Question
I have a 1971 Seeburg Jukebox.. it's purple and orange and
it's in the bandshell style, I believe it's called a
Firestar. It's in very good plus condition.. this particular
model does not take dollars, only coins. It holds 80 45's
and I've read that at the time it was one of Seeburgs "new
digital machines." with a solid-state TorMat memory unit
that was a big deal at the time. Here's what it looks like:

Hi Lauren,
The solid state jukebox's just haven't seen collectable status yet, the collector jukes end around 1968. So, the value in yours is for the game room or the person that wants a very good place to store and play their 45's. Value is in the 400.00 to 600.00 range if it is working fine and looks good.
Thank You

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!
