Did they place a significant role in your life?
I remember the one at the Ninth Circle. It played 'Love Hangover,' 'D-I-V-O-R-C-E,' 'I'll Play the Fool for You,' and 'Midnight Blue' on a seemingly endless loop in 1976 and '77.

My parents bought a vintage jukebox in the 80s and we had a lot of fun with it. If it wasn’t this model it was very similar

Not significant, but I have fond memories of pumping quarters into them to load my favorite songs. I think Otis Redding's "Dock of the Bay" might be my most played song when I was a kid. When I shot pool in a league, we often played at a bar with a jukebox heavy on Garth Brooks. I knew the lyrics to most of his hits because of that jukebox alone.

I worked in a bar that had a jukebox. "Hotel California" multiple times per night. Ugh! When we did last call & I wanted the bar to clear out, I'd walk over to the jukebox and select "Epic" by Faith No More ("you want it all, but you can't have it" and the obnoxious "rap").

Growing up, all the diners in my area had small juke boxes (boxen?) at all of the table so you could play your favorite song while you waited for your club sandwich to be served.

My neighbors in suburban So Cal had a jukebox in the garage we could play for free while also playing ping pong. I could make a good list of the songs in that machine, we listened to them so many times.
When I was an underage bartender at a gross punk pub in Fullerton, we had a jukebox people dumped money into all night. We bartenders knew we could bang it with our knee, causing all the quarters to come rattling down into the change hole as it racked up free plays. Then we'd program in a superset. Behind the bar was a cancel button for songs we hated.
