Used Jukebox

Looking to get a hold of a used jukebox?  These days jukeboxes aren’t really sold in the traditional large upright, CD changing variety, if they’re sold, it’s usually as a novelty and they are small tabletop replicas of the larger units from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s.  If you really want one of the old-school ones, you’re going to have to look into buying a used jukebox.  A used jukebox may not be as glamorous as a brand spanking new one, but in this day and age, it’s all you can hope for.

So where should you go to find yourself a used jukebox?  Well, you don’t have many options open to you, this is pretty much it:

1.  8 Track Shack

8 Track Shack is a website on which you can purchase a lot of vintage material.  You can pick up cassette tapes, vinyl records, Edison diamond disc records, wax cylinder records and of course you can also find a used jukebox over here.

Right now there is the “Rowe R-86 Jukebox - 100 Early 1990's” and “Rock-Ola 448 Jukebox” available.  These 2 jukeboxes right now are being sold for around $300 here.  The thing is that these are being sold for parts or repair purposes as the condition of the device is in question, so if you do pick any of these up, chances are they’re not going to work right out of the box.

2.  eCrater

Another online site to check out is eCrater(dot com), this site right now has a “SEEBURG SCD-1 LASER MUSIC JUKEBOX”  which holds 60 CD’s.  This is one of the best sounding jukeboxes that Seeburg produced and it is being sold for $495.  If you’re lucky, you might be able to find this or other jukeboxes here if you go and check it out.

3.  EBay

If all else fails though, turn to EBay.  While online sites like the above are definitely an option, when it comes to buying used goods, nothing beats EBay.  I can guarantee that if you go there right now you will find several used jukeboxes on auction that you can start bidding on right now. 

Just be careful when purchasing on EBay as you’re not dealing with EBay, they are the site which allows you to just trade with “Joe Schmo”.  Make sure that the person you’re buying from has a good track record and you should be OK though.

So if you’re looking for a used jukebox, keep these sites in mind, this is pretty much your best chance of getting a hold of some old music memorabilia.
