Quoted from DaveH:I might be in the minority of this thread, but I wouldn't pay 2500 for any EM games. Part of the charm of an EM game is how much value it provides. Crazy good value, and so much fun that can be bought inexpensively. I will grant you that it may be because so few people desire them, but when they are in the 2500 range, I want something more.
There is nothing like a well sorted EM. But gives it to me in original shape with 40 years of history. Get it playing well, and set me lose on it. It's going to be a fun night!
+ 1 The charm of EM's is in the wear spots, the fading paint on the cabinet, the tarnished chrome. I too like my EM's in their natural state. Clean waxed and playing 100% is just how I like them. To me doing a ground up resto on any EM takes away from it's story, it's charm.
