This isn't for a collector per se. It's for a woman who grew up dancing to the jukebox her father had bought. After years it developed problems with the sound and after replacing all three speakers (luckily the originals were saved), decided to take the amp and tone arm for repair and sometime between now and then, they got lost. I have no idea why the motor was removed. Anyway she isn't the average collector, she doesn't care what parts it takes just so she can hear it play again (and dance to it).
Not to mention that the cabinet is painted red using a roller, so it looks pretty ugly. Yes, it's a shame to leave it like it is and to use other parts that may fit, but I'm doing what the customer wants. By the way, many people have and will continue to change of adapt the tone arm to take a cartridge other than the Cobra it came with, that part doesn't take away from it's value.
PS: I don't need the motor bracket like I thought, just the motor.

I'm thinking how hard would it be to replace the DC motor with an AC one from a later machine? A bit of re-wiring, sure...but a more reliable motor as a result.

Hey John, do the AC motors fit the same or do they take different mounting? What models would I look at to find an AC mech motor?
Replying to myself, I looked through some manuals and found a 2800 has an AC motor. I have no idea of fitment. The box this is for is an 1800.
