Question
Mr. Knutson,  I am hopeful that you could give me a reasonable selling price for this particular jukebox.  It has a few minor issues. Sometimes the selection buttons stick and you hear the same song repeated. There is one of the lights that doesn't work.  Other than that it is in very good shape.  I am in need of selling it.

Answer
Hi Robbie,

Your KS-200 Seeburg was made in 1957, the KS-200 and the KD-200 are the same jukebox except the KS has single priceing (non-accumulative), KD has dual priceing (accumulative). This was the first year for imperial style taillights in grille and the last year for Rotating program drum. In the condition you describe a dealer might offer you 1,275.00 wholesale or less for it as a grade 4 box. Restored and like new and being sold retail at a store with a guarantee this box has a top value of $8,550.00 in grade one condition, the best condition possible or found right out of the box new. Grade 2 is refurbished store retail with guarantee and that value is $6,050.00. Then real nice and working grade 3 would sell wholesale for about $2,050. A parts box of this model, grade 5, would bring maybe $635.00. I hope this gives you all the information and some extra on it, that you wanted to know.
Sincerely
Rodger Knutson
