    Quoted from pacmanretro:

    I'm only seeing SI Deluxe CPOs. I'll have to keep looking around. I knew someone had metal ones at one point too. But I don't think they are available.
    $50+$15 shipping and tax. So probably about $75 for a CPO. On the fence. It's tough to decide if I factor the cost into sale, or just lower price a little as is.
    But I think you are right that, in general (even at higher end price), the nicer art would he more attractive for a sale.

    Once you replace the overlay you’ve got a pretty sweet machine. I’d ask $1000/OBO after you replace it. If you don’t I think you’d struggle to get $600. A very worthy investment in my opinion!

    My girlfriend has a near mint SI Deluxe. She bought it cheap almost 20 years ago. It’s a real nice addition to her lineup.

    I don’t know about other Pinsiders but now that new (and used!!!)machines are $9-10000, I think that nice condition classic arcade machines are more fun to hunt for. As long as you have SPACE!

    Wow. That's very very cool that she has had it so long, and got a great deal on it!
    I think you (and the others) are right; a new overlay is a worthy investment.
    Above even side art, or some color fade...the control panel really is right there in front of you the entire time. So a nicer overlay would certainly make it much more attractive!

    I think it was$295 at The Pennsylvania Gameroom Warehouse in York Pa. It was her first arcade/pin machine purchase. About a year later she bought a sweet Tales From the Crypt for $1400. Still has both of them and a couple other classics from back in the good old days of more reasonable pricing.
