Seeburg SMC1 juke box value

I have a Seeburg SMC1 juke box in mint condition. What's it worth?
It's a 70s era box in which the trend was to hide the record selecting
and playing mechanism from public view. Sheesh, half the fun of putting
a coin in late '40s, '50s and some '60s era boxes was watching that
happen right in front of you because your phono at home didn't do that.
IOW it's the experience of operating the appliance and not just
listening to a record.
IMHO it's those boxes from the pre-1970s era that demand the higher
prices (is a mint condition Wurlitzer 1015 bubbler still the most
desirable?) I wouldn't bid on your box even if it's mint. Sincerely,
