Price Check: Rock-Ola 1438 Comet

Hi - Sorry, I'm more of a pinball collector but ran into one of these
and they guy wanted to know what it's worth. It's black, in fair
condition, and largely working. Searched the group and couldn't find
much other than doesn't appear to be highly collectible.

thanks

I would say $500.00 in the condition described IF the pilasters are in
undamaged condition.
These were all originally woodgrain with artificial woodgrain paint on the
front metal parts.
These are actually really cool little jukes.
You can buy replacement pilasters but they aren't very close to the
originals (fit good, look just ok).
I usually pick these up pretty cheap and install new pilasters with
aftermarket animation kits to make the juke look MUCH cooler for the casual
home buyer. That way I can get over a grand for them to a non-collector.

I have been getting around $800 for them to dealers in Europe. $500 is
cheap in my opinion.
