Cheers Swinks,

Got the plastic ordered, also picked what looks like the last Clear Topper Dome Topper for sale on the Planet. Thanks Greg @ RTTB and Mark @ PSPA for Selling me his last Mirco WH20 Playfield set, making the machine all it can be.

Both Company's are great to deal with and I always try to support Aussie Pinball Parts suppliers where possible.

Just Chrome and Powder coating to go. Coin Door Switchs have already been overhauled, including new Decal

Machine Purchased 10 years Ago for $ 2,700 AUD
Spent $2,000 on it then
Spent $5,500 on it now.

A beat up WH20 currently fetches around $5,000.
Spend $5,500 on it and chuck in 200 hours of labor.

So it's owes me $10,500 and that's about what someone would pay for it, in the current market, and it would sell for that. That's going to change over the next 10 years.

 Looks like I'll be keeping in for decades to come.
Can't see anyone forking out $14,500 for it, but I'm not letting it go as a parts only Machine and writing off 200 Hours plus of bloody hard work!

In the future a fully restored DMD game will rarely ever be seen for sale. Only beat up hacked machines will be available.
Prices for smick Games will only go higher and higher the longer time goes by.
Looked after this Bad Boy will still look like new in 15 years to come.
