Teekee please check Topic Subject "Positive updates''.....
I can only tell you this.... I owned 2 AFM for which i had paid +5000usd and these were not in a perfect even good condition... every month something broke, the saucer lights; strobo or allmost all had a loose target at the Stroke Of Luck.... the wood was all gone there.
Fully restored ones we had to pay +7000usd for them. Since the news of a AFM Re i have never seen so many ppl selling there AFM (mainly from Germany) (restored ones and not restored ones) Even for sale for a couple of weeks and after several price reductions; when 1 year back they were sold after 1 or a few days... good or bad condition didnt matter.
So for me AFM re mostly welcome...
Here in Benelux and Germany many ppl sold there Original MM for the MMre .... just to have a NIB without too much work/problems and with a perfect playfield.
But still there are ppl whom want an original one fully restored and willing to pay +9000usd but these ppl are getting less these days
