Now you know why I called my thread a cleanup rather than a restore lol

Agree mine don't qualify as a restore well most of them.

I can't stop looking at those pics and I have to pick my jaw up off the floor as well. Absolutlely fantastic skills to come up with results that amazing.
I want one, how much does a typical restoration cost?

I cannot speak highly enough of Tim's work.  His skill and attention to detail are second to none.  No stuck on bling, hiding decal seams, cutting corners - better than factory.

The amount of hours which goes into these machines would be staggering, but for the end customer worth it I'm sure.  Like with Christoper HUTCHIN's work (High End Pins), I have no doubt Tim's work will command an amazing resale value - that is if the owner was ever to part with the game.

You have added another degree to what a professional restoration can be.

Outstanding and inspirational work, Timbo !

I really like the personalization with the instruction card (build number), the documentation envelope and the sign on the backbox. The felt on the headbox brackets is also a finer detail that is a great idea.

From the pictures, it is the best Fishtales I've ever seen. Lucky owner  ^^^
"lucky owner" sure am, very proud to own a piece of Timbo's work :) Any questions about the machine or the process (except costs) I would be happy to answer. scotttye@bigpond.com

Looks great Tim and as matt said photos do this no justice.

    I am disappointed though Tim I did notice a huge disappointment in one of your photos of the fishing rod.   

    A real ugly mess oh hang on that's your reflection well I was right anyway.  !*!
Thankyou for wiring up my coin door :)

Hi all, yes it's going to b my FT, this was the game that took me back to my youth, I know not the best title, but after Tims touch, the finest piece around I think we all agree,  I would also like to thank everyone who helped Timbo out in any way, thankyou !
