model he has. Its suppose to work and have working pages. will assume
its an average machine in average condition. I need a price range that
will leave room for profit in the future. Tell me what you think.

I think it's a bad time to buy a Wurlitzer 2000/2100. They're recently
been sold for north of 10k rebuilt/restored and you're taking a chance
they'll hold strong while the buying market is shrinking. (Folks that
remember 45 rpm records and the jukes that play them are in there late
50s+. Not much extra cash in this age bracket/economy.) If you can buy
under the value, you could do all right. (Why not a quick buy/sell or
quick connect with finders fee ?) Problem is considering this an
investment vehicle. All being said if the chrome will polish, the roto-
pages are complete, sides are good, dome/side/pilaster glass is all
fine and the coin gear is complete (especially on the 2000 they had 1
year only design) going over 7k for the 2000 and 6k for the 2100 would
be risky. Deduct for any/all parts/chroming costs from these numbers.
Keep in mind jukebox values could crash if Europeans quit buying/
restoring them. As I said, not a slam dunk investment idea. All this
is believing you'll be able to apply SKILLED sweat equity to the new
toy.
