   Arrrgggh....another 1970s era box where the customer couldn't see the   
   inner workings.  Could hold a lot (compared to machines of previous   
   decades) of records, though.  Functional but lacking the elegance of the   
   late '40s through '60s era machines IMHO.  I don't see a huge collector   
   value in your box make/model.  It's a coin-operated record player for   
   sure but where's the accompanying eye-candy (the stuff that enticed   
   earlier generations to drop some coins for reasons other than just to   
   have music on demand)?  Perhaps by the 1970s the novelty had worn off.   
      
   Why not have your box professionally appraised? I would be a potential   
   bidder/buyer if the record carousel and turntable were at least on   
   partial view, but that would require a box mod.  Sincerely,
