Westinghouse 42-t

That looks to be a well cared for machine and, if it is the original paint, I imagine just as nice inside.
When the "book" value says $675 in "average" condition, there are several factors to consider:
1. The "book" was printed in 1999, which is 7 years ago. While the Internet and eBay were definately around then, both have had a HUGE impact on the collectors market.
2. "Average" condition is described as a machine that will need painting before the wife will let you put it in the house...a machine that is 95% complete (might be missing the cap catcher or coin box or something small)...the machine should run, but may not get cold...it should have little or no rust and just dings - no large dents.
Obviously a machine that is a very nice, complete original in working order (cools and vends) will bring a higher price that the $675.

Thanks for all the advice on this one... I agree it's in real nice shape, no need to restore as I like them to look a little "used" and not out of a museum. The innards are all there, it vends and cools, I saw no rust through on the tray or sides, obiously just a good cleaning would all it would really need.  I'll make an offer today on it and see what happens... The guy also has two Seeburg Trashcans, one 90% complete and one shell that he might through in on the deal... ANyone interested in Seeburg Trashcan Jukes?  He also has a Seeburg R that I'm working on him on but he wants 2500 for it and it currently doesn't select. We'll see... I may do a package deal on everything..

Hey John - what's a Seeburg Trashcan Juke?

[audiobeer]

It's a Seeburg!

That's cool... I've always liked jukes but always had the big Wurlitzer's in mind.  All the talk here about the other types has me liking them better... More character.  So what's a trashcan go for?

Back to the Trashcan Talk... Markito just picked up two of them fo 600! Both need work.. I 've seen them from 800 - 2500
I know of one more locally for $1800 and it lights up, but does'nt select...
