Quoted from Budwin:I keep a spreadsheet of every part purchased, then I know exactly how much I am losing on a restore.
The 200 hour labor figure is just about right. (with prepped and painted cabinet and stencils + tearing down everything to the nut and bolt)
I would never restore an older game (prior to '85) for anyone but myself, even pros like HEP could not make money restoring a C title.
Cabinet work sucks up an insane amount of time.
Quoted from pinballizfun:Bottom of the head wouldn't be repainted on a restore, it wasn't painted originally. It's still original.
Is missing the metal glides though.
