WTF I thought this was a Black Hole thread, not Jumping Jack!

Anyway, both these games are my all-time favorite EM and SS games. I did similar repaint job on my Jumping Jack - looking at your pice brought back some not so great memories lol.

I just did a Black Hole playfield swap for some new Mirco playfields. Took about 40 hours in total for both. All the mechs were clean (I had previously shopped the playfield several years ago) so I didn't have to worry about dealing with that which speeded up the process. It was well worth effort.

Quoted from mrm_4:

If I ever listed any of my restos for a sale price to just break even for the cost of parts and paint excluding the hours of work. I’d get the pinside price police called on me in a second. We never get back what we put in.

So true. It took me 40 hours to swap both BH playfields so at $50CAD/hour that's just 2k in labour. Add on the playfields at $1500CAD and that's $3500. Add parts and....you get the picture It's a labour of love for sure. I wouldn't sell my Black Hole for less than $5000 CAD.
