"working" is subjective because normally its just a matter of moving it or looking at it funny to get it to be non-working.

Pro tip. Walk in, look at it funny, ask them to pull it out a few inches so you can see all sides.

Then when it doesn't work any longer you can snatch it up cheaper :D.
 
Shitty condition but complete/working? Roughly $650 (with a lot of wigggle room)

Good condition? Creeping up on 4-figures

Great shape/collector quality? Certainly over a thousand ... $1200+ and going up
 
I recently bought what I would consider a nice 8.5 or 9/10. Extra sound board, extra big blue cap, manual, brand new repro marquee (why he had it i dont know the original on it is fine), extra coin bucket and spinner knob. He was asking $975, I got it for $800. It worked 100% at his house. Moved it out of the basement, loaded it in truck, drove 45 miles, unloaded and put in my garage.... worked 100%. 4 hours later.... no bueno. Graphics were all messed up. Guys on here gave me great advice. I bought 4 new bit slicers.... game works 100% since. I consider myself very fortunate to have gotten the machine and very lucky the initial fix was cheap. I would think if I listed it for $1200 or so in the Northern NJ or NY area it would sell quickly. Hope this helps
 
Bought mine for $700 a year and a half ago, had to fix it twice, traded it with a few other games for an Ironman pin.
 
A nice lookin' and working Tempest Upright should fetch $1KUS (or more), IMHO.

Similar is probably true for the cabaret and cocktail.
