I have a Wurlitzer 1954, model 1700f phonograph juke box that I'm looking to sell. It works great. I don't know its value. Does anyone know?

These can be several thousand dollars. I would look on ebay regularly for at least a few weeks, until you get an idea of what they are selling for.
There are many, many, many variables with these sweet things!!
Working condition like yours is critical, but does it have all the orgiinal parts? Does it have the records? Do all the records work? Are there any cracks in it? Do all the lights work? Does it have the manual? There is a dizzaying array of info so each sale will be a little different as you can see by these two SOLD auctions below (they are not 2018 so take that into consideration. Finding one today may be a challenge because so many people love to hold on to these cool pieces!!)
If this one is an exact match to yours in condition and what it comes with, it sold for $3,500 in 2014...which with inflation would be slightly more today since the Jukes have (at least in my area) appreciated somewhat.
In 2017 this one sold for £6,900.00 (equals approx 8,925 US dollars):

Another factor is where are you? If you are in a place where there are lots of these items, the value drops as it becomes a supply and demand thing. Around me, these are hard to come by, so the value increases!
Cool item! Lucky you for having one!!!
