Quoted from gutz:You could buy it, then dump $400 of parts into it and about 40 hours of work, and still not have a firepower worth $2000
I think you are correct. It would need either more than 40 hours, or 400 dollars. The playfield would either need to be restored or replaced I think to make it to 2k (then again the market is nuts). And the hot dog inserts look completely faded, so restore would be time consuming... Not to mention I see at least one broken plastic. To get a player condition, probably a few hundred in parts and cleaning time...not counting whatever damage lurks in the head.
