Quoted from jgentry:$7500 is the asking price. Doesn't mean it will sell for that but it's not an overly uncommon price for a restored fathom. Also having a nice original BG is a big plus on these. Although not as important as it used to be with the recent PPS release. It's pretty simple, it's a hard to find, low production game, that is highly desired, and it's fully restored.
My issue is the parts to make a trashed fathom nice are still around if you know where to look, this fathom is NOT mint. It's pretty damn nice, but when you put it next to a NIB Jersey Jack or LE Stern game I don't get it. Now if HEP did this restore I could see the asking price. But this is NOT a HEP restore, or near his quality by any means.

If I'm paying over 5k for an 80s bally, I would like to assume the cabinet would be free of planking, the switches adjusted properly, all the lights working, and the spinner wouldn't look like it came off a world warI battlefield. But thats just me.
I get the desire vs value vs demand in this hobby, I've bought and sold hundreds of machines, but I take pride in giving someone VALUE when it's time to for it to leave. Where exactly is the value in this? To me, it's like here is a hard to find machine, now BEND OVER if you really want it..
Quoted from roar:This doesn't read like someone sorry to crap on a post. Probably could have just lead with this.
Agreed, will do next time.
