You don't hear of many 100 dollar F-14's or any pin for that matter.

Quoted from GnarLee:

Would this be worth trying to restore?

My opinion is, send off MPU and power supply to a reputable board guy and have them repair and test. Have NVRAM installed there and have them throw in a new C-30 capacitor on the MPU. What wayout440 said about battery corrosion and learning how to repin are important points. Once you get the boards back and the game boots up, start working on the playfield. Heat inserts underneath with a hot air gun and apply nice even pressure to them from the top. Level them out as best you can, then use LED lights under them so they don't get the heat that incandecents put out. Shop out and go kill Yagov.
