finally picked up a game I always wanted,will be cool having it next to ElVIS (my wife pin.) and my other retro games. here we go: the back glass is near perfect(very small chip) :cab is nice but will make stencils and repaint another,keeping this one original :might need board work,no big deal :will repaint the legs :needs a new pf or overlay,touch-ups are out
so i figured i buy an overlay,they range between 180 and 240 US dollars ,not that bad,but saw one on ebay.....big mistake!!! total wast of money! cheap copy of crappy overlay and/or badly done job! well nows the time to test out that flat bed scanner i picked up this summer at a yard sale (5 bucks!) after taking the fp appart i scaned it in......10 passes at 300 dpi to stitch it later in photoshop,each piece was carefully aligned to perfection using the magnifing glass(not as bad as it sounds) now it was off to work ,re-doing all the colors and repairing the worn sections,hours of fun!!! I borrowed the Phantom chart from work to match as close as pissible all colors,also had to test print the colors i used since the printer at work dosnt reproduce to 100% Phantom colors here are a few pictures for now of the project....
Maybe CPR have the project to make the playfield repro, better to ask them, they make fantastic job !
Illinois Pinball reproduced these a few years back. Last fall, when I was at Gene's show (and at the Rochester show in the Spring), he had a whole wall of them still. Not listed on the web site, but they are out there.

Money is relatif,you have choice to pay the crasy price for something or working on photo-shop has Luc has done.I know how much time that he put for the quality of his overlay.Realy nice work Luc,and like we say: "It's only pinball"
wish list : Big house? yes big house,not the pinball gottlieb's,real big house for more machine

tried out a new clear (Red Line 2 parts , 4:1 mix)with my sample overlay,put on the overlay on a piece of plywood that i had cleared before.came out pretty good...Im happy!!! Ill put hooks on it and hang it in my game room,i think it'll look pretty cool. This week ill sand down the scrap pf and prep it up for the final version.
