Question
I have a 1961 Gottlieb Flipper Fair machine and was wondering what range in value it might be worth?  Thanks!!!

Answer
Hi Russell,  Flipper Fair is one of a series of Flipper titled games made by Gottlieb in the early 1960's.  Some collect the whole series and this one is in the middle range as far as demand.  In excellent original condition it would bring around $800-1000.  In average condition, not working it would bring $300-400.
