Peter Greenaway's career has taken him all over Australia and the world.
Over the years he has been held up at knifepoint, robbed twice and wrongly arrested once.
"It was a very colourful industry," Mr Greenaway said, smiling.
He has never worked for ASIO or the CIA – instead he's spent the past 60 years working with jukeboxes.
"I love the uniqueness of working with jukeboxes," he said.
Jukeboxes in the family
A career operating, repairing and servicing jukeboxes wasn't so much chosen by Peter, as it was chosen for him.
In 1950, his father Max Greenaway was running a hotel and radio repair shop in Kyabram, a town in Victoria's Goulburn Valley.
"An Italian bloke came in and asked my dad if he could repair jukeboxes," Mr Greenaway, now 65, said.
His dad hadn't heard of a jukebox before but replied "of course I can".
When he found out the automated music machine was earning £40 a week (four times what he was paying his shop manager), Max not only learnt to repair jukeboxes, but make them from scratch.
So he built 250 and put them in milk and Tarax Bars across regional Victoria.
An early apprenticeship
Peter went on his first job at age five, when he helped service a jukebox at the old Koala Kafe in Lorne.
"I split my leg open bringing the toolbox in," he said.
It didn't put him off. In the years to come he spent a lot of time travelling around Victoria with his dad fixing jukeboxes.
He grew to love the machines, and the challenge of fixing them.
At the business' height, Mr Greenaway and his father owned and operated almost 1500 jukeboxes up and down Australia's east coast.
They had jukeboxes with CDs and records, and were even inspired to start one of the first jukebox party hire services after a request from the Victorian governor general in the `60s.
As poker machines made their way into pubs and audio technology moved on, the demand for jukeboxes eventually began to wane.
In 2002 Mr Greenaway decided to retire from the profession, selling his last jukebox.
But his love for the machines never left him.
Demand for repairs at 'all time high'
In 2017 Mr Greenaway posted an ad on Gumtree offering 'jukebox repairs'.
He thought it could be a nice hobby in his retirement.
He expected to receive one machine a month – last year he repaired 350.
Mr Greenaway, who lives in Rosebud, is now one of the few people in Australia who can repair, restore and service every make and model of jukebox.
"The demand for fixing jukeboxes is probably at an all-time high," he said.
People have sent machines from as far as Perth and Cairns. He's even had enquiries from overseas.
Although he admits Australian jukebox owners will "have problems" getting their machines fixed when he stops working, he hasn't considered taking on an apprentice.
"A lot of the knowledge I've learnt is when I was a little kid and it is ingrained in my memory," he said.
"So to try and teach somebody 50 years of different jukeboxes, that would be a bit of a task."
