WHY on earth can't this be located in Syracuse NY?

It is a great performer once proper restoration is completed. I used to own one.

It's in New Jersey, so it could get to Syracuse without too much trouble...
Not so easy from NC...

The distance from Syracuse is about the same from Charlotte to Myrtle Beach...

Nice machine. These mid-1930s Wurlitzers are unfortunately nowhere near as popular as the later light-up jukeboxes. That's a shame, because they usually had beautiful veneer and styling. I had a 412 many years ago, it was a lovely jukebox that sounded great. That's a good deal for someone.

I could afford the machine but could not afford the truck rental or to hire someone with a truck to get it here. Retirement can limit ones' finances.

Decided to go out on a limb and ask if they had any idea of what it would cost to ship it here. I can't stop looking at it and maybe the pending sale fell through. It would cost nothing to inquire.

Go for it, since you seem drawn to it... Do a daily LOCAL rental from U-Haul... it shouldn't cost that much.
Maybe make an offer of less to compensate for the rental.

It is marked as sold. Did a forum member get it?
