I have not seen this exact model on eBay, but the cheapest AMI is $500, and some are almost $2000.

This works kind of. It plays and sounds good, but sometimes you can't choose what you want it to play. What might this be worth and are there ways to get this checked out and repaired?

I live in the Pacific Northwest and we have a lot of jukebox aficionados here that repair/restore machines. Sometimes you'll find that people that work on pinball machines and older stereo's also are qualified.

One worker mentions: check the "Selector Indicator Switch. If it's dirty and/or bent, it's an easy fix to cleaning and straighten."

I'm not sure. Might be a fuse actually? Here's a site where you can purchase and download jukebox maintenance and repair manuals (pdf format) for around $15 USD; yours is a "Romantica (1982)".

If the jukebox is in mint condition and is still working a lot of people are willing to pay 350 to 1500 dollars for a jukebox like this. It would be nice to see the photo of your jukebox, this way we can search for ones like yours that have been sold in the last few months.

The selling price is what will really determine how much yours is worth. Plus do you have the records for your jukebox? This can also increase the value of your jukebox.

I found one listed on eBay for 741 euros that is not working. Normally most people make around $350 to $500 for a jukebox but there are some that do sell for a much higher value. You would need to find one that has sold recently in order to determine the real value of your item.

This prices gives you an idea of what a person is asking for one that is not working. I am sure if yours is working the value can be around the same if you can find a person willing to pay that much for the jukebox.

I have seen this listed as high as $600, but that was in the past. The European market for this is a bit different as the US market simply because of where it was manufactured, and where is it likely to still be operational, or where found more frequently. As this is an American product, i would expect it to be harder to find, hence more valuable, in Europe www.pinballrebel.com/.../afeat.htm

It is not working, but is 100% intact and clean. Thank you for your time.

If it's not working, it won't be worth that much. You could get several thousand if it is, so it may pay for you to restore it.

There are quite a few of this model listed for sale but not much history on sold machines so value will be difficult.
The only sold machine that I could find was sold (no date) for EUR 1,600.

You may be able to find something online but all of the info that I have is within the US so that will not help you very much.
This link has a lot of information.

I have seen several modes of the AMI jukebox for sale online and the asking price is quite expensive. Keep in mind people can ask whatever they want for the item but the true value is when the item has been sold. Here is one that is listed JUKE BOX AMI Model N Diplomat JAN 220 V 100 disks=200songs and the person is asking that is approximately $8000 for the item. It has been listed for some time now and has not sold. The prices for this manufacture range from $900 all the way to $19,000.

I do believe your best bet to sell this is in your own local area because shipping this heavy item off is quite expensive and will really increase how much the buyer pays for it. I would like to suggest that you speak to a speciality shop in your area that handles antique radios, steros and jukeboxes and see how much they are selling for around you. Then you can determine how much a person in your area is willing to pay for such an item.

On eBay, you can do an "advanced search" where you type in the item and check "sold listings" and you can get an idea of how much similar jukebox sold for.

  • Example #1: Non Working Rowe-AMI MMCD-1 Jukebox Project/Parts Sold for $99.99
  • Example #2: Rowe ami MM1 jukebox Sold for $270
  • Example #3: Jukebox Rowe AMI R87 200 sold for $280

We need more info to research prices. Is it an older one from the 50's that plays vinyl or a newer one that plays CD or even newer yet that plays music videos. Is it a full sized one or a floor one? All this plays into the price.
