Title: Wanted Hankin Shark Bumper Plastics
Post by: punkin on January 20, 2021, 09:23:02 AM
Hi team, wondering if these have been reproduced or if anyone has some NOS or spares sitting around.
My new to me Shark has one missing and the others discoloured.


What a great machine too! The art is exceptional, and it plays really well. Definitely a welcome addition.

You will find them very hard to find.
It took me six years of searching to find one.
So it's possible.
Some may have decals for these though.

You can get blank blue starburst tops and have them pad printed.

Got a link to the process or a search term for me to start with toads? And is it just a gottlieb standard top?

They would be the same as Bally pop caps.

I recreated them once from blank caps for a Shark i did about seven yrs ago.
Made decals and stuck them to the blank caps and cleared them.. saw the machine a few months ago when i picked up a couple of games from the owner and they still look as good as the day i made them.

I think i should still have the art file somewhere... will have a look.

Too long ago for me to remember, too many brain cells gone.
It was around 15 years ago I did mine.
Back then taking them down to a printers to do was cheap but I guess not these days.
I think they are called water slide decals but I have never used them.
