In the 2006 movie “V for Vendetta”, self-proclaimed terrorist ‘V’ (Hugo Weaving) lived in a secret catacomb lair under London. The set designers did a fantastic job filling his underground realm with antique furniture, a grand piano and a large collection of 'looted' classical art.
V also had a vintage American jukebox and although I usually only collect props from Blade Runner when I first saw the movie I swore that I would have one like it, one day. More than a decade later and I finally have it!
It's a 1959 Wurlitzer 2300. The first stereo Wurlitzer jukebox. It holds fifty, seven-inch, 45rpm vinyl singles so a total of 100 songs to play if you happen to also like the B-sides. 'V's jukebox is actually the 2310 which holds 80 singles and has an extra set of buttons on the front panel but I have not come across this model for sale in all my searches. Funnily enough, in the movie ‘V’ claims his jukebox has over 800 songs on it. I guess the movie producers thought he would need a wider library of music for his underground exile.
