So I need Help Can I help you move it to my house...?  From the front, it appears to be a nice original; how's the rest of the cabinet and internals...? I think it's a fair price; especially for a working juke. I would still check things thoroughly just in case something pops up... |

If it's complete and working, I'd say 1200 is a fair market price for one..
I paid 1500 for Seeburg G all original, many years ago.. so I'd say you did just fine.

Thanks Guys !! The Window Was Small to Jump on it But I did talk to the Owner & I'll view it to Night .He has owned it for the Past 30 Years. He Stated That Outside of a paint chip on the record player, it has a 2" chip in the plastic on the left side as you look at it.
So If It Nice What The Value ? Even Though I think That s a Good Price .I realy Don't Follow them Much Execpt For You Guys That Have them Here

1200 is a good price, the W is a mono, Stereo didn't come out until 1959, and it's sister, the G was high Fidelity.
The front bezels ( the quilt pattern) should light up also. Make sure the chrome isn't heavily pitted, the formica looks good, no rot in the wood, etc.

So Kilroy
As Long As that All In Good Shape ? I'd be doing Well .This would my first Juke Box .And I'm pretty sure I wouldn't sell it in the near Future BUT !! Since it's Mono (One Speaker Correct ? ) I might Want To Up grade to Stereo Later . And I like To At Least get my money Back .

You will be amazed at the sound quality Len, that one speaker kicks it out, and the amp isn't going to produce stero sound, so yes you could add external speakers, but i wouldn't alter the box itself.
It cost me a little over 600 to rechrome my G, and $200 for the aluminum trim to be reannodized. But the machine sat in a humid storage shed for years.
