That’s weird about the wear spot on the playfield because I don’t see any wear around the inserts. The spinners look nice. Hard to tell with the backglass. I see maybe a scratch but no major chunks of art missing. It appears to be in pretty decent shape cosmetically but it is hard to tell from pictures.
Aside from what has already been mentioned about the alkaline damage on the MPU and the burned connectors on the rectifier board (just replace the rectifier board for $50 from barakandl https://nvram.weebly.com/new-pcbs.html , replace and repin rectifier connectors) I would want to know if all of the plasma displays are working with no burn marks before I paid upwards of $800 for it.
This would be a good project pin to learn on, if that is something you might enjoy or some skills that you want to learn.
