As I gather information about the SongBird Jukeboxes, built in 1989, I will be adding links and quotes from other sites that I run across.

General info:  You'll find the SongBird in several colors, most are in a shade of pink like the above photo.  A few may be found in other colors.  Some are set up to play 45s, others are set up for CDs.  The one pictured above plays 45s.  The taillights blink when turned on.  There is also a light behind the license plate and in the exhaust outlets.  The taillights take standard 57 Ford rear light lens either with or without the chrome trim.  Though the rear bumper looks like the 57 Tbird bumper, it is of one piece construction in fiberglass.  The license plate area will take a standard license plate frame.  It's lit from behind.  Each handbuilt jukebox has a unique serial number.  It uses the NSM ES-2 mechanism for selecting the records.  There are 160 selections when all 80 slots are full

The following is an excerpt from a Jukebox History written by Jert J. Almind.

•  "The editor will conclude this short historical survey by mentioning, that a rather interesting design patent was granted in England only a decade ago (1994). Stephen K. Joynes used the rear of a Morris Mascot (the Mini) as the cabinet for a jukebox, probably well inspired by the Songbird jukebox introduced late in 1989 by the Carson City Manufacturing Co. in Shakopee, Minnesota (a copy of the tail section of a classic Ford Thunderbird of 1957). "

 Nostalgia Sounds.com  repairs vintage Jukeboxes and has had SongBirds in the past for sale.

Another search of the net brought up a red SongBird.  You'll enjoy the pics of the garage/playroom, too.

Some have even made it to Europe.  There was a report on the internet several years ago about an importer who brought in 10 of them.  The report indicated that the 10 did not take too well to shipping and repairs were needed on them when they arrived.

There is a google forum on jukebox collecting where there have been a couple of inquiries about the system the jukebox uses. 

Just found a site that is cataloging various Jukeboxes, called JukeBox Guide.  He has a page listing for the Carson City Manufacturing SongBirds.  Looks like there were 4 versions of the record playing  model.  Pictured is one with a 120 selection mechanism.  No pictures for any of the others.

Carson City Manufacturing also made a "Country Classic" jukebox - in the shape of the front  end of a pickup truck and they also did the rear end of a boat called the "Star Cruiser".

Song Bird Brochure
Front and backside of the SongBird brochure for the 45 rpm record machine from the collection of Steve Legel.			The brochure does say that the Song Bird is available in Pink, Robin's Egg Blue, Turquoise,  Red, and White. I have seen the Pink and Turquoise and white, and a photo of a red one but have not seen it in the Robin's Egg Blue .  If you have pictures of this color, please let me know! A red for the site would be handy, too.
