It's a Sound & Leisure, Mardi Gras, manufactured between 1990 and 1993.

Here's another on eBay at less than half his starting price. No takers either and less than a day to go.

I appreciate the time you took to highlight our site Rob. Obviously I'm not an expert on such things, maybe you would be willing to take the time to explain to us ignorant folk what would make the listing more realistic and less of an "Ebay Hopeful"
Is the price too high in your opinion? What is a realistic price?
Thanks in advance for your wisdom and expertise.

Sure. I'll give you a template-form. Remarks in brackets are not to be included in copy.

1951 AMI D40 jukebox. Older restoration. Converted for 45 rpm records. The machine in not working, but nothing appears burned or broken [if true]. There appears to be a minor problem with one color cylinder on one side of the front grille.

No cracks or stains on the grill or glass-plastics. [if true]

No amplifier. The original amp is a model DD. [these turn up on E-Bay regularly]. Other amplifiers that have an input for a ceramic pickup my be substituted.

----------------------------------------

It would be helpful if you included shots of both the rear inside and mechanism of the machine.

Leave out the line about using it in your shop. It sounds disingenuous if you are offering it for sale.

These are among the least desirable of the 1950s machines The asking price would be more realistic if the machine is working and includes a suitable amp.

I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone. I did manage to sell the juke for what I needed and I appreciate everyone's feedback and so on.

I had to smile when I saw the start price for this!

£2,800? (For the "Colonials," that's just short of $4,400)

Give us a break!

They're coming thick and fast today!
It amused me that there was more about his "wonderful feedback" than the jukebox on offer.

"Taken from a recent house clearance, we were told it was all working fine before a power supply blew, "

I mean have you seen the state of this?

Best this year.

This is the equivalent of $7,807.00

Must be that "new amplifier", that makes it that expensive ? Ron Rich

I seen the same model up for sale locally at 1500 euro and it hadn't even the power supply/amplifier unit in, more like 30 euro for spare parts

I e-mailed the vendor of the Rock-Ola 464 (the one on offer at £2,800) and asked them had they made a mistake over the starting price.
The vendor was a girl and she confided that she knew it wouldn't sell, but she said her boyfriend was going to move in with her and asked her to get rid of it.

One way of hanging on to it I s'ppose.

I seen that Rockola as well, thought to myself it was well over priced, maybe in about 30 years might be worth that

Do not seem to be able to find that Wurlitzer in Always Jukin' Pocket Guide, any idea what year and model number?

by **Ron Rich** » Tue Dec 23, 2014 2:33 am

Darrell,
It's a "rare model"- also, it's German built model, that was not sold in the USA--

Ron

That explains it. I do not think that model is one of Wurlitzer's finest, at least in my eyes. That 1956 model that was picked up looked nice.

Best
Darrell
