I just sold both of my rock ola fireball comets last year. They are nice boxes.

Another rare / pricey record I have is the Cole Porter, "Anything Goes". So I know what you mean by the costs of the records! I have had a few jukeboxes in my past and my brother has my Dad's 45 Rock-Ola. Never had a Seeburg or AMI though. Sounds like you are Jukebox kind of a guy - very cool.

Very nice! I recently restored an 1100 for a friend.
I still have a half dozen 50,s seburg and ami boxes. Finally finished restoring a seeburg c after having it in storage for 30 yrs. Other hobbies got in the way!my only 78 rpm box has early rock and roll. I think i have more in the records tha. The box!

I have a few loves, this is my Wurlitzer 1100. It also came to me via my Brother, which originally I was repairing it for him but I ended spending so much time, effort and $$$ on it he ended up gifting it to me for my last birthday.
While it doesn't look "restored to new" it has been operationally restored to new. I only replaced / repaired what was required because I enjoy the "aged look" of it. I have many 78 records, I love the history of music media and I also have a Edison Photograph that I restored). The bulk of my 78s were my great-grandmother's. Her 78 Victrola was one of the 1st items I restored in my mid-teen when I was in wood working shop. Though many of my records I have gotten in the last couple of years. There are quite a few rare records in my Wurlitzer, like my Ritchie Valens. This was pressed at the very end of 78 media and I believe only pressed in Canada.
Oh, I even bought a 50s Typewriter to just make my labels :-)
