Arcade Collecting > Pinball
If I wanted to restore a TAF, what should I expect as a beginner?
griffindodd:
Right on. Any recommendations for Solid State that would fit into the $600-$800 category?
jennifer:
Restoring a pin takes considerable resources, especially on a desirable machine like that, With that in mind, Jennifer is of the
opinion that every machine should be considered as equals to there counterparts (The TAF is no more important than say a xenon)
especially to a beginner.... Get what makes you happy, but do realize you will probably have 5k into that machine as a build, depending
on the level of restoration.

$5k into a build I can handle for the following reasons:
- I did it myself
- I can do it over time instead of one chunk
- Paying $5k just to point at someone elses work in your home bar/man cave and brag to your mates is my definition of ---meecrob---.

I agree, I don't see my self ever buying a pin that doesn't need some work I can contribute.

I would have a couple of games like that if I had the cash. I wouldn't be calling them my pride and joy, though, because like you I want my own work to be the important work. I am far more proud of the games I have restored myself than of any game I own that was nice when I bought it.
My definition of ---meecrob--- is people who say man cave. That sounds like you should have to put on a toga and grease up before you come inside.
