How does the jukebox work?
The jukebox is located at Neely's Bar and is covered with a sheet. When you remove the sheet and interact with the device, the jukebox will get damaged. You will receive half of a broken vinyl record. To open the jukebox, you have to fix it and play a working record. For this you need a few items, which are:
- Coin - you probably already have it, as it's what leads you to Neely's Bar. You can find it at the Texan Cafe, in the cash register. We described how to get it on a separate guide page.
- First half vinyl record - interact with the jukebox to receive it.
- The other half of the vinyl record and vinyl glue - both of these items can be found at Groovy Music.
- Jukebox button - you can find it in the Saul Street Apartments.
Use the map to get to these locations. Below we describe how to obtain the items.
How to obtain the second half of the vinyl record and vinyl glue?
Head to the Groovy Music record store, located north of Neely's Bar. Inside, there are two enemies awaiting you - watch your back and don't let them sneak up on you from behind. You can immediately attack the first enemy and kill it before the second one gets close or try to separate them using the shelves inside the store.
After the fight, break the glass inside the store and go through it to the next room. On the table you will find the second half of the record and glue. You will now learn how to combine items - go into your inventory and combine glue with the broken pieces of the record to fix it.
How to get the button for the jukebox?
The Saul Street Apartments are located in the south of the district on Saul Street. Upon entering, go to the corkboard with the building plan and walk down the hall opposite, then go through the ajar door at the end of the hall. You will find yourself in a pharmacy - inside a small box you'll find a syringe.
After obtaining the syringe, approach the dresser next to the building plan and push it to unlock the door. You will enter the office - the memo on the desk will guide you to apartment no. 5. The key to this apartment is hanging on the office wall - pick it up.
Go up the stairs to the higher floor. There are a few bugs around here - listen to your radio and kill them with the plank when you get close to them. On the upper floor, find apartment no. 5 and open it with a key, then squeeze through to the next room through a crack in the wall.
Go through the second crack and then through the open window to the staircase outside. Go up the hill and go through the open window once again - hurry up because the stairs will fall behind you. In the next room, examine the locked door.
Go into the bathroom right next door and put your hand into the hole in the wall. Dig inside it for a bit until you find the missing button for the jukebox. Once you've obtained the button, you can now leave the apartments - leave through the door and go down the ladder to head back into town. You can now return to Neely's Bar to save the game or go directly to Groovy Music.
How to fix the jukebox?
Once you have obtained all the items and assembled the pieces of the broken record in your inventory, return to Neely's Bar and use the jukebox. Eject the disc drive - first you need to lower the small safety lock inside the jukebox. Insert the disc and the camera will move to the top of the jukebox.
Place the missing button in the jukebox and slide the coin obtained from Texan Cafe into the hole on the right side. You need to play the record now - press the C and 2 buttons. You will receive a key to Neely's Bar - you can now continue exploring the district by opening the locked doors inside the bar.
