That is one glowing endorsement and I am now thinking a fully restored hotrodded classic might be a better way to go and a better use of coin than another NIB.

You are spot on - when you see one of these games finished it really is inspiring. If you have a classic or a modern classic B/W game that you love, seeing it restored to this level is something to behold. Tim will be doing my AFM cab one of these days. As it already has a new playfield and basically all new other parts, Tim's work to the exterior will create a masterpiece I am certain based on the games I have seen in the flesh.
