I did almost the same thing last weekend...but I didn't have to ship.
I bid on a Seeburg DS-160 in Dublin that was going too cheap...got it 
for $560 (and there was a dollar in coins in the money-box, so $559!).
It was very clean inside and out, but the mechanism had sat for a while
and the lube gummed up...the tonearm wouldn't shift from side to side.
Got that working now, and the credit system seems to be working again,
although it had blown fuses, so I'm watching that.  I may need to get
involved in the selection system next, it isn't selecting above the "C"
selections at the moment...stay tuned!

Sounds like a nice little box, hope it is what you expect when you get it.
