I've got a Williams Firepower that I've now got working well enough that I'd like to start looking into the playfield. CPR has a Firepower play field for $599, and I'm totally on board with that, but I'm curious how much return I can get out of the swap. I don't expect to get every dime back out of it, but I'd hate to put $600 into the machine, along with new plastics and a restored cabinet, only to have the restored machine still worth $600 bucks total.

I'll probably still do the new PF anyways, I don't plan on selling the machine, but just to put my mind at ease that I'll at least get some equity into the machine for the PF swap.

Quoted from CFoote:

do the restoration for your own benefit, not for a financial gain....

Yes I know, and like I said I will likely still do it one way or the other, but if it's not too big of a loss it makes it easier to swallow
