Anytime I have seen one in that good shape, it cost around 300-400 bucks. Have yet to see one in a thrift shop! Congrats!!

I'm far from an expert but can comment to this. Yes there was a cabinet for the FW, it's fairly rare and I've seen them go for big bucks. There are also reproduction cabinets being built, they're not cheap either.

This is the FW cabinet

the top lifts off, and the machine can be set into the bracket. The very earliest ones have a lift, but most you manually put the machine in place

It's much easier (and way cheaper) to find a 99 in a cabinet.
