[Jukebox-list] trade-in for a 200 select?

[Ron Rich]

Jackie,
  I would suggest that you don't buy the juke on "Craig's list", or  Ebay. First of all, MANY juke models are advertised as "Happy daze" machines. I suggest that you would be better off finding a reputable person in the business of restoring and reselling jukes. You MAY pay a bit more for the box, but it will function correctly (not "almost all selections play-just minor adjustments need to be made"), and should be well worth the little bit extra.
  Also keep in mind that most of the "Happy Daze" boxes shown on that program, were "100 selection" machines.
  I have been called to "adjust" many "Craig's list/Ebay" machines--usually winds up in MAJOR amount of work--ie:  Big $$$$$$$$$$$!!!!
  I suggest that you invest in a ref book such as "The Always Jukin --guide to Jukeboxes" (avail. at www.alwaysjukin.com ), and get an idea of the make/model, and price range, you like--then "look for it".

  Don,
my husband is from Chadam Ont. and went to school in Toronto. We have 
considered a move many times......me, being an U.S.Army Brat, loves this 
land and just can't make the move...............I know!, Wes and Ron can 
move to Maryland!!! I really think I am going to save up for another 
machine. I found a beautiful Juke on Craigs list for $3500, the "Happy 
Days" Juke. Now, that would be worth saving up for. :)
