Hello To all, this is myfirst post so go easy on me.

I'm looking at a Seeburg 220, very nice condition he has owned it for 25 years he has gone over it years ago it plays great ,he's also giving me the 2 wall speakers channel 1 & channel 2. Hes's selling it for $2,500.00

What does the Forum say?

Thanks
 
Very cool machine! A little on the pricy side for me personally but if that is what you want.
Since this is your first juke, you're going to need to know about about maintenance and trouble shooting. (Or have a trusted friend to assist you) The older machines tend to need more 'care'

As for price, you'll have to compare with whats out there.
Here's a very clean one that didn't sell on eBay for $3500...

It is really about condition so without seeing the machine it's really hard to say. If it hasn't been done recently you will need to have the amp and selector recapped ($600. or so depending on who does it) and then the mechanism will need to be cleaned and lubed ($200. or so). This doesn't include any other issues that need to be addressed.

If you do in fact need to have the above work done it will be difficult to get your money out of it given what you're considering paying.
