"Mint" - I love that word ! It is where they make money? right  %.%

I'd say a Paragon would start at $2000.

Reconditioned - $2200 +

Restored - $2600 +

Repainted + Restored = $3000 +

Playfield would have to be NOS for a "Mint" machine. These copped a belting around the Bonus area and in front of the slings.

Or a trashed one - $500. If that: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150368054494
Not trashed but 'Near Mint' condition. I hope the one I'll look at will be a bit better
