Quoted from High_End_Pins:I am not on that level so it comes with a factory incorrect guarantee. Wrong sockets, wrong boards,wrong wood for the floor,wrong paint. All for the better IMO though.
Wrong flipper mechs too....that's ok, I like these better too. Stunning work as usual Chris!
Quoted from vid1900:Maybe.
Most restored ones are counterfeit anyway, like all those Bally Kiss games I was selling when Gene was still making playfields & backglasses. Reproduction cabinet, playfield, backglass, plastics, pops, flippers, MPU, legs....what was original? The wiring harness, coindoor and the transformer, lol.
What machines that are labeled as "all original" don't have some counterfeit parts in them? I mean all original would be all NOS parts including mechs, electronic parts with correct manufacturer and date code, even lamp sockets, rubber and balls. If I went to all the trouble to keep my games all original, I'd probably never want to turn them on, much less play them.
Quoted from vid1900:I still have genuine Williams flipper rebuild kits for my serious collector clients, but they sure are not $25 a kit....lol
But right now in the hobby, many **restorations** might be better termed re-manufactured.
New cab, playfield, backglass, boards.....90% fake.
Which is fine with me. I want my games to be played, which would not be the case if I did concours restorations.
