Too big for some, limited appeal unless you are displaying in a huge open area. They do look nice restored.

If i personally had to make an offer just from the pic and not knowing if it vends or is missing anything, I would start $500.

Some of the late 50's/early 60's models had illumination in the display area, so if it has lighting, that's a plus!
Someone already mentioned a price, but I would start a little lower due to the size/weight... Say $300 - $400

Just called the guy and asked him if he had any offers..( I was going to 400.00..) and he said yeah..A bunch of HIS friends are collectors and go to the Chicago Coin Op show and told him it was VERY rare..blah..blah..blah..( HATE that flipping word..RARE..) if it so RARE why isn't it on Ebay..?!?!?!? Anyway..he says he turned down 600.00...wants WAY more then that.Like me Dad always said...(" Wanting aint getting..!!).

So desirable and very rare but his collector friends aren't interested in it, nor planning to take it to Chicago for him or with him.
