I believe that to be a Seeburg C. Pretty common. Fully restored top end is maybe 3K range. Complete original nice condition and working maybe $1000-1500. They seem to come up for sale often. Hope that helps.

Thank you for the replies, guys! I hauled 3 pins out of the basement and it is brutal the way the top of the stairs is setup. I don’t know how the guy got the jukebox down there. He also has a big ball bowler that I would love to get, but I don’t see a possible way of getting it out of the basement either. Anyway, I appreciate the info!
Happy days jukebox (Seeburg C) held 50 records (100 selections). 160/200 selection jukes did not become available until the late 50s.

Yeah, a pinball you can relatively easily disassemble and move in pieces which makes the basement stairs far easier but a jukebox is another animal.
It took three of us to get my jukebox into the basement and we had to take off the stair railing to do it, but my stairs have a U-turn in the middle making it exceptionally challenging. I still wonder how we managed to do it.
i love my jukeboxes ....but u better study up on how to fix them . my friend in atlanta has a saying about guys who can fix them ... “ the guys that can fix those old jukes , are dead or dying “.. i’ve been lucky to keep mine running , by reading manuals and meeting a repair guy near me ..

One thing I notice that's different about pinball and jukebox guys. If you have an issue with a pinball a dozen guys will pitch in and offer advice on how to resolve it. Jukebox guys seem to hold their cards a little closer to their chest. Less forthcoming with their knowledge. I mentioned this to a jukebox friend of mine and he agreed but didn't say why.
Quoted from tullster:Sorry, but no big deal. Standard jukebox stuff. Play ‘em and enjoy.
Will do thanks
Quoted from golfingdad1:Will do thanks
You can go to Discogs and enter in the records to see what they are selling for. Hard to say from the pics, but these look to be in decent condition. I actually have a couple of those in my jukebox right now.
In my experience, the big money ($20 or more) is from newer stuff (2000-2005) where there were very few made as the shift to CD was already complete. And some of the limited (in numbers) foreign releases where they put a great B side with an A side as opposed to the std US and Europe releases where you often have a good A paired with an undesirable B. Since jukebox space is so limited, these can command good $.
I looks like the Beatles 45 with let be has 4 songs on it 2 per side . Never seen that but I dont know anything really.
Quoted from golfingdad1:I looks like the Beatles 45 with let be has 4 songs on it 2 per side . Never seen that but I dont know anything really.
That is one of their EPs. That Let it Be single you posted only looks like a standard 45, with You know my name on the bside.
Quoted from golfingdad1:Anybody interested in the lot ? would have to inventory but im guessing around 40 .
I may be interested in the lot; however it is completely dependent on the titles. If you have played them and can confirm the grade, that makes a big difference on what they are worth. If you haven't played them, you run the risk that the ones you want aren't really playable.
Personally, I would 'inventory' them by simply taking a picture of a half dozen or so at a time, both sides. That way, one can make a somewhat informed guess on condition as well as seeing the titles. (Also, if any have sleeves that are specific to the record, like the picture sleeves, show those. Looks like all will be generic record co sleeves)
I'd be interested in the lot as well but not as collectables. I need a quick way to stuff my Seeburg STD2 with 80 records. Only have about 20 on hand now. I prefer 50's-60's rock n'roll and that seems to be what you have.
Ok,
There are 52 records in total , let me go through and see what they are , bands and songs.
Shipping could be pretty expensive .

Actually shouldn't be that much...probably all fit in a a mid sized USPS flat rate box or you can use media mail with very low rates

I have 3 of them , my first was a 1972 Seeburg olympian SPS160 ( in the living/dinning room ) , the second 1986 Seeburg SCD-1( in the mancave ) and my last purchase is 1963 Seeburg LPC-1( in the work shop waiting for full resto )

Quoted from ToucanF16:Sounds like a destination vacation.
Was actually planning a vacation with a stop there before the end of the world started. Hope I still get to go at some point. Looks like an amazing place.

Way to go indypinhead, you have the worlds best of both worlds in those jukes! Doesn’t great any better

The best part is....
This Rock-Ola is truly a "one of a kind".
Rock-Ola never came out with this particular color. The original buyer paid extra to have this color made so it matched her pool table.
I'm looking for someone that can print title strips for me. I only need 15 done. I have no interest in doing it myself. I'm more than happy to pay for someone's time or let me know if you know of a company or individual that can do this.

Send me a PM. I can, but may take me a few days.
But there are also sites online where you can just type them up yourself.
Thanks, but as I said, I do not want to print these myself. I don't have a color printer. I do have some colored title strips but there's no way I'm getting my laser jet to print them correctly.
In case anyone else is interested, this is an example of the styles I can do. Things left out from this sheet are: 1. Font boldedness; 2. Displaying the label.cat number, and 3. Shading on/off. (Default is body shaded, artist not.)

Quoted from Nihonmasa:On my Wurlizer Americana, the sound is quite bad.
Was told that this amp (556) needs modifications to sound good.
Anyone would know what they are or point me to a document explaining what to do?
Most older amps are at a point where they need to be re-capped if they haven’t been already. I know there used to be places you could get cap kits but its been a while.

I'd reach out to Bill Bickers at Jukebox Friday Night:
http://www.jukeboxfridaynight.com/
He does amp rebuilds and carries a lot of kits to recap amps. I don't see a kit for the 556 listed on his site; however, he may well be able to put one together for you
Joined the owner's club over the weekend.
Homeowner I'm doing some work for had a Gottlieb EM that I fixed a couple weeks ago and asked if I was interested in a jukebox.
Trading some labor for the jukebox. Been in the basement since '94. Hope to get it working and restored but might be quite a challenge.

Cool Jukebox. Did it come with any '78's or spare needles?
Quoted from indypinhead:I picked up a Rowe jukebox yesterday to go along with my Wurlitzer OMT's and Rock-Ola.
First it was toilet paper, now it's jukeboxes. 
Quoted from MrBally:Cool Jukebox. Did it come with any '78's or spare needles?
Only came with the manual and a couple dollars worth of quarters in the coin box.
Looks like it's complete and decent shape. Someone painted it at one point so not sure what's underneath yet.
For anyone that works on these, how difficult are they to get working? I'm pretty good with EM games but not sure how something like this compares.
