Complete game restoration
We offer and specialize in the complete and total restoration of most games dating from the late 1970's and up. Pricing is very hard to nail down specifically because conditions and brands vary so much. Most of the more modern games we are doing currently are falling into the $3000-$4500 labor range. The lower end would represent a decent starting platform with little to no cabinet work and higher end would represent a rough starting platform in need of full cabinet restoration, moderate playfield rework etc. There are circumstances where it can be slightly higher or lower than those figures. That service would include all items listed on the process page (clearcoating, cabinet restoration etc.) It does not include parts because
that is an unknown on any game until it is completely finished.

Cabinet restoration
Cabinet restoration is rarely done as a stand alone service.

The pricing of it depends on the condition of the cabinet or level of service needed.

Outside services
Two services we offer as part of a total game restoration are board repairs and metal finishing (plating etc). Both of these services are "contracted out" to people we feel are the best in their respective fields.

All major board work is done by The Coin Op Cauldron. Plating services are done by a variety of platers and metal finishers depending on the type of plating needed whether it be gold, chrome, polishing or powder-coating. Any person or company we use for this service are well established in their fields and will provide quality on par with our own.

Crating/Packing

All games that leave our facility must be fully crated to ensure they are not damaged in shipping. It does no good to perfect a game only to have the many hours spent on it voided by even the smallest nick or scratch.

Games are blanketed then shrink wrapped, the legs removed, then put on a custom built pallet that is also blanketed. After that step it is chocked all the way around and fully enclosed.

Crates are custom built to fit each game and are fully constructed of wood with a cardboard shell.This offers great protection while  maintaining a lighter and smaller footprint and less waste to dispose of once it arrives.

They are screwed together (not nailed) so they can be easily taken apart.

The cost of this service varies with the price of wood. The formula is standard construction pricing which is the cost of materials times two to cover labor. In other words a crate that cost $75 in materials would be $150 fully assembled. Most crates price out at $150. Trust me that it is the cheapest insurance you will ever buy.
