Hi Kev,
Skipper is definitely one I want to restore to original condition, I've never played nor seen the game before however from the pictures I'd say the BG is gonna look like shit and will probably need the most attention, the PF looks pretty reasonable but I'll see when I get it, and the insides, well... that's anyone's guess.  Once it's up and running I'll see if I keep or sell it to get a more favourable EM title.  For the moment I'm studying the schematic diagram to re-familiarise myself with EM design conventions to make it easier to get it going once it arrives.
