Looking to add a Mata Hari to my small collection and am looking for a little info. I found one local to me but I feel the guy is a little over priced for the work it needs. From what I saw at inspection, it needed:
1. Boards had corrosion.
2. Play field wear on the left slingshot
3. Missing drop targets
4. Backglass and right side GI were out
5. Spotty score displays
6. Would not boot unless you hit the start button repeatedly
7. Chipped and cracked pop bumper skirts
8. The expected missing and cracked rubbers
The pros were a near perfect backglass, clean cabinet and the rest of the play field is pretty clean. I like players condition games and original cabinets. The flippers felt good and same with the pop bumpers. I'm ok with rebuilding those anyways of needed. I'm not really into restoring cabinets because I like the original wear and tear.
I guess what my question is, is what would be a good price for the pin? I do not have pictures but based of the info I gave, can you help me with a estimated value to purchase this at?

Yes, that's the one. I can get him at $460 but he keeps insisting that's it's a $2-3k machine and he's doing everyone a favor.

I'm not looking to resell, just add to my collection. I just don't want to sink more than what I can get out of it if I did need to sell it off. I figured I would have a solid $4-500 in replacement parts.
