[Jukebox-list] Re: huge juke warehouse find...

[Wesley Dean]

    It will be interesting to watch the outcome of this find. Now in this 
country most whom are interested in old jukes are the 'junkies' that are now 
involved in a depressed market and look for the low priced so-called 
bargains in the under $500.00 price range. They are prone to over simplify 
the problems involved in repairing these later model wonders that lean 
heavily on the state of the art at the time of manufacture. Even now this 
technology is fast becoming obsolete. This has caused the earlier technology 
of electro mechanical to now command premium prices because this art is more 
straight forward and easier to understand than later types. There will 
always be the select few that appreciates the problem and has the 
wherewithal to indulge in the hobby. Wes
