juke box

Diner music machine

A jukebox is a coin-operated machine that plays recorded music, typically found in bars, diners, and other public spaces.

Users select songs from a menu by inserting coins and pressing buttons.

The jukebox was a fixture of American social life from the 1940s through the 1970s, before personal music players made communal listening less common.

Also spelled juke box.
