An absolutely amazing title. I searched for over 15 years for this title locally, and I had to import mine from Germany 7 years ago. Since then, I've had four more. I've restored two in the last 3 years, and I will be restoring my own personal game next year. Two weeks ago I helped a member sell his Fathom to a local collector, and that game is in my workshop with some minor issues I've sorted out.

Each and every person who has never seen or played the game, absolutely love the machine once they have seen and played it. I'd say I get asked for this game once a month.

The 2013 CPR run should be exactly the same as the 2009 run. The reason CPR made a run of 20 was to test some of their new equipment. I have mine on display, and I'll pull out my original 2009 as a comparison. The other difference between the 2004 and 2009 is that the 2004 run was a thinner timber. This caused MASSIVE problems with rollovers being too high above the level of the playfield.

I'm glad this title is getting the pinball love it deserves !
