[Jukebox-list] Do I want this?

[Jimmy Day]

John -

The 1450 is a pretty nice machine.  I restored a 1400, (which is basically 
the same), and it is played every day and works and sounds great.  A few 
points -

For $2000 - it better be in Really good condition.  No cracked pilasters, 
good dome.  Back cover in place.  WORKING coin equipment.  If it has a 
stepper I'll buy it from you ;-)

Good cobras (2 mil or 3-mil), rebuilt amp.  If it still has the original 
field-coil speaker that is a plus, although the manual lists a PM speaker as 
an option.

They have the three-point caster system, and so are tricky to move (but easy 
to level!).

And, in "my opinion" - these machines were best left on 78 rpm.  If it was 
converted to 45 rpm, you will be stuck with grinding your records with that 
1-mil green cobra tracking at 12 grams.

If you want it, buy it!  We only go around once in life, unlike a phonograph 
record.

Well.

Sorry, that WAS a bit lame...
