Im building (well, collecting parts for) a Bad Cats from scratch...I bought a populated playfield and am starting there, I have since gotten a nice back glass, speaker panel, and cab decals...I am fabricating a replacement cab and I have a buddy who is working on reproducing the back box animation parts for me...I have my eye out for a similar era game in bad shape to harvest the boardset, transformer, harnesses and other parts

When I get it completed I will probably have spent $3,500 to build a game I could have bought for $2100

Quoted from Daditude:

Im just curious here...but with so many production TAFs around (20, 270), why not just pick one up and do a full shop out?
I mean, I understand if you want everything "new," but you have to figure that is just going to cost a ton (8-10k or more) and take hundreds of hours to do. I guess if you just want the challenge, it doesn't matter. But if time is money and money is time...why get concerned about the price or hours spent?
Maybe I am getting too philosophical...

I dont know about the OP but Im doing mine just for personal satisfaction
