The way I would look at it is that you got the machine for $800. As long as the playfield and cab are decent you will have about ~$700 to get it working and not really loose any money when it comes time to mix up your home game. The best part is that you get to fix up the machine, learn restoration techniques, get it the way you like and learn a lot about pin repair. The only downside, once you have one there will be others.
