Good deal or bad deal?

Check the main CPU board early Data east machines had problems with the cpu boards. Check under the playfield for hack job repairs. Check all molex connections on all the boards look for any burnt connections. Just give the machine a good once over because if you never played the game before. You might have a hard time telling if the machine is working correctly. I was in the pinball repair / selling business for 5+ years. And kept on hearing other techs always complaining about data east pins.

Stingray:
Working pins always bring good money. That one looks nice. Congrats.

Deal has been confirmed, now I just have to get the game done by this weekend so that I will have something to give the guy when he gets here.

Wade:
If that pin is fully working it is probably worth more than your Mame setup.  You can't realistically build a pinball machine but we can all build Mames!  Any just about any pin in good condition is worth some money, but a lot of people don't like Mame's at all.

Does he have any good pics of the playfield?  That's the most important part of a pin.  And does it all work 100%?  It could be the difference between that pin being worth more than your Mame or being worth almost nothing.  Although the outside looks good so I would guess that the playfield looks okay too.  I'd take a gamble on it if I had a spare Mame I didn't want that was built out of scrap parts.
