The Model 42 was sold by Wurlitzer during the war years of 1942 through 1945. The shortage of materials because of the war effort made it practical to furnish only a new cabinet design. The mechanical record selector from the 1938 Models 500 and 600 fit perfectly. Plastic was also unavailable, so all the light showed through glass, and wood was used instead of opaque colored plastic. (from Jukebox by Wurlitzer 1989 Calendar)
