I didn't think the market was up for EM's. Seem like most go for 400-700 range.

Wasn't trying to be rude. I have a 1964 Gottlieb Big Top (first 2 player add-a-ball for Gottlieb) that was my grandmother's. I got it working a few years ago. The paint is yellowed from its history in various bars before my grandfather (who I have no memory of) bought it for her. It still has carved letters and names from pocket knives. But, it means more to me than it's appearance. Thankfully the playfield and mechs are pristine and it works 100% But I like having the EM in my collection. What a difference it makes sitting next to the Hobbit! But, when kids come to the house, I put them on the Big Top first so they can figure pinball out. And you know what? They like it better because of the physical bells! Not to go long-winded (too late!), but one time when I sold a game, the buyer brought his 70 year old father with him. When he saw the Big Top he walked past everything else and wanted to play it. He started nudging it like crazy and the buyer was like, "Dad, stop it!" But he told his son to shut up because that is how we did it back in the day. Seeing that guy's face light up is still one of my favorite pinball memories...of course him ripping his son was pretty classic, too. Big Top is bolted to the floor for me...plus, it's too damn heavy to move anyway...lol.
