I work with a business which does jukebox repair...we have done just about all of the Wurlitzers from the 1100-3600 plus a lot of Rockolas and a few Seeburgs and Rowes. We are now working on an AMI Continental 2.

The ones I own are a Rockola 456 console style, A Seeburg LS-2 plus an early 50's Rockola model 1438 which still needs repair. At our shop we have a Rowe MM-5 and an AMI JAK-200.

At the auction where I bought my Rockola 456 there were a lot of Rockola Sybaris's and early 70's Seeburgs selling for $10.00 each. I would have bought more but I didn't have the truck or trailer at the time.

I have always liked jukeboxes...for one thing they are built to be commercial duty for constant operation and built to be repaired unlike a lot of consumer equipment.

On several of the Wurlitzers we have done an upgrade from a Cobra or ceramic cartridge to a magnetic and got a great improvement in sound quality.
