wtb. early stern apron

[studley67]

i am looking for a stern apron 78-85 approx.any condition,please message me.regards damien added machine is wild fyre

[Rod71]

What game is it for?.

There's a few design variations. Eg, up til around Hot Hand or Magic in 1979 they used the generic red white and blue design. If that is the one you are after, i think Retropin (Gavin) has made a decal, or made stencils for one in the past. Perhaps you could contact him and see what the go is.

Not easy to find a decent used one, as they suffer easy paint loss like the Gottlieb ones from the same era.

Good luck

[Retropin]

Lol- I hate aprons - they all seem to suffer paint loss. The paint on these is so thin and the lack of primer just adds to the problems..


But if its one of these you are after, then i think i still have the stencil file

thanks tony,have just seen it however i need the metalwork.mine is missing

[Rod71]

The decals from Pinball Rescue will make your search easier. You could even use one from a later game like Meteor etc that had a different design. Spray it white and apply new decal.

You could buy this off Mark.

Has the apron, plus you'll be able to use some of the other hardware for your game. Then re sell the playfield once you have finished with it.

Did you end up finding an apron?.

Here's one on eBay US which could be cheap depending on the shipping.

Shit. Sorry mate 

But they do pop up all the time on eBay US, and you can use any apron from any standard width Stern game. They are all the same basic shape.

i had given up finding one so i bid on 4 bally and one williams from us and shit i won them all.i have a nice bally one that will do the job,maybe decal it.

Hi Damien

sorry for the late reply but I would have the correct apron around somewhere - you would probably want to re-decal it.  If you cannot make the Bally one fit let me know and you can have one for the cost of postage.

cheers
