Note that this machine is in nice shape for the age and appears to be all original as far as we can tell. Look at the finish, sides, amp, etc. Note that this machine was converted to 45s.
The dome and lower diffusers are original and crack free. They are also not yellowed like many you see. The sides and finish are exceptional considering they are original. The photos do a great job documenting the condition. We could not find any reproduction parts on this box. Note the beautiful mural on the rear door, and the phenomenal shape of the foil. The mech shelf edges are a bit rough as you can see in the photos.
Note that we do not know what shape the caps and tubes in the amp are in. The jukebox does play and select. Mechanically, it is in good shape but probably should be lubed up as it has been sitting. We also know the cashbox and housing are missing and the color wheel motors. These and any other small pieces missing are available at Victory Glass in Waukee, IA.
In short, this is a phenomenal original and would make a great addition to the collection. You would be hard pressed to find a nicer jukebox for the money and when you look at the age. Best of all, there is NO RESERVE. We will let the market determine the value on this RARE piece. Best of luck in the auction.
Because of it’s age and the above, it is sold strictly as-is-as shown. That being said, please see my feedback and bid with confidence. If you have not owned a jukebox before, these are not CD players, and being 50 years old can be temperamental and are not meant for continuous use all day long. These are meant for occasional use and not for continuous or bar usage. In addition, there are scrapes and scuffs on the box as you can see in the photos. The good news is that they reproduce most of the jukebox in the event of a problem, and there are many people that repair them. The most likely time of trouble is when they are moved. This example would make a great addition to anyone’s rec room, bar room, media room, or arcade.
