Question
I am considering purchasing an AMI "I" model juke box with 120 or perhaps 200 selections. Can you give me an estimate of the value for the various "grades" that I observed in one of your other AMI/Rowe
answers.  Thanks very much  Don Jones

Answer
Hi Don,

I could help you much more by sending you some information I have on how to grade your machine and then you can find the information as to value under the grade. If you don't mind... Write me at jackpot7@q.com with this request and I'll attached it to your email and return it to you. I know you will find this information that I have, very helpful to you. If you do not want to email me personally, let me know, and I'll give you some idea, a general value here OK?

Thank You

Sincerely

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!
