Also the line between restoration and reconditioning was very thin years ago.
I have seen you use both terms - restoration and reconditioning. Where does reconditioning end where restoration continues? I suppose I would have thought the two as interchangeable, but it would seem not so.
Restoration - I mainly use this term for older games that need full rebuilds - or "restoration". DMDs don't usually require the level of detailed restoration, so I consider them "Reconditioned" machines.
