Well, this was the price in 1997, but if the buyer would have spent
50% more he would have had the same model, grade 1 restored.
But then of course it's nice to do a restoration yourself of course.
Please take a look with me on the inside of this jukebox:
As you can see there's lot's of things missing.
Speakers, the revolving magazine, and when looking at the prior
pictures: glass strips / grilles in front of the speakers, bottom plate turntable,
windows, etc, etc . . .
It looks very dirty, but that's not the most import thing, you will be
able to clean it.
The worst thing is, you'll probably never find the original parts again, they're just not
available anymore. Over the decades there were many people restoring
jukeboxes and they used most parts which you are now probably be
looking for . . .
Such a box can never be returned into mint condition again.
But, if you like to restore a juke just for fun, go ahead. There
are lots of people reproducing the old parts nowadays. And you can use
these instead of the original ones with confidence!
But bear in mind that it's easier have a gripper or turntable motor
overhauled, than to buy another motor!
Please consult this page if you want to find
out about addresses for repro and spare parts !
