That looks like it would be fun to play when restored, but looks like it needs a good deal of work.  That back glass looks a bit tired!  I'm sure you have all the time, money, and space in the world to give that little machine the love it needs, right??   :tounge:   :biggrin:

RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!
Really, this would be a project of major proportions.
Wait til a better one comes along.
Backglass is irreplacable, and unless you know what you are doing,
repair would be a nightmare.
This looks like a major money pit to whoever buys.
One could be found for $300-1,000+ US and it wouldn't need repair.
Sorry to burst your bubble.

Don't worry Terry...

I won't be going near it... It is as rare as rocking horse poo here but even so... Mrs B would hit the roof. I've pushed my luck recently... Don't fancy sleeping in the garage along with the machine for the next month..
