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

[Jjmscf at aol.com]

How about a Rowe jukebox?Roewes are very reliable jukes,much more so than a  
Wurlitzer statesman.I don't know if Dover,De is too far for you but there's a  
working R85 on ebay now.I know the seller and he's a good guy to deal 
with.The  Rockola 490 came from him and I got over 2000 records from him also.That  
was a very sweet deal.Lots of goodies in there.
