Not sure but 10k sounds way to high. I paid $700 for the pin non working. Was in a fire. Have about double the purchases price in parts in and about 50-60 hours of time.

Holy cow, Bob. This is absolutely amazing. You did a fantastic job, man. Seriously impressive work. I can't wait to see the EK finished now. You have inspired me to try a full restore now.

Game is powered up with new boards. Looks like I need a transformer. Found one in Arizona. Game has no 43volts. Transformer is rusty from water damage.

Did you mean that as you want to sell it? I really don't want to go the overlay route, but I have a couple areas to touch up. What is it worth though?

On the inserts there are no letters etc... are those separate decals?

Any chance I can get some scans of that overlay from you? Thank you!

Quoted from Bohdi:

I might be interested. Would you possibly be interested in a trade, or just looking to sell outright?

Not looking for any trades. Thanks

I know this is a bit of an old thread, but if you mail one of your apron stickers to each of the original members with a detailed letter of your machine resto, I'd be willing to bet that Gene, Peter, Ace and Paul would all gladly put an autograph on it. Put a return envelope with postage paid inside with the sticker and letter, and mail the same one to each member one at a time. How nice would that look in the machine?
