Very nice, sir.

Awesome job Jeff ! My first restore was of a Mata Hari . I used your photos as a reference that you have posted on your website. And of course a set of your beautiful stencils ! I live in Massachusetts and ended up selling it to a guy in Florida. Came out awesome . Thanks for sharing this with us !

Hey, thanks for the compliment and glad you used my stencils. I plan to show at least another 20-30 machines coming soon!

beautiful job, What did it cost your customer for the restoration?

[@PinballPimp]

Hey Thanks… It was way cheaper 14 years ago! These days a new playfield, full electronics, all new plastics, hardware and chrome will cost you around $3000. If you start with the new cabinet that’s another $1000. I have around 80 hours on average for a restoration like this. I’ve gone nuts on a few where you get into 140 hours. I charge $60 per hour so average labor is around $5000.
