I would love one of these, but chances of finding one is slim, probably, around these woods. A guy in Houston retores them , staring at $850. Ouch.
Request - do you have a video of this operating or any known links of this very cool "jukebox" in operation? I would really love to hear and see it in operation. Thank you!

I don't know of any videos as of yet, but when I get a chance, I will make a video of one of mine and post it.
I see them every now and then. I know there were a couple on Ebay for a while, but they wanted over $1,000 each for them. I paid $200 for my first one about 3-4 years ago. Shortly after that, there was one on Craigslist here for $100. I should have bought it, but didn't. There was another on here, but it was a different cabinet style and it had been painted. I think the guy wanted $500 for it. That was too much. Then I just found the one I posted last week. I'm happy with it.
At an antique store in Long Beach, there was one. It was the design that didn't have the amp with it. It was intended to hook up to an external amp. No speakers either. It was just the center part with the doors/changer unit. They wanted $300 for that one.
