Moderator's note: This was originally a post in the 16mm equipment sales section. I've rarely seen these soundie machines so I wanted to preserve the information by starting this topic. Joe was kind enough to let us use his photos here.

Vintage Mills Panoram Soundie Movie Jukebox. This rare original coin operated rear projection movie jukebox was manufactured by Mills Amusement of Chicago in the early 1940s for the RCM Soundie Corporation, and was used to show single selection 16mm musical short subjects in bars, arcades, and other amusement locations. Originally found in Everett, WA, this unit is #213, and has been carefully stored for over half a century. An excellent restoration project, the machine has a solid wooden cabinet with handsome walnut veneer, vented top dome, internal rear projection mirrors, coin box, and is supplied with two original Panoram RCA 16mm rear projector units, with original lenses. Continuous loop reel (holds 8 selections), banner hardware, amplifier and speakers are not included. Original replacement parts all available at https://millspanoram.com |
