All Sound Leisure Classic Jukeboxes are manufactured to a commercial standard and are built to last a generation. Like all electrical and mechanical products, they will require servicing at some point but the duration is dependent on how often they are used and the environment in which they are situated. We regularly see jukeboxes coming in for their first service after twenty or more years and we still support or repair the vast majority of the jukeboxes and technologies we have designed and built over the past 40 years.
FAQs
Can I connect the jukebox to Bluetooth speakers?
Our D4 jukebox amplifier features 1x stereo audio output which can be used to output the audio from the jukebox to any compatible external device. Bluetooth speakers are usually supplied with a Bluetooth transmitter, which converts the audio content from a music source into a Bluetooth signal which can then be beamed across the room to the wireless speakers. To connect a jukebox to a Bluetooth transmitter, connect the ‘output’ from the jukebox amplifier to the ‘input’ on your Bluetooth transmitter.
The output on the jukebox amplifier is a ‘phono’ socket, which features a separate plug for the left and right audio channels (usually red and white.) If your Bluetooth transmitter feature identical phono inputs, you will require a stereo phono to phone lead to make the connection. If your Bluetooth transmitter features a small 3.5mm or large 6.35mm ‘stereo jack’ input, you will require a phono to 3.5mm or 6.35mm jack lead to connect the two devices.
Both lead types can be purchased from Sound Leisure and our helpful team is only a call away if you need any advice or support connecting your jukebox to external devices such as Bluetooth transmitters.

Do I need to purchase CDs from you to fill the jukebox or can I use my own?
Our CD jukeboxes will play standard Compact Disks which can be purchased from any reputable retailer, there’s nothing unique or special about them so you can use CD’s you have already or purchase new discs anywhere.
If you’re struggling to find CD’s to initially fill your jukebox, we offer two CD packs to help get you started. Our popular “Decades” or “Oldies” packs both contain 80 CD’s and are supplied with the relevant jukebox labels. If you purchase either CD pack when ordering a new jukebox, both the labels and CD’s will be loaded on your jukebox to ensure its ready to enjoy the moment its delivered.
How long will it take to manufacture my jukebox?
Our production lead times vary considerably from month to month, but we’ve been extremely busy in recent months and have also been affected by supply chain issue as a result of Covid and Brexit, so our lead times are longer than usual.
LEAD TIMES (updated Nov 2021)
- Golden Age jukeboxes: (approx) 2.5 months
- Silver Age jukeboxes: (approx) 9 months
PLEASE NOTE
All stated lead times on this site are approximations only, please contact us if you would like an exact lead time for a specific jukebox model/configuration.
All stated lead times are taken from the date SL receive a deposit or full payment for the relevant order.

Can I connect my Sonos unit to my jukebox?
Our D4 jukebox amplifier features 1 stereo audio output which can be used to output the audio from the jukebox to any compatible external device. As long as you are not already using this to connect to another device you will be able to feed the audio from your jukebox to the Sonos system using a Sonos Port which costs around £400.
This will then transmit the audio from the jukebox wirelessly across your Sonos setup. Both the D4 amplifier and the Sonos Port use phono connections which features a separate plug for the left and right audio (usually red and white) at each end of the lead. To connect the Sonos device to the output of the jukebox amplifier you’ll just need a stereo phono to phono lead.
You can purchase a Sonos Port via the Sonos website, and if you need any assistance connecting it up please just get in touch.
Can I put shuffle mode on the jukebox?
Yes, of course!
All our CD and Vinyl jukeboxes can automatically select and play tracks to save you making selections, but the exact functionality depends on the format of music your jukebox plays (eg CD, vinyl 45 etc.)
The following general information should apply to all models:
- To enabled a shuffle mode, press the “shuffle on” button on the remote control. A dot will appear on the jukebox display to confirm “shuffle mode” has been enabled.
- Depending on your jukebox model, multiple shuffle modes may be available by pressing the “shuffle on” button multiple times. E.g. CD jukeboxes can shuffle discs (where entire albums are played) or tracks (where individual tracks are played.)
- To disable shuffle mode press the “Shuffle Off” button on the remote control. The dot on the jukebox display will disappear to confirm “shuffle mode” has been disabled.
PLEASE NOTE :
- as 7″ singles only have one “track” per side, the shuffle ‘disc’ and shuffle ‘track’ produce the same outcome.
- due to the nature of the medium, LP mechanisms are unable to select individual tracks from an album therefore the shuffle mode selects and plays random LP sides.
For specific features and instructions relating to your specific jukebox model, please consult your user manual.
Is there an easy way to play a full CD album on a jukebox other than selecting each track individually?
Yes, you can quickly select playback of all the tracks on a specific CD as follows:
- Enter the disc number of the specific track you want to play (e.g. 105)
- Rather than entering a track number (e.g. 05) just enter 00
- The jukebox will then select the disc and commence playback of the full album. You can then use the options on the remote control to affect playback, for example:
- >> will skip forwards to the next track on the album
- << will replay the current track. Double pressing << will skip back to the previous track.
- REJECT/DISC will eject the current album.
For specific features and instructions relating to your specific jukebox model, please consult your user manual.

Are the jukeboxes reliable?
You hear all too often “things aren’t built the way they used to be.” That’s not a comment you’ll ever hear regarding a Sound Leisure Classic Jukebox.
We’ve been designing and building jukeboxes for over 4 decades, and we’ve learnt a huge amount during that time. From becoming the first British company to design, develop and build a commercially viable and widely adopted jukebox platform in the 1970’s, we went on to pioneer the early development of digitised music platforms in the 1980’s and were responsible for the reintroduction of vinyl jukeboxes in 2016. We remain a globally recognised and respected leader in our sector with countless patents and industry firsts to our name.
We continue to go to huge lengths to ensure the quality of our machines remains extremely high, from the utilisation of innovative modern 3D CAD design, to our ongoing pledge to contunue hand-building every Classic jukebox in the UK using our skilled and experienced workforce. Our consistent success and growth, over a 40 year period which saw the demise of many long established jukebox manufacturers such as Seeburg and Wurlitzer, is based on our ongoing commitment to the development of better products and technologies and our unfading commitment to high quality British manufacturing.
- We only build 1 grade of jukeboxes, there’s no difference between a Sound Leisure jukebox built to be used in a living room in Paris or a Las Vegas restaurant, they are identical in every respect.
- The vast majority of our cabinets and technologies are developed to full commercial standards and all are independently safety tested and certified to modern standards.
- All our mechanisms and jukebox technologies are designed, developed and manufactured in-house by our talented team of engineers and only available on Sound Leisure products. It’s only by retaining this level of control we are able to ensure a customer experience which is without compromise.
- Our bubble tubes are encased in the same polycarbonate as used in Police riot shields.
- Our “Golden Age” dome top cabinets are made from one piece of laminated ply wood, just like the originals were. We are the only manufacturer in the world still able to build cabinets this way.
We’ve filled venues across the world with music for over 40 years and produced hundreds of thousands of jukeboxes. While our manufacturing focus now sits entirely with Classic Jukeboxes, it’s reassuring to know every jukebox we build stands of the shoulders of four decades of knowledge, experience and expertise.
How many CD’s / Records do the jukeboxes hold?
- Our CD mechanisms hold 80 cds.
- Our 45rpm vinyl playing mechanism holds 70 x 7″ singles and can play both sides, offering 140 selections.
- Our LP playing mechanism comes in two variants, a 10 x player (20 selections) and a 20 x player (40 selections).
Both play 12″ LP vinyl records and 12″ singles. - All our jukeboxes are bluetooth compatible offering unlimited selections via streaming.
