Hello everyone,
I'm Tony, I'm new here. This forum was highly recommended to me on Pinside.com. It's a pinball forum I'm a member of. I'm looking for my first jukebox restoration project and I think I might have found the right one. I was hoping I could get some good advice before I pulled the trigger. What I'm looking at is a Wurlitzer 2610. It's in fair working condition and priced at $350. I think it's a steal but I'm not sure about a few things. Most importantly is this a model I'm going to be able to find parts for? Other questions I have are, is this a desirable model? What's the value of this JB in fair working condition and what's the value in restored condition. Is there tech data available for this unit? Who's the best source for parts? What's the quality of this JB? Does it sound good? Reliable? Any other info you think might be relivent to a newbie would be appreciated also. Thanks for putting up with the huge string of questions. It's nice to know there's a place I can come to with a pool of experience and wisdom like this.

Hi,
The 2610 would be a 1962, 100 selection model. As for "value" I would say $1k is max for that model, but that is only my opinion--
Manuals and parts are somewhat easy to obtain--see the announcements section above--"where to buy--" Once "up to speed", it should be as reliable as any other WurliTzer of the approximate same age.
