A Bal-AMI Model J-200M jukebox of 1959

In 1953 an Englishman Samuel Norman did a deal with the US Company AMI to supply and market/manufacture the American machines in the UK from his factory "Balfor Industries" in Ilford, Essex.
These were known as Bal-Amis and here is a model "J" from 1959

Advertised as...
" High-style cabinetry for top eye-and-buy appeal " .. with ... " Multi-Horn High Fidelity sound System .... horizontal play with gentle, grove preserving, gravity needle ride ... the letter-numeral designation of the selection wanted is brought into position with a turn of the wheel at the front of the cabinet. Pushing a single lighted button begins play."
