When I get a call on a juke box my       1st question to them is what records do they want to play. 45s or 78s       records. Then my next question is do you want the old look where you can see       the records or do you want        just a good looking and great sounding jukebox. Price for the older jukeboxes       I usually tell them to find an older ami. They sound just as good as the       seeburgs, wurlitzers, rockola if there tuned up properly. If they just want a       jukebox to play I        recommend the Ami R-86----88 series. Great sound and low cost. I also tell       them to make sure you by what ever jukebox you want for a person who works on       them ( which is hard to find ) and if they get a solid state machine have       the battery remotely        installed. I have found that the batteries can leak and will destroy the       boards. So in regards to your question it depends if you just want the looks       or a great sound. Just my 2 cents worth.
