Jukebox plays 45 RPM, 1951

   The first jukebox that plays 45 RPM records is introduced.


  In 1950, the Seeburg Corporation continued to innovate by being the first manufacturer to use 45rpm records instead of 78rpm records in its jukebox. This switch from 78rpm’s to 45rpm’s was in large part due to the recording ban of 1948. 

  Subsequently, all jukeboxes made prior to 1950 became obsolete in the consumer’s mind, despite the fact that many models were still in perfect, working condition.
