Looking absolutely awesome! I'm doing restoration to my TOM at the moment and must admit that I quite jealous about your playfield condition. I did have to do some touchups, grinded whole playfield to dull and now waiting for inspiration to get it CC'd. And for that basement-assembly, when comparing to mine, that's like new :) Luckily I have quite good connections to metal-industry, I can have almost any metal piece repaired/remaked quite easy and cheap. I can post some pictures when done, here you can find some pic's so far. Oh, btw. I'm putting this one out on location for play when done, that's why it's not so important that PF is mint. And CC will increase playability (=most important thing!) and give more time to machine to survive "in the wild". And sorry for jumping in to your topic.

Tensikka - Thanks for the kind words. My clear advantage is that I started off with a REALLY nice machine that didn't need major work. I saw your machine and from the pictures, it looked like it had a hard life. That would be an interesting restore to document - I'd like to see how well the game looks after restoration.
