Quoted from pinmister:Yes the amount of work directly correlates valuation. Years ago I did not get the people willing to spend money on HEP games, I kinda scratched my head? Now I totally get it. These classic Bally/Williams games are getting harder and harder to find in good condition, most are routed turds. When you play a restored dialed in classic it takes the gameplay to a whole other level. Honestly it spoils you and playing routed turds-starts to turn you off. Some people see the light and some don't-and that is ok.
I'll take the middle road. A nice example that just needs a little cleaning, maybe even change rubbers and adjustments. They can still be found for decent prices. I don't need the bling to make it sing.
