I am closing in on purchase of this table. I have been reading quite a few posts and trying to follow advice. I welcome any input as I am truly newbie!

That's a brown marble coin-op, a fine table. Hard to know what the condition is from a single lo-res photo. Chipped outside laminate is an aesthetic issue -- what really matters is the condition of the laminate inside the playfield and the moving parts. If it's near you, go check it out. Have you read bbtuna's thread on "what table should I buy"? He has listed appropriate price ranges for various coin-ops. After having gone through a search recently, I can confirm that his prices are realistic. Also, he has a point-by-point check list of things to look for in a used table. Follow that.

Thanks for the response. I bought this table today for 450 and yes I have read the bbtuna post. You are exactly right that it has some aesthetic issues. Turns out that it is In great playing shape. It is as you said a brown marble coin op made in Ft Worth, Texas. I am excited that it is now at my house!! I am going to clean it up some and put my order in for some parts. It came with a few pieces, but I still have a few needs. We loaded it In a van pretty easy by taking out the two bars. Van just wasn't hardly wide enough to accommodate without doing so.
