The only table tops I've seen lately were at Johnny Rockets but the only one still around is in Auburn Hills. Honest John's on Selden might still have them.

12 Mile/ Orchard Lake- former Biff's/ Old Time Deli/ Silverman's, now Hazel &Roberto's Coney.
RIP Hazel [[12/24/10) I used to play 'Never On Sunday' for the old Greek Gal, she'd 'dance' waving the handkerchief.

Track down Mr.Peabody and Sherman ,have them set the wayback machine for the mid 70's.
Then head to the restaurant on the southwest corner of E Eight mile road and Van Dyke .
You can even sit at the window and watch the cars go by while listening to your selections.

I forgot about them jukebox deals at Gracies. Always sit in the same couple of booths.

Canterbury Palace. They also have fresh homemade pecan pie that is out of this world.

Brings back memories of going to Clock restaurants in the 70's.
Kind of disgusting because they weren't always properly cleaned and you could often find crusty ketchup/mustard and bashed potatoes smeared on them.

seems like some old time Big Boys had them, too

That's the one I was going to mention. Been there for a few late-night breakfasts over the years!

Yes all the Big Boy restaurants had table side juke boxes in the 60's...the Big Boy that was on Harper and Dickerson had car hops...I think they wore roller skates.

omg, I love that place. I used to go there after I left The Carriage House on Grand River.

There is a shiny diner on Woodward, in Royal Oak I think, and I think they have them. Has been a few years since I've been there.

lilpup · January-22-11, 02:14 PM

The diner in Henry Ford Museum might have them, too.

**1KielsonDrive** · January-22-11, 02:31 PM

Does anyone know where I might get some of these table size juke boxes?

I curious. You got a jukebox to use as a master? I assume the individual manufacturers had their own table top systems, that is you couldn't connect a Seeberg tabletop to a Rock-Ola or Wuriltzer "master".

**Zacha341** · January-23-11, 12:52 PM

LOL! Ick... perhaps that added to the musical flavor!
