Found on Craigs List...Good Deal or Not?

[Nemisio]

I found this on Craigs list in SF.  Is this a good deal or not?
 Any info would be appreciated.

That's a nice looking machine. Even in your area, where slots tend to be a little pricey, that's a pretty good price on that machine. You don't generally see that type for much under $1200

I want to add though that based on the way the ad is written, I wouldn't buy it unless I could see it, pay for it and pick it up in person

Hmm ... I think I would question whether it's really 1964.  I think it's more like 1980.   

Here are some similar ads in Las Vegas ...

Hope that helps!

Based on our inventory of games we have on hand, that model # correlates to early 70s (72-74).

I would agree but I read somewhere that it was in production from the early 1960's to the early 1980's.  I read that to mean that it was copyrighted in 1964 and not the production date.

That seems to make the most sense.  Any idea if it's worth $900? More? Less?

Sorry, I meant to refer to this post...

Are they expensive because quality machines are difficult to find in California?  Simply an issue of supply and demand?

[cowboygames]

Partly supply and demand and partly just because that's what the market will bare. A machine in Arizona for $300 might easily fetch twice that in Michigan. That machine in CA might be more expensive in a better economy. Like I said though, based on the ads wording, I would want to do the transaction in person...
