Question
I recently purchased a Wurilzer 61 table top juke box, with 10 records, 12 metal discs, needle and arm fine. Red on front good condition. Could you give me a approximate value. Thanks, Linda

Answer
Model 61, made in 1938-39, 12 selections, grades 1 and two re retail prices, (grade 1 Restored: This is perfect, like new, mint jukebox and look original value is $4,600.00) Grade 2 Refurbished, nice looking jukebox, ready to plug and play value is $4,00.00. Grades 3-4-5 are dealer prices for boxes needing work grade 3 1,600.00, grade 4 600.00, and grade 5 500.00 and again these last grades are what dealers pay for broken down non working 61's. NICE BOX! sorry I was late in answering you, trying to get this Christmas stuff done before it's to late and I haven't been around the computer. Merry Christmas to 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!
