Lowest Value Game/Cabinet you've sent time restoring?
I am working on a Dynamo HS5 that is in just plain awful shape. As I'm working, I think back to auctions where the auctioneer can't pay people to take these. That led me to wonder, what game or cabinet have you spent a major amount of time restoring knowing you'd never make your money back (or never make enough on the game to make your time worth it)?
For me, it has to be this Dynamo cab. I'm into it for quite a chunk of money between original cost of the cab, parts, tools to fix it, monitor, not to mention the time I've spent. But something is driving me to fix this thing (maybe it is the buyer's remorse I've had since day one? LOL). I love this cabinet design, and really wanted another after trading my last one. Stumbled on this one, decided to take on the restore. There was not a factory glue spot that was still intact, drywall screws and evidence of at least 3 separate major previous repair attempts by previous owners. It'll get fixed right this time.
