I will post some current pic`s later. I haven`t got many "before" pics as I restored these machines about 10 -15 years ago, I didn`t worry about it, hovever I have some pics of the Fathom playfield before restoration around 1998.

I picked up the Gorgar glass recently from John`s Jukes in Canada .
It cost $300US plus $300US shipping with no insurance. He has shipped all over the world and I was confident with his packing. Still a risk though. Arrived without damage and ended up costing about $900AU with all the airport clearance fees included. That was with a much better AU dollar exchange rate. John Robertson is great to deal with and has lots of other great backglasses available. Worth checking out.

Mate - there are plenty out there in need of the "full treatment" - Unfortunately (if you are a buyer), or fortunately (if you are a seller), they keep their value and are hard to find cheap.

Cheers Mitch,
unlike most other pins, you rarely see a cheaper rough/worn Kiss machine come up for sale, as Strangeways said they are definately out there though. I think one reason may be because a lot of Kiss fans have got hold of Kiss machines in any condition, don`t care what they are worth and never sell of restore them. just happy to have one in their collection.
