[Jukebox-list] Did the big no-no.

[Mechanical Music of S.F.]

Hi kids.
Well, I did what so many of us have done in the past and regretted, but I 
bought a non working jukebox, sight-unseen, that's being shipped all the way 
across the country.
Seeburg SE100 Golden Jet (1970).  Estimated production about 2,300.
Not quite as rare as the S100 Jet (1968) at only 400 thought to have been 
built...

Anyway,  Paid $76 for it, and $390 to ship it.  It's not even that pretty, 
but they are very tiny but well proportioned and I've alsways wanted one.  I 
looked at one when I was about 17, but that was pre internet and I didn't 
know what to do to fix it.  It was nice, but for the $400 the guy wanted for 
it at the time, I passed.  1987 or 88, teenager on a budget, you know....
Still, it could have been my first juke, so maybe that's why I've always 
kept an eye open for one.

Broken link?   Item number  250045271390

The justification?  I have $400 in rolled up quarters from the Rock-Ola 474 
I have on location.

Now normally I wouldn't splurge real dollars on a possible junker, but this 
model's fairly simple and because of space constraints of living in an 
apartment in San Francisco with another person, I may finally have a jukebox 
in the house.

Anyone know of any known problems these machines have?
