AMI D

I think it looks pretty cool. does the bottom light up? Maybe they'll throw in the toys along the side as a bonus!
Personally I'd find out what the fix is and roughly what the cost may be from a Juke Parts vendor then use that to negotiate... if you could get it down a bit I'd probably go for it, but again I have no will power '>

I like the Seeburg better than the AMI.

See thats the thing... I like Seeburgs better also, but I wasn't going to choose between the 2, but rather add another..  '>  I do think I'll pass on it right now. I just don't have the time to get it, and my lifting helper are out of commission  right now... I don't think I'd feel comfortable with any of my other buddies bringing machines up or down stairs..


I want a machine in this style with the big glass top, but my wallet won't let my buy a Happy Days box... I saw an ad somewhere that the bottom does light up in colors.

I have never worked on a jukebox in my life but if it were blowing a fuse I would disconnect components until the problem was isolated.   $400.00 seems to be on the low end of the price scale isn't it?  
      I say buy it, fix the problem, then sell it and split the profit with your wife to keep her on our side  '>

I have to agee too, the price for the AMI, eventhough these aren't hign in demand, is very reasonable ! ! !  I prefer boxes with visible record mechs eventhough your Seeburg does have a visible mechanisim, I just think the AMI has a little more character, but that's me...
As far as the bottom plastics lighting up, I cannot remember, but being from this era, I would think they would...
I say buy it, $400 is a good buy ! ! !

I don't think I would buy a juke without a visible mechanism... The Seeburg is more of a memory for me.. My father has the same one, and I grew up looking at it and playing with it.. I do like the look of that AMI box, but I don't think I can do it right now..  Out of curiosity, any idea what the weight is on this unit? Its gotta come up out of a basement.

The AMI D weighs either 238 lbs. for the D40 and 265 lbs. for the D80. AMI aren't bad machines. Like everyone else has said that model doesn't have the same resale as a Seeburg or Wurlitzer of the same year.

Does it blow the fuse when the machine is first powered up or when you attempt to play a selection?
