Well lack of space is a problem. Lack of money shouldn't be if you had the space. I've picked up late 60s-80s boxes non visible mech nonworking jukes for less than $100. Some jukes have a pretty small footprint too. My Seeburg 222 is less wide and deep than your typical color console tv from the late 60s-70s and my Rockola 490-1 is not far behind in lack of floor space taken up and the latter juke can be found in that less than $100 range.
If you can repair an old tv you can repair a juke too except for maybe a control computer problem in the 80s vintage ones. The worst thing is if you need to get them up steps. They're as heavy as refrigerators.
Call me crazy but I live in a single wide mobile home(trailer trash...lol) and in the living room alone I have 3 jukeboxes and the HSC1 console. The HSC1 console doubles as the stand for the 42" plasma tv.Had 4 in the living room until I had to sell the Wurlitzer 24A to raise cash for hospital bills.
I still have a fairly open floor and a recliner and full size sofa as normal furniture in the living room....lol.
