Pop Century Jukebox

[WEDWDW]

When I began my stay at Pop the "numbers and letters" were missing from the Jukebox.

One morning I noticed they were back.

The letters go from H to J ommiting the I.

Why is there no I?Inquiring minds want to know!

I would assume cuz of the ease of mixing up 1 and I

That style of jukebox doesn't have an I because it would be easily confused with a 1, as the PP said.

Thanks guys!

That was my assumption as well-just wanted to make there wasn't some "deeper Disney Imagineer meaning"-you know how those guys are!

Maybe that imagineer was a little too young to have seen that kind of jukebox control.

You press one letter button and one digit button (either order) even though in the small picture the label seems to read "B10" for the bottommost selection. If you actually pressed B one zero in order you would get selection B1.

Nitpicking. Note that in the large picture the song labels include a B11 and B12 but there are no buttons for those selections. Still good enough for a movie prop.

(Paraphrased from a Boston Pops concert broadcast several years ago"
Keith Lockhart (conductor): "This selection is by Leroy Anderson and is called 'The Typewriter' "
Narrator: For those of you who are less than 40 years old and who don't know what a typewriter is, we should name this, 'The Video Game' "
Then a few actors on stage play a video game and the display is on a big screen above (fake display to be in rhythm with the music) as the orchestra plays the tune.
