Value of a 1953 Wurlitzer Model 1550 Jukebox?

I would appreciate an estimate for this jukebox. It is in perfect working condition.

Thank you.

Do you have a photo? You say it is working, but there are a bunch of other things collectors look for. What records does it come with? Do they work? Do you have the manual? Is it coin op or converted? What kind of plug does it have (original or replacement)? Is the glass all intact? Do you have the book? The more it is to original, the more it is worth.

If this is yours (see this sold auction) it sold for $650 recently:

It had some issues so if yours is in better shape and has more of the original things listed above AND you are in place where this particular model is in HIGH demand, you could fetch more. If you are in a place where these are a dime a dozen, you will fetch less.

Jukes are a supply and demand item--we have tons of them in Pittsburgh, so they are always cheaper than in other cities where there are just a few around.

Selling these on your own can be a huge hassle as they are heavy and fragile and the person getting it needs to be prepared to move it safely. I have heard horror stories from friends who have estate sale companies of DIY pick ups of jukes where they did things like smash the glass on the way out the door and demanded a refund for broken glass and worse, didn't secure it in a truck well enough and it shifted and went a** over teacups in the truck causing irrevocable damage.

These are best left sold through a pro (dealer or store) who can safely deliver it and keep it safe!

Post back if you sell and the amount! I love learning values in other parts of the country! Thanks for sharing!
