Re: Looking for someone to repair/my machine
Restoration price depend on what is the starting condition and what you expect on finish condition.
Show us more details and pictures please! Expect that it will be very high price to do a complete restoration.
There's tons of restorations example over the net but the differences between them can be light years from a quality and finest details point of view. What is the finish quality you want ?

Re: Looking for someone to repair/restore my machine
My question is... Is there anyone in Montreal that will come see the machine to quote me a repair/restore cost and then do it if the price is right? I don’t mind to pay for estimation either!dr.nybble wrote:You can get a feel for restoration costs here: https://www.absolutepinball.com/repair- ... playfield/

Cab + playfield swap or touchup + electronics + mechanics.... I estimate the price could be 3k$ + parts, if you dont ask too much for perfection.

Re: Looking for someone to repair/restore my machine
There are professionals in Montreal willing to repair your machine for a fee.
Restoring pinballs is a labor of love, people usually do it as a hobby for themselves.
That's why it is important to specify if you need a repair or a restoration.
Like Sparky said, advice is free on maaca if you decide to fix it yourself.
