Question
My father has a Rowe 1962 full Bar Size Juke box he would like to sell. He does not have the key and it needs to be re-set. How much would this be worth?
It plays 45's and we have 45's to go with it.

Answer
Hi Elizabeth,

If it was made in 1962 then it is the Continental II model and value is around 1,200.00 to 1,400.00 on average. If you would write me at Jackpot7@q.com I'll attach and return your email with grading information and values for this jukebox machine. This would be very helpful on figuring out it's real value as I can not see the condition of the jukebox. Also here is a contract for help with a key for this jukebox:

LOCKS & KEY, Problems:
For Mills, and other slots, for lock or keys and lock work,  jukebox keys, arcade keys, a good source is:

A lot of jukebox models used a master key set so you may get lucky there. If they do, this lock guy will know about it and have them. I hope I have been able to help you, and if you email me I'll get you all the information for finding this jukebox's true value OK?

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!
