   People have different needs for a jukebox. 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.  Norm
