Title: !!!!!!!! FLIPPERESCUE - HUGE NEWS!!!!!!!!!
Post by: Retropin on March 10, 2010, 09:36:42 AM

FLIPPERESCUE is pleased to announce that they have been granted permission by Gottlieb Development LLC to produce cabinet stencils for Gottlieb® machines.This is a first for Australian pinball and  if used correctly, the stencils will help pinball owners to reproduce cabinet artwork to originality.
All our stencils are verified by Gottlieb Development LLC and found to be true to the original designs.
Each stencil is made from Premium Spray Mask material with a paper backing for easy application and included will be colour codes to help you match the original colours.
FLIPPERESCUE has experimented with various vinyl and backings and believe that what we have on offer is by far the easiest to use whilst maintaining  a high quality product.
At present our inventory is small but growing steadily and as time progresses we will have more and more titles to offer.
You can view all our products on our website www.flipperescue.com. Please keep returning to the site for any updates, we hope to be adding a selection of new stencils every month.
Stencils are one of the exciting products that FLIPPERESCUE can offer.. we will have many more products for your machines and gamesroom coming soon. Many are in prototype stage and many more are planned for next year
Stay tuned for more exciting news as it comes.

Thanks everyone for the support both on here and the emails i ve had this morning.

The website will be fully functional soon and prices attached to each item.
Obviously, this service is for cabinet restoration.. i also need feedback from all of you.. also suggestions for what you would like to see available.
I have a list of titles coming up, but if anyone has a Gottlieb® machine that they need a stencil for, then let me know, we can push through any orders.
As i said before... stencils are just the start... FLIPPERESCUE will be HUGE for Australian pinball enthusiasts. We will be adding many more products and as these become available, ill be sure to let you all know.

Cheers!!!!

Gav

Hey Gave, seeing your OK to do stencils here's a thought. With todays printing technology being so good, how about creating decals as well for those older pins.
This would save alot of time painting ect, and you would be guaranteed a pro job everytime.

Cant be done mate. Gottlieb®  realise the importance of pinball restoration.. it keeps machines alive and also the Gottlieb® name.
But it is restoration only and as such you can only bring your machine back to ORIGINAL condition, therefore if your machine was sprayed, its restoration MUST use this method also. The method of stencil making may have changed over time, but its results are the same. Approved decals will never be made for these machines
