I was fascinated with this video jukebox when I was 12 when we were on vacation & ate a restaurant that had a Scopitone in there. Surprised it fizzled out so fast. If I had money, I’d buy one of these. Great conversation piece as many don’t know they even existed even though they are Boomers.

Very nice machine! But it's not video :-) How much did it fetch?

H. H. If it's not then what is it?

[@scotpens]

Technically it's film, not video. But you could say Scopitones were an early type of music videos in a generic sense.
