About the Rock-Ola 1496 Empress jukebox

The Empress 120 offered 120 selections and leaned into a cleaner, more modern early-’60s look. Its standout feature is the glass top: you can watch the record-changing mechanism at work, which makes the machine endlessly fun to gather around. Restored and ready to play, this example combines that vintage appeal with reliable, everyday performance.
