His work is legendary! I know we have some great restorers here, but it would be fantastic to have someone doing it at the professional level so that lazy-asses like me could save the pennies to have games done to his sort of standards.

The market is already there in the USA as are the volume of machines. The demand for restoration work in Australia is starting to pick up, but you need to be a "jack of all trades" to be able to offer anything CLOSE to what CH does. If it was to happen in Australia - the demand would have to pick up, and it could only be feasible if efforts were combined from guys on this site - which would increase prices.

It is a "pipedream" that I have had for a while, but it would be bloody hard to emulate 75% of what the CH service provides. Sets a VERY high bar for others to follow - yet it is inspiring enough to attempt.

Thinking back 5 years ago - not many guys in Australia were doing the quality that we are seeing today. So they ARE out there, hopefully sites like AP will "bring them out of the woodwork"... and relocate them to Melbourne
