Restored throughout, cools, veds on a dime..

Many thanks for the assistance.

Glad to see you back.  The Walters Book (3rd addition, 1999) says $2950.  However, I don't know if that's a good price, considering both the age of the book and the state of the economy.  Someone like MoonDawg would know better.

being a single bottle vendor, not as valuable as an 81 or 72 of course, but they are neat machine. First consider what you have into it with cost of original machine, then restoration cost.. assuming your looking to at least break even, start there.. as far as market value.. not real high unfortunatley for the general public, most likely will sell to a collector due to the fact that it's not a typical "Game Room" machine.
Let me know what you get for it as I have another sitting unrestored, trying to figure out to sell as is or restore.
