The indoor Rock around the Jukebox show 2010
The Rock Around the Jukebox Air Show is organized by the Jukebox Fanaat magazine.
The 2010 edition was held in the weekend of October 16 and 17.
As usual we visited this yearly show. It's an event we really don't want to miss. We were there already on saturday morning around 10 o'clock, when the doors opened. Compared to the last years, the number of people that's there early in the morning is less and less.. in the first 2 hours of the morning the show wasn't very crowded, especially on the main floor you could take your time and have a detailed look at everything (and take pictures). In the afternoon it really got crowded. Seems the audience changed, a few years ago there were a lot of people who went there early (hoping to find some treasures before anyone else had it), and now the visitors just want to have a day off.. Although there are always early birds, not soon after I arrived I already saw people walking back to their cars with their arms full..
A lot of the things for sale are the same as the last years. I'm glad to see there were still pinball machines for sale. Not a lot, but a little bit more than before, and at some booths the prices were reasonable.
Enjoy the pictures, there are over 120 in total, so I have split them up over several pages.

it was more common to see these unrestored jukeboxes for sale.
