Seeburg "J" 1955. 100 Selections from 50 records. Not as valuable as the "R" from that same period, but a simpler, more rugged grill means less cost for restoration.

Doug, E-bay seems to be currency for the price ranges on machines these days. Be sure to look for both completed" and "sold" listings.

FWIW: I paid $300 for a good original in March 1986. At that point Seeburgs were regarded as "rec-room machines" and didn't sell for the high prices of the 78rpm machines. As the generation that remembers 78's leaves the scene, the 45 machines went up in value, but that too seems to have peaked.

It's a "Johnny Cash model--"One piece at a time"
Got mostly a J or JL model cabinet, but an R model mechanism-- never a high demand cabinet model--
