The item to guess was a Jukebox, look at all the electronic goodness just to play some records… Lots of people got the make and model correct also! Congratulation to the people who guessed it correctly.
The winner is Curtis D.
Thanks to all who entered.

August 25th, 2007
lol, part of the image has been painted black!!!
August 25th, 2007
I’ve fixed a few of ‘em. Does that rule me out of the contest?

Cool prize! Major time saver!

Spiorf is right, there is a large part painted black, it that wasn’t done it would be a dead giveaway.

LOL, ya Bill, you are out of the contest for knowing too much.
Just kidding, of course you can enter. I am curious about how long they ran before needing service?

Ahh, the little bit of blur on the photo makes the text hard to read. Once I figured out the mechanism, some of the words became obvious.
I’m not entering, as I already have plenty of cable testers, but I wanted to say, this was a good one. The puzzles and the prizes are getting better, thanks Alan! I look forward to reading some of Bill’s stories after the contest ends…

It’s almost like one of those super zoomed photos that makes it very difficult to identify it readily.
August 26th, 2007
Yep, the text does become obvious when you figure out what it is. Without the black paint, it would have been too easy.
