A new french company developed the Orpheau jukebox. The machine can read 20 lps.
18k euros. Ouch!
The mechanism looks as if it might break down quite quickly!

How can it cost 18 k ? It’s incredible.
…and why would someone actually pay 18000!
It appears to use a Dual CS435 or CS410 as the actual turntable. Interesting nevertheless…

I find it nice and original, but 18k seems very very expensive for it. Disproportionate.
…apart from the price…is there actually a market?
(Listening to Cowboy Junkies: The Trinity Session, at the moment, on aTT which cannot be loaded up with discs!)
More designed for fun and people with deep pockets I feel. Not an audiophile one as us.
I suspect a lot of the quality has gone into the disc changer itself, which does look very industrial and factory like, this didn’t leave a lot left for the table or tonearm itself, maybe?
Richard said it’s a dual turntable. Can’t say how it sound, but probably something on the level of an entry level turntable.
So I agree, money was put towards the disc charger and cabinet.

It looks a bit flimsy for all that money, FR…
