Pretty rare and fun game. At that price it sounds amazing regardless of condition.

If you are new to this hobby then I would be careful with how much you tinker with a machine as rare as that one. Something you may do to "fix" the machine may in fact decrease its value. A game like that has higher value to a select group of collectors of older EM machines. Electro-Mechanical (EM) machines have a few fans, but sometimes it is hard to find a buyer for the older machines at the price you want. That is a rare game for sure and someone would love to have it.

It is a fun hobby for sure, but electricity is no joke. I recently got a game from 1972 and the main electrical cord was pretty much falling apart. This is a good resource if you wind up getting it. http://www.pinrepair.com/em/index.htm Get it working and gently clean it and play it. With these old machines just be careful that by "fixing it" you aren't making it worse.
