What's an original upright Dedicated Defender cab worth?

Thoughts? I've got a lead on a pretty good deal, potentially. I just don't want to get hosed.
Man, will my cab EVER be finished?

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

The question is:

What's it worth to you?

If you want it and are comfortable with the price, get it.

Working or not ?
Not a technician . . . . just a DIY'er.

While prices will vary depending on geography, economy, etc, it is always worthwhile to check eXidy's price guide:

http://www.arcade-classics.com/price_guide.html

$350-$550 for a Defender seems reasonable.
Working: Not Enough
Projects: Too Many
Progress: None

Exidy says "collector quality" has held value, but what he doesn't say is that it's hard to sell anything in less than pristine condition, or find buyers at all, due to the economy.
NO MORE!!
