Hi everyone, I've been lurking here for a while and have yet to chime in. I hate for my first post to be a question, but I've had nothing of real value to add yet

A guy has a home use (since 1967-68?) Ice Revue. Backglass is a 9, playfield is 7.5-8, cabinet is a 0. The whole surface of the machine, outside of the glass, buttons, and coin door (no lock, duck taped closed) is covered in stickers applied during the 70's. The machine works around 95% (the 5% is mostly lights from what I could see), has it's original rubber (shot), and according to the guy has never been serviced. The last time it was moved was in the late 70's and he said it was moved maybe 3-4 times before that, all in the same house. He's asking $900, I offered him $600, hoping that he'd budge some, and he countered with "a lady already offered $900 sight unseen" so it didn't move forward from there, which involved me lifting up the play field.
That was a month ago, it's still up for sale, and he returned my call to come look at it again. I'm pretty sure I could walk with it for $750, but don't really know it's worth that to me. Thing is, this game is pretty spot on but the cab is destroyed and that's a lot of work I would have to pay someone to do. Any thoughts?
