Question
I have a top hand machine purchased used in aprox 1973.It has not been used for years and need refurbishing but all the parts are present. What would be it's value "as is" compaired to refurbished? Thanks

Answer
Hi Bill, If you are in the USA you have an odd game. Top hand was made by Gottlieb for export and so it's not commonly seen in this country. The US version was called Capt. Card. This might raise the value a little. Your game in nice condition working, will bring around $500-700 and higher if in perfect condition. As is it would bring around $300-400. Larry
