1950s coke waterfall sign

I just came across one of these....missing the glass on the left side tho.
bottom strip is glass and says please pay when served.
the guy told me he'd take 200. for it.
worth  it or not?
other than missing the glass it seems to be in real good shape.
is it hard to get repro glass for these?

I'm thinking $200 is a really good price. Is there something special about the glass that goes on the left, or does it just need a "regular" square piece of glass?

I'm thinking if I got a reg piece of glass and that logo like in the picture.

       I believe there is a wheel behind the glass in front of a light. The glass is silkscreened and when the wheel turns it appears the waterfall is in motion. That means the glass plays a very important role.
       I am not certain if the glass is re-manufactured or not, but when complete this series of signs book for $1800 in good shape. $200 is a fair price, go for it.

[VMAXMAN]

it does have the wheel....and everything works and lights up.
think I will go for it.
Went to buy a 1920s national register off him....50.00 and he brings this out to show me!
