FIRST JUKEBOX INSTALLED
November 23, 1889 - Palais Royale Saloon, San Francisco
The first jukebox was installed when an entrepreneur named Louis Glass and his business associate, William S.

The machine, an Edison Class M Electric Phonograph with oak cabinet, had been fitted locally in San Francisco with a coin mechanism invented and soon patented by Glass and Arnold.

Known as “Nickel-in-the-Slot,†the machine was an instant success, earning over $1000 in less than six months.
