My research indicates that the “alphabet kits” described in the original manuals were a large wooden storage case with hundreds of letters, enough for an operator to service and customize many jukeboxes. When an operator ran out of a letter, they could order replacement letters in envelopes of 25 per letter. Our reproduction kits are intended for modern jukebox owners and hobbyists who want a complete but manageable and affordable set of letters and symbols to customize (and occasionally re-customize) their jukebox. Our kits include the following quantities:
