Great Pinball News
« on: June 12, 2013, 01:23:41 PM »
Just found out that I will now be able to produce EM glass for Bally & Williams. It's been awhile working through this with Rick Bartlett, Planetary Pinball. Lucky Strike is the first glass ok, others to follow likely August on. In talks with Shay & Webb for Gottlieb glass production. Improvements to all my future Stern & other glass titles, with double uv ink for color & white, black blocking for WMS product & gray blocking for Gottlieb & Stern. New Stern Star Gazer & Seawitch playfields this fall for pre order group of buyers. Moving into playfield production with these 2 titles to start. I will be at Expo again this year speaking & have a booth.

Also moving onto pinball conversions with new art packages. Dolly Parton re-theme already has playfield art done, & started glass & cabinet art. You can see the art on pinside, look for Dolly Parton conversion. Probably done before Star Gazer & Seawitch playfields for xmas.

I now have UPS shipping mainly for Europe & Australia, switching my USA shipments also. Not because the postal system was bad in Canada/USA, but because I need to do a volume to get UPS pricing for overseas. Postal system wouldn't allow my box shipments to Australia.

Dolly Parton conversion art is nearing completion.

Just a update: No glass partnership with Shay, Webb, or others. Still looking to work with others or people with art files. I'm licensed with Gottlieb LLC & Planetary Pinball. But I have to verify titles are available or ok to do. Donated 4 back glass @ expo for charity auction.

No to Hulk or other 3rd party stuff. Too expensive & risky for projects.
