Question
QUESTION: I live in N.E. Ohio and have a Seeburg Q 100 and the original manual #55113.  What is the value and where can I sell it at?  Thank you !

ANSWER: Hi Gale,

The Seeburg Q-100 Has a value guide rating in 5 different grades. I'll give you the value in average working condition and if it is not, or if you need to tell me it is in better or worse condition, please write me at jackpot7@ix.netcom.com and I'll give you much closer value information based on your jukes condition, OK? average value should be around $800.00 in grade 3 and called wholesale, that is what you could expect a dealer might offer you for it. Grade 2 is a refurbished jukebox, and maybe for sale in a shop or store front with maybe a guarantee, and that value is $2,500.00 So, if you were selling this yourself the value would be in the area of $1,100.00 to $1,700.00 which is also going to depend on what it looks like, and if it works. Giving a value for something you can't see or inspect or even know if it works, is just almost imposable, but I am trying to give you and others something that you can work with here. I hope you understand that most people in the business would not even want to guess value without seeing it first. I do understand that most people asking this same question are looking for anything in information as to what there machine might be worth, to have or get and idea of were to start at for value, so I really try to help with this answer and give people some kind of tools to work with for figuring out a asking price so they don't end up selling a valuable antique machine for way under it's real value and being sick about that later when they find out. I try to do this with the most care possible to help as much as I can because I am always looking for top rating here at allexperts which the feedback is my total reward for doing all this, that's it. Maybe someday I can take all that great feedback and put it in a can and ware it proudly up on my shoulder. Any other questions, please just ask away Gail, OK?

Thank you

Cheers

QUESTION: #1 you may not have wanted to answer part 2 of my question without this information but this would be helpful to know.
#2.  at one time it worked and I'm told it needs a new sound tube (?)  that may not be the correct term
#3.  and I broke one other tube that I don't know it's function but still have the broken part
#4.  it is in very good condition other than that and when it works it sounds great

Answer
Hi Gale,

This is a little confusing but it sounds like you need some tubes, or amp repair or amp rebuild so I can give you some links to help you locate what you need. You will need the tube numbers or they may be listed in your manual. Or, you might need a better manual but lest get the links for you here:
