    Super cool Jeff. I know how much work goes into cleaning up this old artwork. I’ve never done a full art package but have done various labels .

    Pinball Pimp the Legend, we go back 15 years and I’ve had the pleasure to see many machines in person before and after, and I’ll tell you this is one of my favorites, he’s a Black belt of the craft. The best in the business. I’ve had the pleasure to see this machine in person and I got to play it, you are not gonna find anything better. It was a great nostalgic machine for me to play because I grew up in the 90s and that was the first Jurassic Park I’ve seen, the pimp has done it once again with his magic touch and expert skills. All the custom trees & other installs really made it pop out. 💯 🫡 As the PINBALL KING says himself keep on flipping

    Great game , but good call . Sometimes it’s just easier to let them go . To really get that game back to its glory it needs a full restore which is tons of work which I know you know . And you have to find someone that wants to pay you a lot of money so you can recoup your time and materials which is also very tricky ! Nice job pimp !

      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.
