Ok, here's the BIG question!
How much are you willing to spend?
The price difference between a Seeburg model "B", which is somewhat plain,
and a Seeburg model "C", which is the jukebox usually called a "Happy Days"
jukebox (although it NEVER appeared in the show) is quite significant. They
have similar sound and mechs, but the "C" is MUCH flashier.
If you tell us that you have a certain amount that you are willing to spend
we can probably steer you better.
Also, if you can let us know where you are located we might be able to hook
you up with a juke close to you.

An AMI F or G 120 has a pretty small footprint. Mech is simple and
reliable once it's overhauled. Sound is fantastic. Price is reasonable.
The cabinet is actually sort of a horn enclosure. You would need to
upgrade the cartridge if you're playing stereo records.

I don't own an AMI F or G but I'd like one.

Hello,
I'm a newbie to jukeboxes but a longtime EM pinball guy. I want to
pick up a machine that plays 45's to restore for my home arcade and
need advice from experts on what maker and model would be a good
direction. I also understand vacuum tubes (I'm 50 and helped my Dad
repair our TV's when I was a kid). I'd like a machine anywhere from
the 50's to 70's that is not overly complicated to repair and is
reliable once I'm done with it. Also wouldn't mind being able to see
the records playing but not a requirement. I guess it would be nice
too if parts were readily available and not overly expensive. Oh, and
it would be good if it could go down some basement stairs that make a
180 degree turn.

I realize I've just thrown out a really broad range and I'm even
laughing at myself for what I've put down. So feel free to laugh at me
too. Definitely shows my lack of education on jukeboxes.

Anyway, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave
