Question
1948 AMI JUKE BOX , WORKING, PLAYS 78'S. GOOD CONDITION     WHAT IS IT WORTH.

Answer
Hi Rose,

Two different models made in 1948, both look different, the Model "A" and the Model "B".

Neat looking juke boxes I think!

Model "A"

in perfect grade 1 condition, down to grade 5 parts box.

Grade 1 $3,500.00
Grade 2 $3,100.00
Grade 3 $1,550.00
Grade 4 $  650.00
Grade 5 $  450.00

Model "B"

Grade 1 $ No value given in 2005 guide.
Grade 2 $2,500.00
Grade 3 $1,200.00
Grade 4 $  550.00
Grade 5 $  330.00

Grades 1 and 2 are retail values in a retail store with delivery and set up, warranty, service and parts.

Grades 3,4,and 5 are wholesale prices that a dealer might offer to buy your jukebox for.

Grade 1 is: restored
Grade 2 is: Refurbished
Grade 3 is: As is good
Grade 4 is: As is poor
Grade 5 is: parts machine

This is your answer hope you like it. I wonder what model you have?
Thank you  Rose

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!
