Question
Dear Rodger.  I am doing some research for a friend who is selling his antiques and collectibles.  He has a United Music Corporation jukebox in good working condition, model#UPB100, serial# 10549.  Can you give me any information on it or direct me to any other reference materials?  Any help would be much appreciated.

Answer
Hi Tamara,

I had this same question a few years back and to find this question and answer I searched for it using the find button on top here. This was my response to the same question on the same model as you have:

Answer
Hi Tim

The UPA-100 was built in 1957 to and in 1958, 100 selections, designed by Raymond Lowery, the UPD model is vary rare but even if it was that model the value is listed the same. The value guide, the latest being 2006 lists your model in three grades, grade 2's value is Restored, this is perfect $2,000.00. Grade 3's value is As Is Good $1,00.00 and grade 4 is As Is Poor $500.00.
This should get you up to date on all your questions and I hope this helps!
Thank You
Sincerely
Rodger Knutson

Now we will go to your model UPB-100 and talk about it:

The UPB-100 was made from 1958 to 1959,

the latest being 2010 lists your model in three grades, grade 1's value is Restored, this is perfect $2,000.00. Grade 2's value is As Is Good $1,00.00 and grade 3 is As Is Poor $500.00. So as you see the values are listed the same now in 2010-11 as back in 2006 when I answered someone's question about the Model UPA-100.

As for where to find paper, manuals, and information about this juke is another question and one that you would have to find who has it, as your looking for just information on this model. I can give you some links that should provide you with some or all of that and I will, see the links below:
