Our friends know that Bedell family holiday cards are irregular and often late, but worth the wait. Here’s the very long story of this year’s cards… I’ve always wanted to make a record, but I’m not a musician. I’m a graphic designer. Several years ago, I came across a book Read more
I last posted a general Midwest Ephemera overview about six months ago, so it seemed like time for an update. Looking back at the past year, Midwest Ephemera has come a long way! As a quick refresher, I’m an experienced (old!) graphic designer who started producing jukebox lettering kits as Read more
I’ve been selling jukebox lettering kits for more than a year now, and Midwest Ephemera LLC has been an official entity for a few months. Seems like a good time to post an update, as an excuse to collect my thoughts, see where everything stands, and have a record for Read more

Our reproduction Seeburg SC-1 Consolette Wallbox text (original part no. 509088 ”Type RACK-1 Remote Alphabet Kit”) is printed, cut, and ready to go! They’re available here! They’re $25/set plus shipping. If you have multiple SC-1’s installed at a diner or other commercial location, drop me a line, I can make Read more
We’ve finished the artwork and setup for Seeburg SCH wallbox and AY jukebox lettering… we should have both kits available very early in 2021.
This spring, as the quarantine kicked in, I finally (with a lot of help) got our Seeburg LPC-1 running, which was also the genesis of my project to reproduce jukebox lettering. Around the same time, my son came home from school with an origami piano, and the shape looked very Read more
