I could have sworn these were offered for sale in the states a few years ago.
Could have been a different company.
They have had the Yellow Sub jukebox at the store inside the Mirage hotel since "Love" opened. The price is $9995.00. It was there during the pre-opening shows, and it was still there when I last saw the show on December 27th.
