   shape.  Any ideas what it's worth?   
      
   Three things that I believe set the tone for value.  Condition,    
   ondition....and....Condition.  An electrically restored and mechanically   
   operational box will command more $$ than barn finds.  The era of the machine   
   also heavily influences value.  IMHO...   
   70' machines....regardless of maker are not big $ ticket items.  The lack of   
   mechanism visibility and the integration of more computerized components make   
   these $$$ to repair...if possible....and finding the repair parts in the first   
   place.   
      
   I would expect a machine in the condition you describe to be valued at $150 or   
   less. Maybe $200 if I could do all the work myself and it was a complete box   
   to begin with. This era of boxes just don't have the collect-ability of the   
   50s and early 60s    
   jukeboxes.  Bad thing is it will probably take $300 worth of work to get it   
   into electrically and mechanically good condition.  In shopped out   
   state....electronics all updated, repaired, cleaned, oiled, making every   
   selection, sounding good, lights all    
   working....this is about a $550 machine. a guy could be into this machine for   
   what realistic retail value is. Someone will be looking specifically for that   
   70s disco vibe to go much higher that that.   
      
   Definitely a hobby that is a labor of love....and not one to make money on.    
   So...everything above this is only 1 guys opinion.  I have saved a couple of   
   turd boxes...because I love jukeboxes and the challenge to make them great   
   again.  Good luck with    
   yours!
