Hi Boots,
Last couple of these I think sold for $600 and $1200. As Steevsee mentioned the hologram does fade. I had a Gunsmoke I was repairing for another collector and the hologram was faded but still good enough to play the game. It is one of the central parts of the game so if this is damaged the game would be worth next to nothing. I know of 2 holograms which were damaged due to cleaning. If you use water or any other liquid the hologram will just rub off the drum. Most of the other repairs involved, cleaning steppers, rewinding a coil, replacing few relays, etc. Game is designed for easy access to the major assemblies. Great EM game to play once it is all working. I have some notes and photos of the one I worked on if you need a hand.
regards Derek
Thanks Derek, that pretty well confirms what I was thinking.
Good to know about the hologram I could have got caught with that.
The bloke thinks its worth $1500-$2000 and I thought that was a bit steep straight off the farm.
