    Hate to hear this. I have a TAF that Allen did. He brought a lot of games back to life.

    Quoted from LTG:

    And sadly Allen's great photography still pops up in scam ads and auctions. He had the most famous garage door in the world.

    Agreed, when I first got in the hobby around 2003 I remember seeing those pics and thinking those games looked amazing. Seeing the TC games was the first time I thought about a game being restored like that. I'd only played pins on location and had games that came fresh off route. My standard was for a good game was one that was working. TC opened my eyes to the fact that it was possible to have something better than new.
