Question
I have a chance to buy this Jukebox from an estate.  It looks and sounds good.  I haven't seen it myself but a family member ran across it. He said the bottom changes colors as it operates and the overall appearance is good.  I have several other Jukeboxes (3 Seiburgs and a Packard) but not familiar with this model.  What is the approximate value of this machine?  Appreciate your help.  Jim Hines

Answer
Jim,

I found it listed in a book for $500-1500 depending upon condition.  The high price would be for an example that is restored and in perfect working order.  If it doesn't work properly or needs some attention, the value would be closer to the lower end of the range.  Good luck with it.

Expertise

I'm an expert on coin operated machines. I can answer questions on slot machines, gumball & peanut machines, jukeboxes, arcade machines, pinball machines, gambling machines and any other device that operates with a coin. I have a couple hundred machines in my collection and have seen hundreds of others while traveling across the country and going to antique shows. I can give an appraisal on your item, but please send a picture if possible so I can give you accurate information. You can send pictures to me at buck@nvc.net
