Restoration/Conversion Before & Afters: Full Machines

I am sure we have had many threads like this, but I wanted to start one with just a before and after pic of any games you have restored or converted while restoring since entering the hobby. Please post only quality, clear and focused pics. Pretend that you are submitting these for a coffee table book. If all you have are CL quality cell phone pics,

a. you should be ashamed of yourself, and
2. don't post them.

No amount of 'the wife had the good camera' excuses make up for poorly lit, crappy assed pics. I'll start with the DK3 I just sold. Converted an already converted DK to vs machine into a red DK3. Restored it about 3 years ago:

Before:

After:

I didn't take any angled shots, just straight on shots of the front and sides. This is my only restoration to date, although I have about 10 more on the burner:

5 years ago I restored a Paperboy. I sold it and have never seen another for sale in MN since:

Here's the Ms. Pac I did last summer. It has pink t-molding now and I've done some paint touch ups since these pics were taken, but you get the idea. Full resto thread is linked in my sig.
