Here is a very nice, original 104 select 1953 Wurlitzer wallboxin above average condition.  The 5204A wallboxes are VERY hard to find in any condition.
This wallbox was cleaned and restored in working condition.  It was thoroughly washed with hot water and degreasing detergent.  There is no nicotine residue.  This unit has been tested and makes all proper 104 selections.  This unit is ready to be connected to a jukebox with the proper stepper or can be connected to an ipod or any home stereo with the Data Sync Wallbox Player System.  (see item description under ADDITIONAL INFORMATION)
This wallbox is 100% complete with all coin equipment.  It takes Nickels, Dimes and Quarters.  It is presently set of ONE PLAY for a NICKEL, TWO PLAYS for a DIME and FIVE PLAYS for a QUARTER (factory setting).
A free play momentary switch has been added and pressing the button is equivalent to dropping a nickel
The cover is in very condition for a Wurlitzer 5204A cover.  However it has multiple cracks in the plastic in particular where the buttons are.  (see pictures or email or call for a more detailed description).  There are also scratches in the plexiglass dome (part of the cover) and these have been polished out as best as possible.  The chrome is in VERY GOOD condition, the sides with a mirror like finish and there is some minor pitting on the top edges.
The nickel finish on the top has been polished and shows signs of wear for a wallbox produced over 60 years ago.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Wurlitzer 5204A wallbox is a VERY rare and hard to find item with a production estimate of approximately three thousand.  The cover is made of gorgeous metal and iridescent powder blue and silver plexiglass case and has "see deep" decorations with red tenite buttons.  There are four rotating panels like the pages in a book lettered A, B, C and D.  Each panel lists 13 tunes per left and right side (26 songs visible at a time) that line up with the push buttons.
It was produced in 1953 specifically for the Wurlitzer 1500A and 1550A Jukeboxes.  It was the first 104 selection wallbox (second year of production) and is very unique although it can be used with any Wurlitzer 104 selection jukebox including the 1954 newly designed "carousels".  The Wurlitzer 253 steppers however have a different "timing" circuit although the pulse trains are identical.  When used with the data sync engineering adapters the timing on the signal output must be changed.  To accomplish this we added a toggle switch and relay so that it can be used with either a jukebox or an adapter.
It was patterned after the 3020 wallbox which had 24 selections and operated with 110 VAC.  The 5204 used three wires and low voltage, 24 VAC.  It incorporates the old style "coin grinder" type of accumulating credits.  When a coin is deposited it is held in place to calculate the proper number of credits to be established requiring a complete cycle with no signal output and then releases the coin into the coin box.  Once credits are established (up to 20) the wallbox will send out a signal when any of the 26 buttons is pressed and continue to hold credits until exhausted.
