I have easily $2500+ and 100+ hours into a sample t2 with horribly worn playfield and tattered cabinet.
It plays very nicely, everything has been cleaned and polished, and the ramp is new.
I had the shooter replated too.
No playfield restorer would take it on, and even if they would, the cabinet is rough and the sample cab artwork is different than production.

I try to give all my games this level of work, I'm doing it for me, not for hire, and it's what I enjoy doing. I'll be giving a flintstones the same treatment soon.
