest I may be able to offer various colors.

If anyone is interested in buying a kit you can give me a call at 973
962-6654 Thanks Jeff P.

Jeff, any idea how much they would run?

I'm thinking $250.00 plus whatever it costs to ship from 07456

Hi Terry, at this time I am only looking to see if there is enough
interest in these items for me to offer them out. I have you down as #1,
I would need at least 3 people interested in order for me to buy the
materials to create another batch. I usually can get 3 complete sets out
of 2 sheets of 4 x 8 material in order to do the White and Brown pieces.
Thanks for your interest and I hope that 2 or more people decide that
they want them too.

Have you approached Victory Glass to see if they are interested in
carrying the kits? Can't hurt to talk to them...

Looks nice; I'm possibly interested.

Can you describe the laminate cut / fitment in more detail? It looks like it
will fit UNDER the side chrome, is that correct? Ditto for the side speakers?
How is the fit around the coin door frame? i.e., is the frame visible once
the laminate is installed, or does the laminate cover all/some of the frame?

How thick is the laminate? (I know someone in years past offered a laminate
kit with material that was somewhat thinner than the stuff normally used for
glue-up counter tops.) Are the bottoms of the side inset pieces curved in the
kit or do I have to form them on site?

I don't visit this group frequently, so feel free to keep my e-mail address on
file if you get enough interest to produce these kits.

Thanks,
Joseph "Tony" Dziedzic

Hi John,

Thats a great idea, I have bought many things from Victory Glass since
1999 so it would be really nice if the checks could go in the opposite
direction for a change. Once I complete my first batch I will definitely
reach out to Denny to see if he has any interest.

Just an update: I have Terry (from this board) interested in a kit and a
guy from California who has called me and wants 2 kits so I will be
buying the materials sometime next week.

Just a FYI for all you do it yourselfers:

I really like Formica 7182 Dune Wood for the Whitewash White laminate
pieces and I really like Formica 1136 Chestnut Burl for the Brown
laminate pieces.

Unfortunately, the Formica 1136 Chestnut Burl has been discontinued and
I am currently looking for an alternative.

So if anyone on this Forum has any ideas of a similar looking Burl
substitute, please don't hesitate to post it.

In addition, While I am giving out FYI's, I aslo found that the Ace
Hardware stores carry a Warm Brown Spray Paint that is a dead on Match
to the Brown found on the inside and rear of the HF100R

Jeff -- it sounds like you've made these before? Forgive me if I
should know this, I really don't follow this NG much. But I've had my
R for 5 years now and I need to either get this done or get rid of it.

Do you see this as a relatively easy DIY project? I've never worked
with laminate before. I have done some veneer work.

Hi Tony,

You are correct, the laminate will fit under the chrome Boomerangs as
well as the Side Speakers, the Coin Return Cup and the Cash Box Door
Trim. The laminate will go under the Cash Box door Trim, So to answer
your question... Your Cash Box Door Trim will be completely visible.

The laminate will be 1/32 thick or 20 Mil. This is necessary as the 1/16
thick 10 Mil material that is generally used on countertops is too
thick, especially for the Brown pieces when you apply heat to them in
order to bend them around the lower front feet.

I will be building another jig in order to pre bend the 2 front Brown
pieces. I know that this procedure is a difficult process for the
general Do It Yourselfer and I feel that if I can pre bend them I can
make the installation process a whole lot easier.

At this point, I have a total of 6 kits to make, 3 for me and 3 for 2
people in the group so this project is a go.... I should have something
available in the next few weeks depending on availablity of the Brown
Burl that I cannot seem to find at this time.

Thanks for the Great Questions...

Hi Terry,

I looked for your email when you originally said you were interested in
these kits but could not find it. The same situation occured when I
looked for another person in this post that suggested that I save his
Email for a time when I actually have kits available. I am not sure why
Forum Member Email addresses are not available to me, maybe I have a
limited membership.

Yes, I have done this quite a few times in the past and I really don't
think its that big of a deal for the general Do It Yourselfer. Gluing
the Laminate pieces is pretty easy if you take your time, but there is
some dis-assembly of the cabinet involved prior to the laminating step.

Please feel free to call me next week if you would like to to discuss
this in detail.

I live in Northern New Jersey and if you are also from NJ or closeby and
you would like to stop by, I can show you in person exactly what needs
to be done and how you need to do it.

P.S. I do not understand what you meant when you said in your last post:

"I really don't follow this NG much"

Jeff -- I'm in Minnesota so a visit is unlikely, although the offer is
appreciated.

I read this newsgroup through Google groups, and I simply don't visit
it often - maybe once a week normally. I don't get an email digest.
That's all I meant.

On the other hand, I also read rec.antiques.radio+phono and I visit it
several times daily.

Let me know what laminate pattern you decide on to replace the burl.

Terry

I have a Correction to what I said previously:

The laminate will fit under the chrome Boomerangs as well as the Side
Speakers and the Coin Return Cup as stated earlier with one exception.

The laminate will not go under the Cash Box Door Trim as stated earlier.
Instead, it will be cut in such a fashion that will allow it to Butt up
Flush with the Cash Box door Trim making the Cash Box door Trim appear
to be recessed.

Thanks... I will keep you posted on the Burl I pick and I am also open
to suggestions as well.

You do realize that you can order custom Formica made...you can get
exactly the burl and colour you want. You would only need a reasonable
number of kits to make this feasible.

Thats interesting John....

I deal with a Formica Distributor called "Larkin" in Paramus NJ, I'll
check with them and see if that is a possibility and if it is would it
be cost effective. Thank you for the information... I would have never
even thought that was possible:)

Jeff,

Count me in for one of the R kits. Keep me posted on the burl
situation. I have two R's that I want to do this winter also. Will do
one and see how it turns out. Thanks again. Bill

Here is an update,

I have finished making the 2 hardest wooden templates For the HR100R.

The White section is dead on accurate when compared with 2 of my
HF100R’s jukeboxes especially in regards to the front edge where it
meets the Brown and the Cash Box door Trim.

I think when you enlarge the photos of the cash box door trim section
you will be pleasantly surprised on how nice and small the gap actually
is between the trim and the White Laminate.

The Brown section is dead on accurate when compared to a late 1990’s
leftover kit piece that I had laying around.

I still have to make a jig for the sections that go between the fluted
glass pieces and the 2 little strips that go on the top of the Brown
hockey sticks for lack of a better word

Hope you enjoy these pictures.
Talk to you soon.
Jeff P.

Jeff, when do you anticipate kits will be available? I could start
taking apart my R, but I don't really want it spread out across the
basement for weeks :-)

Terry

Yes, I am definitely interested in the DYI kit for the R. Please let me know if you do it. Thanks

Jeff Pluchino has been making them for quite a while, excellent quality.
