It does look pre-tty nice on the outside.
dndcollect:
thanks for the help guys.

here is a question....

the wife would not be thrilled with arcade(s) in the house, however i am thinking that i may take the angle of I am buying it to restore and sell it so it will make money. ;)

so anyway, if i were to paint it correctly, add repro stickers, etc and restore it what would the value be?

i guess there are going to be 2 values, 1 for people like us or you guys ( i am a newb) or 2 people who just want an arcade game and dont care about details.

That's a good one.  I may need to try that on my wife.....

At his price point, any money you dump into it will not be recovered (or just barely).
FrizzleFried:
If you picked it up for $350 and put $100 or so in to it,  you may be able to recoup the $100 + $50 to $100 more...plus you get the game in the house and all the playtime you want.
