Hot Hand translites

[ralph67]

Just received pics of completed translite for Stern "Hot Hand" made by jeff at classic arcades. Im getting a couple for the 2 hot hands that ive restored. and im really impressed with the finished product! Im sure he will have extras for sale.  Every backglass ive seen has been faded and flaking.. hope you like..ps will post before and after pics from my machine when they arrive

Look forward to seeing your machine with one .

Hi Ralph

they look good - if you have not already ordered would you mind ordering an extra for me?  Should work out cheaper postage wise and I have two to get going at some point in the future!

cheers

[/quoteHi Ian  he's already posted them,  but give him a email soon sounds like they will be popular! Now that he's done the hard work he can print anytime. ill give you a call on sunday  I should of posted the early shot that he sent, as i asked him if he would produce them and he emailed a invoice thru 30mins later! saying he has a backglass to work of and if i paid he would start! the cost $230 plus $35 postage for 2 which is very reasonable i think, as he said they were "way harder than he thought" to make

Just installed the "Hot Hand" translite into my machine and quite happy with the results. These pics for your viewing pleasure! The other shots are of the original backglass which had some resto work mainly the lower section. The new translite does have slightly changed artwork on the "Cards" but the rest is correct and the colours are spot on really vibrant compared to the faded original

Looks great.  Mine should arrive this week. 

One thing I noticed was that he didn't make the Stern logo light up.  He said he could add that to the one he knocked up for me, so we'll see how that goes.

Im not sure  about the 90'  translite thing but there brand new, im pretty sure this is the first batch i know of . I did have to trim off about 2mm from the bottom of the translite which alined  the score displays better aswell and i used glass not tempered as you cant get 3mm glass that is strengthtend and when i installed them. I put the side trims first then the bottom metal trim and lastly the top trim.
