Question
My father-in-law owns a Seeburg Apollo LS325 jukebox, and he was wondering what the approximate value of this would be.  It is still working and is in good condition.


Answer
Hi Kristin,

    You came to the right place! His juke box, the LS3 Apollo was made in 1970, has 160 selections, 45 r.p.m., and has a New "Telephone Type Selector Panel" Midrange & tweeters 'At Ear Level!'. Total production was 7,700 units, of which he has one of those. Value guide as of 2005 was in good working condition as your is, value is $550.00. Restored value, I mean this would have to be better then new is $1.2000.00. Anything less then these two conditions the value would be between $50.00 and $150.00. How is that for information? If you need a slot machine to go with the jukebox give me a ring or drop me a line. Please give me feedback at all experts if you would, and if I have helped you, thank you!

Thanks for writing Kristin.........

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!
