My question is, how does this hold up in durability when compared to an original?

I would like to see some more pictures. It sounds awesome, and I know you wouldn't recommend it if it was junk.

I've had a HEP pin, but I prefer to restore my own, which I *do* treat like fine furniture

Might be interested in a White Water cabinet at some point, since mine is held together with drywall screws. I've got another used lower White Water I was thinking about restoring, but by the time I buy the artwork, fix all the issues in the cabinet, and install the artwork....

I was mostly asking about durability, as I know how much stress and weight playfield slides hold, and I was trying to figure out how they would attach with no fasteners through the cabinet.

Some people may worry about the colors being exact, but those are the same collectors who want the bolts through the side of the cabinet like original, too.

I can appreciate not wanting to get involved in a project where you're not gonna make any money and you're just gonna get kicked in the nuts in the end by some picky customers.

There's nothing wrong with picky customers... don't get me wrong...
