Re Value of Nickelodeons. Nice article. A Nelson-Wiggen 5x is not
necessarily cheaper than a Seeburg KT. In December a well-known restorer
sold a KT for $7500.00 (complete and original). Marty Roenigk sold his
Nelson-Wiggen, unrestored but playing, for $12,000 plus. It all depends
on who is selling and who is buying. Since activity in the nickelodeon
market is mostly sales between individuals and not big dealers (like
Hathaway and Bowers were in their day) it is really hard to value a
nickelodeon. There probably are not that many sales taking place
nationwide. That's my two cents worth.
