How  about a Rowe jukebox?Rowes 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.
