Love your matching pin covers. Did you make them yourself? GLWTS

Beautiful game, also curious where you got your towels

For fully restored you could have painted the light panel. Other then that looks good. Any pics of the inside of the cab.

Agree. "Fully Restored" seems to be pretty subjective based off the restorer and buyer.

Curious to see where this goes as I agree, their are several other things not done that should be done for a full restorations (IMHO). Still looks like a super nice game though. I have no clue on the value of these in this condition so I'm tuned in to see.

I've posted a few more pictures of the Fathom, but it's funny that almost as many questions are about the dust cover / towel. I used to search all over for towels that matched my machines, but then I found the website fineartamerica.com. You can upload an image and have it printed on almost anything. These are their beach towels.

The trick is offsetting your image slightly down from the top so you can fold over near the back box. You can see the towels I made before realizing this. This helps add a bit more weight up there so they don't slide down on newer machines as easily.

Here are a few more pics of other machines. You can see I have a few new ones to order....

Yeah I don't know fully restored means it should look like brand new. I guess cleaning the inside of the cabinet isn't included in the restoration process anymore.
