Very good point, from now on we know how to get Mark to give eBay feedback quickly.

what is the going rate for translites these days?
how much is to much?

Couldn't advise re price...Thankfully I've been able to clean all of mine.

PinballJoe71 on Ebay seems to advertise lots on a regular basis.  I'm pretty sure he also owns BCW in Campbellfield VIC.

It might be worth sending him an email to see if he can get one in....Better to pay 1/20th of the postage rather than importing 1 on its own.

I'm not sure if he is a member on here yet or not...

I've only ever bought one machine from there, which was clean and had been shopped very nicely.

for a translite that is rated 8 out of 10 including postage + insurance + track and trace it will work out to $120 aus.
a little steep i think i will wait and see if i can get one in aus.
but then again i have seen some local translites going for more on ebay.

Well i got my translite
After first buying a new repo first and sending it back.
The repo one was shocking.
I would have had to cut out the area in front of the the displays as it was printed on a opaque piece of plastic not clear.
Then i would have had to stick lettering to the back of it where the "ball in play" & "match" lights go because these areas had no lettering.
also it had 2 different shades of color (like when you print something with your printer and it is low on ink)

The second one i bought is about a 7 out of 10, it has a few areas which light is shining through.
but i should be able to repair most of it.

And the new score displays are on the way

Well here she is all fitted with the new led displays and new back glass + second hand translite.  ^^^
Still waiting on the back glass trim.

Looking good. The LED conversion certainly works OK, doesn't it.

Looks good beaky.   Having to cut your own score display windows how bad is that i would have stuffed that up for sure !@#

Post by: beaky on August 09, 2009, 01:21:21 PM
after pricing up a set of second hand displays and master display board it worked out about the same price as i also would have had to buy  a new glass or 2 for them also.
and these type of led displays were a little harder to find, no one on ebay ever seems to sell them.
