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!
WOW, you are going to have me busy this morning with the three questions, but lets get at it, in rapid fire action.........
First, the following information about jukebox grades, there are 5 grades and you have to be the teacher, err (grader) as I can't be with your jukebox's to grade them.
Grade 1 is "Restored", 100 percent perfect.
Grade 2 is "Refurbished", good looking, ready to play, sound great.
Grade 3 is "As is good", from working location to a house, might need normal work, may not be working but not abused, a good family project.
Grade 4 is "As is poor", not working moved to the garage or barn, rough, rusty, maybe dented, dirty maybe with critters living inside it, not much missing but maybe a broken glass or two, for a low-budget hobbyist, inexpensive purchasing & expensive rehabbing.
Grade 5 is "Parts Machine" a hardcore junker.
Other information: Grades 1 & 2 are Retail Prices in a retail store with delivery, set up, warranty, service and parts for a fee when necessary. Grades 3,4 & 5 are wholesale prices a dealer might offer to buy your jukebox. So Grades 1 & 2 are prices in a retail store or (auction). Grades 3,4 & 5 are Wholesale prices--'AS IS'.
OK Don, that being said here we go:
<<DON>> Correct me if I am wrong, but this looks like a 1950/51 Seeburg Model M100B/Bl and not a M1006?
