I always tell people, parts and labor are going to be somewhere between $6000 and $7000. It can be more, if you get carried away with mods. Cost is also the same, no matter the title. The same work has to be done to them all.

Quoted from chuckwurt:So no change in price between a Bally/Williams dmd, and a early Bally/stern solid state game? Interesting.
I should have said, that's strictly Williams/Bally DMD style games. I've never done a solid state game. I don't see the price being a whole lot different though.
Quoted from Damonator:I think you just accused me of getting carried away with mods, sir!
Yes, but short of the hydraulics I had installed, they were very tastefully done.
Quoted from Saveleaningtower:Too much. Find a nice example for a fair price and play and enjoy it. They are out there. Be patient and be willing to pay. You'll still have the extra money for another game
I would say a good 95% of everyone would take your advice. The other 5% happen to have the means to make their games look and play as nice as possible. Nothing wrong with that.
I have a number of guys I've done numerous restorations for. I also have guys I've only done one for. That one just happens to be an all time favorite of theirs and that's the one they want perfect.
If they're your games, you can do anything you want with them.
Quoted from Saveleaningtower:Bryan. I know your work is awesome and I wish I had one of my restores done by you but being someone that has the means and has done too many professional restores as Boob mentioned, I just don't feel it was worth it. I should've found very nice examples that cost more but needed little besides maybe a cleared playfield by Ron K. Patience is everything. What I have learned is that excellent originals are out there.
Completely understood. If I wasn't able to do my own games, I'd probably have the same attitude as you.
