    I wouldn't kick a HEP game out of my game room.

    Chris' work is first class and so are some the others here on Pinside. I had an AFM that was beautifully restored by Bryan Kelly for it's prior owner. I paid a lot for it and it was great. It was my grail of grails... Then I sold it. No comment on the restoration. I was just ready to have something else.

    Deep down, I prefer an original game, in really good shape, with some parts replaced if needed. I don't mind replacement plastics etc. Once you get past replacing anything original, you cant really say you are a purist. I don't mind a little of wear on the cabinet etc and love the lower price.
