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?
