Thinking of getting a juke...

[Hoppy2021]

Don't know. That's a pretty good price if you just want a machine to play music, but IMO those 80s/90s jukeboxes lack style. Don't know why. The Seeburgs of that era sounded great but they looked like beer coolers. This one looks to me like a very large 90s Simon says toy (no offense). Maybe it's all the plastic.

Some guy will buy a shitty 60-1 cuz it looks cool maybe? Or it invokes some sense of nostalgia? Don't know any better? Arcade games might be nice, but jukeboxes are *very* niche.

The NSM Performer Grand has some style for a CD box. Classy lines and colour. Visible cd changer/mech. Sounds great too.

New pickup, works but I get no sound.

Wow a KD200! That's a good find. No sound, probably bad amp. You can pull that out, and while you're working on it, stick in a phono preamp and receiver and hook that back into the speakers if you really want sound now.

I had both a Rowe R92 (45) and CD-100 jukebox at my bar. Both sounded great, but the CD-100 was way easier to work on. I ended up getting a late 90s Rowe bubbler jukebox for my basement and don't regret it for a second.

For 45's I prefer Seeburg Selectomatic due to the mech moving to the record rather than the carousel being in constant motion. I think NSM had a similar mech late in the vinyl era.

If you want simplicity, get a libary unit.

Seeing Phetishboy's Rockola 470 in the Galaxy Blue Arcade is the sole biggest reason I decided to build my own in-home arcade. True story. What a fucking GREAT looking machine.

Are the Rowe Cd100 series easy to repair, get parts for?
What should I look for when buying and how much should I pay?

I would recommend the rowe cd 100s because operators like me have a TON of old parts laying around and they just made so many. They were also very reliable imo compared to nsm etc. also DO NOT buy later models with vertical up and down pages H J K Saturns, one with horizontal pages C D E models. The latter was nice because it was easier to read the slections standing up but if the pages fail they are a NIGHTMARE to realign, trust me ive rebuilt them 100 times and every time i wanted to pull my hair out lol.
