Honestly, anyone paying more than $5k for a routed looking MM is insane.

New playfield $1000

New decals cab decals $260

New plastics $150

Color DMD $400

New rubbers $25

New ramps & moat $550

LEDs $125

Other parts $500
(sleeves, sockets, posts, screws, polishing compounds, touch up paint, balls, )

=============================
Total $2900

........and the above does not include 100+ hours labor. Even if you only earn $20 a hour, that's another $2000 at least.

At the end of your multi month restoration, you still have an old game with old capacitors, old power supply, mono sound, terrible GI connectors.....

You can, but only because there are brand new, with warranty games available to buy.

Just like you can directly add up the cost of repairing a 2017 Mustang with the fender and door panel dented VS. buying a brand new Mustang - because you can still buy the new ones.

You **COULD** just drive the Mustang around dented, but because it's so valuable, you will probably get a new door skin, fender and paint.

HEP will even restore your remake.

Clearcoated playfield, Clearcoated cab, polished stainless ball guides and ramps.....

Your MMr is only a remake, until HEP really remakes it.
