Ahhh.. Yesssss...

Fathom is my "Holy Grail" Pinball - and is the second best Bally I've played. Paragon is my Favorite, but Fathom takes the very best of the genre - Drop targets (2 Banks and in line banks), multiball and the "complete" art package.

I have a repro playfield being sent next week, and my machine will be restored in around 6 months. It will never be for sale.

Fathom is VERY high on collector's lists and I've seen one on Aussie eBay in seven years. I'm sitting on a second Fathom with a perfect cabinet but no backglass - so who knows - I might make one out two and have one spare !

Hi Nino

Did you souce yours in Australia or did you import yours.Wouldnt mine one as well but dont like my chances of getting one local.

I bought mine from Pauls50 - But mine was a project machine with a very poor playfield. I knew CPR were doing a re run of Fathom playfields, so I bought the machine with the intent of replacing the playfield.

Cost of machine - $1575 AUS + $595 AUS + $700 AUS in fees = around $2800 for a project Fathom.

Add around $1500 to $1600 - depending on the price listed for the machine + shipping !

Only for "Holy Grail" machines in my view - but worth it.
