wallbox

Non-PRO English to Spanish Art/Literary Music musical devices
I am translating a website for a small business that sells jukeboxes and wallboxes. I personally don't know the difference between the two. Can anyone help me translate 'wallbox' into Spanish? I said 'jukebox' was 'gramola'. Target language is Mexican Spanish. Thanks!

I think a wallbox, judging from images on the internet (https://www.google.es/search?q=jukebox music selector&newwin... is just where selections are made, it does not contain the discs. Whereas a jukebox is much larger, sits on the floor (is not wall-mounted) and contains the actual vinyls/CDs.
Gramola v seleccionador de musica ? caja de selecciones ?

De acuerdo con Neil. En español le llamamos a la "jukbox" en México: sinfonola, rockola. El "wallbox" es un aparato que normalmente se instala en la pared para cada mesa en un lugar público y está conectada con el aparato mayor que contiene los discos.
