Hi guys,
Someone in the same town as me is selling a wurlitzer juke.. all they said is it's from somewhere between between the 60's and 70's.
They don't have pics, but I wanted to know what a fair price is for if I do go and look at it ?
I'm going to ask if they'll take my cornelius squaretop as a straight swap, or at least a part payment.. (I fixed it but I can't get rid of the thing !!)
Chris

Even a ballpark figure would help.. (e.g. $200, $300, etc)

He's got to give you a model number to search on, we can all give you a ball park figure, but as the Doctor said, there's nothing to go on.
I'd pay 1000 for a cool looking restored 60's juke, big fins, lotsa chrome, loaded with 45's visible player, etc, but having come of age in the 70's, you would have to pay me for to take one of those machines.
Does it work? Parts cracked or faded or missing? I'd take a look at it, then ask to make an offer if you're interested when you have time to search a little more on the model.
Or offer $200

I agree model number and condition mean everything ... there are some pretty ugly beasts out there from the 60's - 70's that I wouldn't even take for free!

I will see if I can get a model number then.. I guess it would be a little much to ask if I could take photos and think about it.. (might think I plan to break in or something !)
The impression I get is it's someone in the same position as me.. and it's sitting in a garage collecting dust..

I would think it would be acceptable to tell the guy, hey I don't know much about these and I have some friends I'd like to consult with to help me make an informed decision on whether or not to buy the Juke. As far as pictures, if a model number is not available I'd say it's ok to ask.
All in all it always comes down to desire, if it's cool looking and you WANT it, you'll know in your head what your budget is so you'll most likely make the right deal. But if your looking to buy and resell, then you'll want all the info you can collect before buying.
Good luck!  '>

Asking for the model number is definitely a good thing. There's nothing wrong with being fully informed. Pic's would help, but aren't absolutely neccesary.
I agree with the others on the "looks" of a lot of the 60's-70's jukes....There are a few that look ok. Just my opinion.

Hope he doesn't know what he has and it's a sweet 50s/early 60s for you! Good Luck!
