Question A repairman removed the coin register mechanism from my WURLITZER 1700 jukebox and never returned it. Any idea where I can get a replacement one at and what price it will cost me? Who is a quality repairman/repair facility in the Sarasota/Tampa Florida area? Thanks for any and all help Jim
Answer Hi Jim,
I am going to give you some links to try out here, The first one is a great magazine for want adds and repair people:
And last a personal friend of mine, Bill Butterfield who has tons and tons of old original parts, you can tell him Rodger Knutson in Seattle sent you, also ask him who to trust to fix your box OK?
his site is at:
I am an expert on old coin operated machines, slot machines, trade stimulator's, jukeboxes, old arcade machines, etc. I have been identifying these for people who respond to my web site listed below, for a few years now. In almost all cases I am able to tell them about their old coin operated machines, the year, the value, and other general information about their machines. I do not know much about soda vending machines, coin banks, or scales, but I will try to help you with these if I can.

Experience
I bought my first slot machine, a .50 Cent Mills Black Cherry in 1969 and have been hooked from that time, I still have that Slot machine! Before that I found a open barrel full of old scraped jukebox wall boxes behind a restaurant, I wanted them all but never took a one of them. Anything that took a coin drove me nuts!
