[Jukebox-list] Rockola Princess Console?

[Dan Penoff]

Since I have been actively searching for jukebox, I am still getting  
the occasional inquiry from potential sellers.  This being the case, I  
may, from time to time, ask the list's collective wisdom about these  
in the event they might be of value.

Tonight I received a call from a woman asking me if I would be  
interested in very nice Rockola Princess that is in very good working  
condition.

I have not explored this further, hoping that someone here might offer  
dome insight as to whether or not this might be worth looking into.

She mentioned wanting $300-$400 for it, but quite honestly she sounded  
like she was fishing on the price.

Suggestions?

TIA,

Dan
