Quoted from dung:
Do the math on the parts it needs. Then figure it is missing all sorts of odds and ends. Then guess how long it will take you to track down the door handle. Now how much time will it take to shop, find all these parts, and get it playing. Congrats you now have a player's grade tales from the crypt so no 700 is not really a steal.

100% this. You’re not buying a game really, you’re buying a hacked up cabinet with a play field, but not a game. The only thing that may make this worth it is if there are any unobtainium parts for this game. I am not sure but I don’t think there are

Quoted from CrazyLevi:
I'd take that bet.
Who wants something like this?! "Labor of love" doesn't even begin to describe it. End of the day you could be a year(s) into this thing at little or no savings over just buying a TFTC that's ready to go.

He’s right, probably someone would jump on it. Doesn’t make it a good idea, or sound investment !
