Well, I've been busy this month...

First up, I decided to update
RoboJuke with a new Motherboard, Processor, RAM and SSD. The old one was a Celeron 700 with 2GB of RAM running Windows XP on a 40GB Hard Drive. I upgraded to a Celeron N3150 (Quad Core 1.35Ghz), with 8GB of RAM running Windows 10 on a 240GB SSD.

After upgrading, I found out that the software I was using (Virtual Music Jukebox) wouldn't run on Windows 10. After looking for a replacement, I gave up and wrote my own Jukebox Software called "Simple JukeBox". It is avilable for FREE, you can read more about it here:

I also upgraded my work Bench.. Was running out of storage space, so I added a shelf above the bench.

I like it.

Where do you get your parts storage bins?

Thanks.

The blue ones are from Fry's Electronics, but you should be able to get them online as well.

Home Depot also has some that I have that are pretty good.

I have a mix of them:

Wish I could find the time and motivation to clean an organize my bench. I just wing it lol. Looks like a dumpster threw up but I know where everything is.
 
Shame we don't see more people restoring actual jukeboxes.
It's intimidating at first but so rewarding when it's done.

Ahhh yes, that looks familiar. I had to learn how to service one of these in my 72 Firestar. You are right, so rewarding when working correctly.
 
How I wish I could keep my shop so organized and clean ...
