Really sad to hear that Karl is ill and has to shut down, he has always offered knowledge and support for collectors here in this mail list.
I wish I was closer, as this is a great deal for someone interested in starting, or filling up, a jukebox shop. A great collection of machines!
When I started out back in the late 70s I only had a few machines I could afford to buy for resale. I moved to a larger shop (3300 sq ft) in 1982 and it was empty and I needed inventory. Reading the trade journals I spotted an add from a company in Chicago that wanted to sell something like 100 jukeboxes for around $5000 USD so I borrowed some money and flew to Chicago and went to the warehouse and sure enough there were a LOT of jukeboxes - so I bought them and loaded a freight truck and sent it to my shop in Vancouver BC. One of my better buys - those machines built my business! We are still fixing jukeboxes that I brought up from Chicago, these 40 years later, that have moved from home to home here in BC!
Highly recommended that some young person who loves fixing things buy this really great priced deal!

That is really sad and one hell of a deal. No bidding. Set price. I can't believe no one bought it yet. I'm a bit over 5 hours away but I have no room at all to store them. Plus I do very few sales and focus on repairs. Someone will get a great deal! If I had the room I would have bought them already.
