Question
I have a 1937 wurlitzer jukebox I am thinking on selling.
Had it refinished a few years ago. Looks and plays perfectly. Do you have any idea what it would be worth? It is a model 616 wurlitzer.  thanks

Answer
Hi Bob,

The 616, I had one once and I think it's still showing on my web site at http://www.coinslots.com These were not made with a light kit, but mine had one, as most light kits were added later by some upgrade companies. If you could write me at jackpot7@q.com I'll be Glad to add the value of your jukebox and a guide on how to grade it, to find what it's proper grade is. If you don't want to write, just let me know and I'll give you some kind of value and post it here. It's better if you use this guide as prices and values can very greatly when not knowing the proper grade of the jukebox machine.

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!
