A special note about Bubble Tubes.
It takes several minutes for the bubble tubes to begin bubbling after the jukebox has been turned on. Normally they
start bubbling within 10 or 15 minutes. If the bubbles don't start in that length of time you can very gently tap on the
bottom of the tube with your fingernail to start the bubbling.
Your jukebox is equipped with four "Bubble Tubes". Bubble Tubes have been used in jukeboxes since the 1940s. Their
bright bubbling appearance creates an enchanting display which adds color and movement to your Crosley Jukebox.
The tubes are filled with a liquid that "boils" or bubbles at approximately 100 degrees. Each of the four tubes has a
small resistor at the base of the tube that provides the heat for the tube. Small crystals in the bottom of the tube serve
to concentrate the heat and cause the bubbles. The tubes are very safe in their sealed environment, however care
should be taken not to jar or bend the tubes. If broken you should not handle the fluid and you should make every
attempt to clean up the liquid as soon as possible. Like the neon in your Crosley jukebox, bubble tubes should never
wear out.
The "air" at the top of each tube is not air, but a vacuum. The amount of vacuum may be greater or smaller at various
times due to atmospheric conditions and ambient temperature. The tubes must have the vacuum at the top so that
they do not shatter when heated. Although some of the vacuum is hidden by the chrome pieces on the jukebox it is
considered normal to have a small amount of vacuum or air space showing.
