Thanks Eric.. I've had to delay looking at it twice ! The first time I had to go out, and today the weather is so bad I'd be lucky to get to the end of the street (blowing snow, winds up to 45Km/h and wind chill of -41C).

Well I saw the juke today.. it's a Wurlitzer 3210 (serial #712941) with around 600 45's... but the asking price is $1500 !!!!! ($1000 for the juke alone)
Needless to say I'm no longer interested.. I had a budget of $300 tops and was going to try opening with an offer of $200...
I should also add they refused to put a record in and let me hear it play, claiming it needed to be re-balanced and wouldn't play.
What's the average value for one of these ?

They where asking $1500 for it and WOULDN"T even play it for you? What does he think he has??? Some people!!!
Personally I just think it's plain old ugly and you couldn't pay me to haul it away!, but I'm more of a 50's era guy.. need chrome and some rounded corners for me to look at it! WOW..can't believe the gall of some people... hopefully you didn't have to drive too far?

One of these people trying to retire on selling one machine I think.. and no, it was like 2 blocks away from me, hence I was so interested..
Waiting to hear if another juke in a neighboring town is still available so I can check that out.. (don't know the make, but it apparently runs, all be it with an external amp.. guess the original is shot)

I have no idea what the city is, but if anyone knows I'd love to find out.
I thought it was way too much $$ for the records.. they wanted the equivelent of 85c per record, yet I see them in salvage stores for a nickel each or 3 for a dime, etc..
I doubt the other people looking at it will bite at that price.. especially considering it would take 4 guys to lift it up the steep basement stairs !!
Can anyone give an idea of an acceptable price range for this era of machine ? eBay doesn't help because it's full of people asking anywhere from $800 - $1500 for simmilar models..

I would say that this machine would go for $250-$400 if it worked (but who knows on ebay!).
It's from 1967 and only holds 50 records (100 selections) so it is not as desirable (the 3200 is a 100 record juke).

That's the price range I was kinda hoping for.. I would've considered $300, but not $1500..
