Concerning the ITCOTCK MK 2, I heard the going price was around  $25,000.00 - 
a bit high in my book too, especially if it needed work. I  wonder: is there  
a way to restore an "important" 'Tron, while  retaining it's status, and 
value?



Re: the magnificent work that Jerry Korb did on the  Pinderton (#134), he 
took care of the major touring dings in the side veneer and  a couple of the 
bottom pieces (see Ken Leonard's website for pics), but retained  the patina of 
the original cabinet.  It's still very much a Pindertron (and  I still have 
Mike's original tapes).  Value?  Who  knows?
