They definitely get to 6k+ restored to perfect or better now and could hit 10k with Chris Hutchins stamp on it but Im sure pictures are step 1 to getting there. I'd just love to see his beautiful example.
Quoted from gearheaddropping:I agree. I remember around 10 years ago when a guy had a Fathom restored to a ridiculous level. CPR playfield, original perfect backglass, repro cabinet, perfect metal finish etc. It was probably the nicest one in existence. The guy listed it for 6k one day, and the exact type of thread as this one proceeded to take place. I think it eventually sold for close to that price, but I might be wrong.
