AboutRodger Knutson Expertise 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!
Question We have this jukebox we are wanting to sell but have no idea how much to ask for. ITs a 1957 AMI model #JCH100. It looks in decent but is not working. I can send pictures if you need.
Thank you
Brandi
Answer Dear Brandi,
Your AMI Model H of 1957 has a restored, like new, and in grade one condition, and being sold retail with a guarantee, has a value of $4,000.00. in a grade 2 refurbished and sold retail with a guarantee, a value of $3,000.00. Grade 3 is a wholesale value for a working good juke and is $1,000.00. and grade 4 is a none working poor condition wholesale value which is listed at $600.00. So Brandi, I would say ask 1,000.00 and take and offer, and feel good that your getting a fair market value out of it, and you should be OK.
Please leave some good feed back if this has been helpful.
