Hey guys I’m looking to join the club, I’ve always wanted a nice jukebox preferably from the 50s-60s but I know absolutely nothing about them. I’ve always liked the looks of the Seeburgs/Wurlitzers from that era... are there any specific models anyone would recommend for playability/serviceability for someone like me who hasn’t worked on one before? If there is anyone in the NC/SC region that has anything they would like to sell please let me know thanks.
Ok I need some experts, I’ve found a Seeburg v200..which I think looks beautiful. What should I look out for if I go check it out and what is an appropriate price range. It looks to be in great shape.
Quoted from Oldgoat:It's a very nice box, visible mechanism and holds 100 records. I have one of the Wurlitzer comparable models (2150 the 2100 being the fancy version) with the visible mechanism and 100 record capacity. The Seeburg and the Wurlitzer 2100 tend to be highly desireable and, therefore, very pricey. I'm not that familiar with the Seeburg's abd there is somewhat of a Ford/Chevy kinda thing between the two brands. If you cut through that, it seems like the Wurlitzers are over-engineered (built like tanks, not to say the Seeburgs are fragile) while the Seeburgs sound is better (again, not to say the Wurlitzer is poor). Your best bet is to get on the Phonoland.com facebook page. There are several Seeburg experts on there that can tell you specifically what to look for.
Thanks man I’ve actually had someone reach out to me to help me out on what to look for etc. great community here...I think I’ll be joining the club within the week! I’ll post some pics shortly after.
Ok so my deal fell through so I’m still looking for a nice original 50s era jukebox. I’m fairly open to most models but if you have something for sale in the south East let me know!
