Universe
Gottlieb, 1959I have a chance to get a nice Universe, not perfect by any means, does need some work, but it's complete, playfield is good, cabinet is OK, backglass is toast but a new repro is included. Unsure of working condition, but that's not much of a concern as I like to fix them, and it also has a new set of bumper caps included as well.
What do you think a fair price for this would be in today's market, and what would it be worth when fully restored?
TIA
IMO about 600-800 with repro bg. i am a sucker for any space theme so i would go a bit higher. it is a fair player not the greatest but far from the worst.
as for what it is worth restored depends on the quality of the restoration and location and finding the right buyer
