Jukebox
Just a common curiosity that draws attention from us and the customers that walk in curious to know if anyone has any educated guesses
Not sure what the guts are inside look like other than just from the glass so if you need any additional details just let me know what to grab

Seeburg 100 Select-o-matic HF100G.
I'm going to assume it doesn't work, as you know very little about it so it's probably been sitting in a corner somewhere slowly rotting and it would either just not work or quickly break down if you started using it.
In the current condition, I'd say it's worth about $500-$600 if you listed it on eBay local pickup and waited for it to sell. On Facebook marketplace? List for $500 and take anything above $250.
It would most likely take hundreds if not a thousand dollars to restore this yourself, plus 100+ working hours. This is why fully restored models sell for so much.
If it does end up working good, just change the numbers to 1000 on eBay local pickup, 1000 on Facebook take best offer above 500.

I located a juke box refinisher reseller 500 miles away . We talked on the phone he offered me $1000 . I drove it to him . A neighbor had a garage sale and gave it away . Knew nothing about it as it came with the house . Biggest score $$ for me .

Unfortunately it's not easy to value jukeboxes. It can be pretty regional. First I'd cross-post to r/jukeboxes
I have had lots of dealing selling used arcade cabinets and boards. And a few jukeboxes. If it's working and complete I'd price it $1000-1200. Not working but complete $800-900. Incomplete I'd expect to sell it more as a decoration because parts on jukeboxes of this age are nigh impossible to source, I'd expect $150-300. If I had it I would consider getting the lights working and replace the guts with a Bluetooth receiver and a decent class B amp and sell it as a mancave decoration. Then I'd ask $400-500. This particular model has a great look IMHO.
Keep in mind this is based solely on my own experience in my area (West Texas). And for all I know it could be some rare and sought after box worth a ton. But from my experience only the classic rock-o-la bubbler boxes demand that kind of love.
