Wurlitzer 1700

[zadd]

I'm looking at a non working but complete Wurlitzer 1700 . Just wanted to see what you jukebox guys know about this model and it theres anything I should watch out for . I general mess with the seeburgs .  Thanks

If the plastics and glass are good, cabinet trim intact, I'd go for it. i like the 1700 style,  and  the vertical record mech  makes you want to look for colored vinyl.

No, it's not my juke, but many people aren't familiar with Wurlitzers, let alone the 1700

What would you pay for a non working complete one . The veneer needs redone . The glass and plastic are fine

[Kilroy]

Non working because it may need tubes and  recapping or non working since oh.. the amp is gone?

I'd try to keep it in the 600-700 range, a comparable Seeburg would get more, but as you know collectors seem to prefer the Seeburgs.

I love veneer work on a  Wurlitzer, straight lines, flat surfaces,  makes it an afternoon job as opposed to  sweating over the curves of a Seeburg C or G.

http://oakwoodveneer.com/  is my go to place for the veneer.  A bigger selection than the Lowe's or Home depot will have.

Do you know if it's a 1700 or a 1700HF...?
My first box was a very nice 1700HF (high fidelity) and wish I had not sold it as it sounded very nice and played flawlessly for years. I even went as far to get a stepper and wallbox...
Just make sure it's not missing any components, and as kilroy states, keep the price below $800 since the cabinet needs to be re-veneered...

I am a Seeburg guy but I love the lines on the 1700.  My quest to find one will start today.

Without a few photos, it's difficult to pin down a value...
I'm a little bias towards the 1700 as I had one so, I might go a little higher if everything is there and in decent shape...
Not something that came from So. America; these boxes may be complete but are in terrible condition!

The guy won't budge on 1300 . Think I'll pass and put a few more dollars into my seeburg b
