The Replay jukebox gets high-tech to go retro

In a world where vinyl jukeboxes are antiques and jukes loaded with compact discs are novelties, it seems that if you want to pick the music at a bar, you’re forced to deal with the Internet-ready players from outfits like TouchTunes and AMI. The Dave’s Stagecoach jukebox is long-gone, and the only local player we can think of that’s still worth a damn is within the basement of the Eighth Street Taproom.

However, the Replay Lounge in Lawrence has resuscitated their once-dead jukebox, only with a technological update. Justin Schweppe works for Replay owner Nick Carroll’s company, Bar Beverage Control, and put the whole thing together. We talked to him about what’s inside the box.
