Question
I have a rowe-ami jukebox and would like to know its value.  I have only replaced speakers and needle but it is fully stocked and I have lots of extra 45's to go along with it.  I does light up but needs some wiring replaced.  Still takes nickels and dimes.  I think it is a model R-85.  Can you help?   thanks

Answer
Connie,

Condition is a huge factor with jukeboxes.  Thus, the price range is large.  I would expect a R-85 to be worth $100-600 depending upon condtion.  Yours would probably fall into the lower to middle of the range if it needs some attention.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
