Today Greg (RTBB Greg) and I spent the day doing an inventory on the original WMS/Bally tooling at IPB.  There are over 250 original injection tools on site and over 300 at varous injection companies.  Most of the tools that are at the injection companies are playfield insert tools IPB is using for their new playfield production the ones remaining on site are for all the other pinball parts like the Judge Dredd topper, drop targets, Diner cup, Black Rose Cannon base/flap and many many more. 

Hope you guy's come across the die used to make the Whitewater waterfall that sits inside the topper.
This is a most wanted item as there are loads of Wh20's world wide in need of this and it seem's that it's the only thing that can not be reproduced because of the cost involved.
Let's hope so because this is at the top of my wanted list.
It sounds like all your Christmas's have come at once, Sorting through all those pallets. Can't wait to hear what goodies turn up next.

Oh yeah, I'd be keen on one of those for my WH2O resto.

Very keen to know if the mold for 'Big Guns' ramps has been found.

I prefer a jaja binx thrown at me instead of plastic posts.
I don't want to be face-impaled like goatboy

yes true  but I can say after 14 / 15 hours days  sorting parts never looked at for years
we could run each other over with the forklifts and still kept going

plus with Tim aka Goat boy  he is a pretty big target .....

Nothing like a bit of workplace harassment to keep the day exciting.
