This was my first pinball purchase, and like many first time buyers, I was ripped off with a PoS condition machine. But I learned a lot with it. Now, after 5 years collecting, fixing, repairing, etc. I did my first (almost) full restoration. New nearly everything (PF, plastics, ramps, helmet, decals) repaired cabinet, repainted the coin door (with speckles), lots of bad board work fixed, etc. And, of course a pinduino to give it something special. Overall, it is not perfect, but I am very happy with the end results. Plays like I would imagine a new BoP would.

Thanks! I have done a few PF swaps, and the thing that I was most surprised by was how much easier and faster doing the cab was than stripping, cleaning, and repopulating a playfield.
