I have an AMI Lyric Model “E” (XJEA-100) Jukebox forsale. This is an extremely rare machine that was only produced for one year (1961) and t were fewer than 200 ever made. This one is serial number 605073 (serial numbers ranged from99 on this model). In a few months, this unit will be 50 years old. Simply amazing. The unit is complete and working. It shares some visual lines with the Continental box, but this one is the rare “dial” version, not the more common button models. I have never seen a single other machine like this. Mono tube amplifier works great. It had a broken wire on the input jack so I bypassed the socket and kept it all original (could easily be returned to the original connector, I kept it). Glass dome is original, with two small scratches on the right side. Trim is all complete, “glass” (not sure what it is made of) in the front is a green color complete with the color sleeve on the front light. Small crack in the plastic tray around the number display wheel. Some wear in the upper plastic dome area (it is almost 50 years old, nothing out of the ordinary; I just want to be thorough).

Front glass (is it original?) frame is dented and scratched with normal wear (expected for its age). T was a free play button read more
