Thats a fun game but for $750 you’ll find another game that’s in much better shape and just as fun (probably more) if you’re patient. Check on eBay every day for other EMs or early SS machines. Lots of times you can find games in that price range from reputable sellers that are within a 2-3 hour drive. That’s how I got all 4 of my machines and I bought the last 3 in an 8 month span. Like others have said, getting your feet wet with a project is probably not the best idea. Good luck.

One thing to remember about eBay is that you’ll have to not only be patient and vigilant, you’ll also have to wade through all the ridiculously overpriced machines as well. I happened to find a beautiful 1976 Space Mission in great shape for $400 5 weeks ago and it was only 45 minutes away. That’s unusual but timing and luck play a big part in it.
