Just wondering what the value of this game working is? Also if you've got a backglass for it lmk!

I'd need to see under the play field and inside of that head, but I'd guess ~$200 max given what I'm seeing. That backglass has seen much better days.

If you've got a complete set of boards, the MPU isn't eaten up by the battery, underside of play field doesn't have all that white crud on it from exposure to moisture, and it's otherwise complete, maybe $250. Key will be finding the backglass as you noted.
 
Fun game - favorite at league nights. Have to learn to play the center post and nudge to get good scores. Few more satisfying shots then lighting the stars and nailing the spinner.

Your example is rough. Highest ever paid on ebay is $1200. If that thing's been sitting outside and is rusty on the outside I'd be worried about the mechs under the playfield and all the harness connectors. I don't think I could bring myself to paying more than $300 for what you have there assuming it works where it sits. If it doesn't I'd consider it a parts game and price it as such. With the moisture I'd also be concerned about the wood and whether its sound. Over 5000 of these made - if this was a game I wanted to own I'd look for a better example unless I could get it for my price or less.

Good luck!

I paid 65 for it I forgot to put that in the post brought it home and put a new mpu in it and it runs great no mold playfeild looks great woods sound everything seems great on it just needs a backglass and 2 displays, but I've found a backglass already just needs displays
 
If it cleans up nicely, and you get the rust off the coin door, have a decent backglass, fully stripped/cleaned/waxed play field with new rubber - i.e., fully shopped - and plays well, probably a $500 game I'd guess. This ones a bit simple as far as older Sterns go - not much to do on it - but can be a nice player's game if it's tuned and cleaned. Hard to tell the cabinet condition, but the door definitely has some oxidation on it, and there's a bit of missing paint on the head as well.

Playfield is where the action's at, but a trashed cabinet definitely brings the price down.

$65 is a good price based upon your description; you should be able to get your money out of it and make a few bucks on it if it's cleaned up nicely.
