This has got to be the worst "mod" I have ever seen! Talk about wreck the game!
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/attack-mars-pinball-full-stickers-set-/120622730638?pt=AU_CoinOp&hash=item1c15accd8e
I also love the way this particular machine is "awaiting a full body resticker (originals nos)" - I would have thought that nos decals would be pretty unusable 15 years later? And weren't these games screened - pretty sure mine is, so how could they be nos?

I'd be very wary. This guy also runs a print shop from memory.......... #@#

I like this guys thinking
one ad two items
1. sticker set for sale
2. oh by the way the games for sale talk about saving a buck !@#
-
Ruined a beautiful game. ^&^
What were they thinking ?
-
I like the backbox mod (which can always be removed anyway) but i dont like the other sticker mods. Each to their own.
Nothing wrong with giving it a go. Someone else out there may love it ! !@#
-
Ewwww that's all I'm going to say

I think you should contact him and find out if he will do a custom sticker set for BBB!!
()
It will make the game worth thousands more <.>

I'll do that, right after I get that frontal lobotomy out of the way.. .. ..

I visited capital pinball a couple of weeks ago. He showed me this AFM, the stickers look ok but it won't be for everyone. As for the prices of his pins........ %.%
No chance. He has a Cactus Canyon that he wants over 15k for.......and it ain't mint I can assure you. Wants to charge me 6k for a LOTR and I couldn't even look at it because it is out on site.

2 minutes talking to this guy (well, 2 words from you and the rest from him) would be enough, wouldn't it?

Spot on with your comments. Mod ordinary, cab decals also a mod as cabs were screened as original.

OK sorry to say this but I HAVE to say this FOOL of a man has just uttelry p*ssed me off.
He has been emailing me about the FH I have for sale on Ebay and treating me like a complete noob.
Today he sends me a message that says " I took another look at your game and I am willing to offer you $2500.00 as it has broken ramps and is an import" ( I have it listed as a 3k start price )
I mean F*CK ME - did he even LOOK at my game?
Naturally the reply to this complete IDIOT stated that I knew he RIPPED PEOPLE OFF with his pricing of games and I said a bit more. What a complete and utter TOOL of a man %%$ !!@ %%$
-
hmmm
nice questions and answers too from Sarah
still not for everyone but I am sure some will like them , just like the addams and twilight back board ones
-
:lol :lol So this LUNATIC emails me back and says that it is people like ME and US collectors driving the prices up on games !@#
Oh - HOW does he come to that conclusion you ask - OK.....
He says it is because we buy them , and ( wait for this ) .............fix them up and restore them ^&^
OMG I think I have found my new best mate in the industry @.@
I have a special knack for bringing out the best in people :lol

While the original post was because of the decals themselves and the BS claim, I have had my own experience with this piece of work Wotto, you're not alone mate!!

Yeah sorry to hijack the thread - but I had to vent - sorry.
Now back on track......how poxy are these guys decals #@#

+1
I have been trying to refrain from telling a story from my experience with him........there are some special people out there that's for sure.

I think I know this character - I was looking for a Gottlieb Spirit years ago, and he had one. It was decribed as in working condition and "shopped". Found out that it had dropped off the back of a truck and was in pieces. Once they knew I knew the REAL condition, they were prepared to drop the price from $2500, to $2000. ^%^
Wotto - I'll bet this character has a buyer lined up for your machine, so he wants it cheap so he can onsell it for $5000. But I'll bet he will describe it as one of his own "restored" machines, or install CRAPPY decals (like ATM).
I would add him to your "banned eBayer" lists.
"Broken Ramps" is a classic - I guess he does not know how to use the internet to look at your webpage.
So what does he sell ? I guess ONLY Hankins (made in Australia), because he obviously does not like imports !!@

I might hijack this thread, not all cabinet decals are that bad, some look quite at home.
EG my Junkyard....

That does look good Angelo I've seen a couple of good cabinet decals can't remember what they were. I did like the backbox of the afm but them space ships. Ewww
-
I reckon side art finishes off a game. All mine have the standard black and wish they were more interesting. Maybe someone here with the skill and artist flair can start designing some and might start a whole new business for themselves. Dunno what do others reckon?

Great idea. There's some great "mods" out there already - I particularly like the Terminator 2 mirrored sidewalls - they look great. Angelo's machine looks VERY professional and it suits the machine.
-
Thanks for the comments guys, I also have done my Indy 500.
The most amusing thing is that this guy has directley copied the kit from Treasure Cove.........

Forget the side art, i'd rather take Angelo's Linear Power amps.
