Awesome, love Black Hole. Sounds like a bit of trauma getting the cab right but it looks so sweet now.

What is it with these stencil guys?? The last one I did (Joker Poker) had so may issues I needed to work around.
Now these ones - different supplier - well, seems the idea of using something like a measuring device was outside scope - hopelessly short of the correct length.

I call it the pinball hobby. Wrong sizing, wrong colours, wrong artwork and that goes for stencils, plastics, apron decals, you name it they get it wrong. I think Stevie Wonder oversees most of these runs lol

Eventhough you had all the hassles, I think you really well and the cab has turned out fantastic. Great work and great result

Try dealing with this on a daily basis ! It is like Stevie Wonder alright - without braille..

I haven't fired her up yet, but in case there's a fire, thought I'd better finish the photos anyway!

Thanks guys. No fire alarms fortunately. A few switch tweaks and re-seating a connector, traced a couple of wires broken during the swap, and its all good to go!
