I look for the karaoke clubs to go to the Machine that plays a karaoke song w/video screen and sound set up that sells for about $3,000, has about 30,000 karaoke songs, and do away with the karaoke host. Just put in your dollar and sing.

it's the same thing as if you'are the charging the customers to sing,i know someone that has that kind of gears, it's one of those sing along mic, some of them even has more songs than that ( in a chip ) the only thing with that is ,it sounds like you're in a tunnel and it gives you an score after you got than singing,and applause ,if you hit around 99 ( score ) and thats not a professional gear..i dont think it cost that much..around $300 it depends on how many songs are in a chip..

that's a nice gear, i read the method of payment on that and in my opinion the only people thats going to make money are acekaraoke and the owner of the establishment, 50% to ace ( depends on how much you put down as a down payment ) and of course you have to give some to the establishment for using the place and electric, and how many people do you think will use it and how often, i think you'll be lucky to net $100 a week or less..

No, CAVS sells a self contained system w/15,000- 30,000 songs, built in key change, video screen, 500 watt system for about $3,000. You buy and don't share with anyone. Has built in slot for money and money changer. It ain't cheap.

To make something like that work (as an individual) you would need to buy the machines and convince establishment owners to let you put one in their place of business for a cut of the profits. In other words become a jukebox/pool tables/pin ball/electronics games provider for the locations around you. I had an uncle who had that kind of business in Oklahoma back in the 60's and he made good money from it.
Billyo I think this is probably aimed more at bar/restuarant owners as a way to have Karaoke with out having to hire a KJ. Not a good thing for us, but expensive enough that I don't think it will go over that well. Besides if you look at the list of requirements #1 is that you must be within 50 miles of Ace Karaoke. That kind of limits their sales.
