To be honest the most important thing is how well the table plays. I have played many "restored machines" and while they may look like they just came out of the box they play poorly. Not saying all restores are like that just saying the majority of them that I have played. Too much effort goes into the aesthetics and not enough into function. That being said I love the restored playfields, fresh backglasses, plastics, and ramps. I could overlook a worn cabinet just because you never see it all unless you only have one game. If the games are close together you just can't appreciate a restored cabinet. I don't appreciate a worn playfield because it messes with the playing experience.
