I've recently found a Friendship 7 machine for sale, and it seems like I might be able to buy it for somewhere around $125-200. It is untested but seems to be in nice cosmetic shape. What would something like this be worth? Thanks!

Quoted from QuietEarp:

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

Cool. I'm not totally sure I have room for it. If I were to fix it up, clean it, and maybe test it, do you think I would a have a good market for reselling? (I would love to keep it but just not sure the parents want it in the house haha)

Quoted from QuietEarp:

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.

Yeah, I don't have any experience and I definitely have kept that in mind. I am even thinking it would be good to be careful of even plugging it (although I'm not sure why the seller hasn't already).
