PM if anyone knows of one for little near or in East TN. Seeburgs OK as well.

Well Rockola and AMI-Rowe are exactly the ones that make little swirl marks on 45s. Seeburgs properly adjusted don't mark them up at all from what I've seen on my Seeburgs.The main problem with Seeburgs is the needles are getting pricey and the replacements are inferior to the originals which Pickering(now Stanton) no longer makes. You can't just stick another more modern. cartridge in when you've got a special double sided cartridge that plugs in a socket.
I don't know who could sell one to you cheap but they're out there. I'd try asking on the jukebox list. I don't have the link handy but if you google it you'll find it.I know they're tough to find for reasonable prices on craigslist because people automatically think a jukebox is worth a lot of money but 70s jukeboxes really aren't worth a lot and eventually they come down to earth or someone will come along with one for a reasonable price.
