Quoted from bigguybbr:For a $1000 I want your restoration guy.
A Paragon playfield is $995 from CPR before shipping. Plastics are $160. Back glass is $270. Cabinet stencils are another $200. Add in paint and supplies, some kits for flipper rebuilds, new coil sleeves, new posts and rubbers, LED bulbs, etc. etc. etc You'll probably be around $2000-$2500 in restoration costs by the time everything is finished, if you do all the work yourself.
If I could own a beautifully restored Paragon, I’d be MORE than willing to absorb those expenses! I’m a Bally nut, and own five (‘78-‘81) beauties, so I’d be a little more motivated to dive into a project like this.
