I am in the same camp as Nico and dave58. Maybe not in their league regarding restore but close.

I don't think a pristine example of the games I want will every darken my doorway without help. So restore is the way to go. Never been a better time.

So who has a Kings and Queens that needs some serious love with a reasonable price tag?

I have been fortunate to see first hand some of Rods smashing collection of pristine 'original' Gottliebs. If I had his 20 years in the hobby, his contacts and his knowledge maybe a game such as his may darken my door. Its not going to happen however.

Its his fault folks that I know what an original game in pristine condition looks like!

I am currently happy to take a well used worn game and give it a proper make over. Over restoration how do you do that? is it chrome what else?

Another thought; if you clean, replate with similar finish and fix all the missing or broken parts and getting the game to work properly again, is it now as new?
