Daniel, tell your brother that has come up great.  Better than I thought it would when I had the machine here.

Well Done.

Well the parts arrive to make torch playable and i must say its not a bad game for a system 1.   All the hard work payed off when my brother played his first game he was so excited @@*    Only a few minor jobs left.

Job 1 Roll under gate ( Thanks Skybeaux )
Job 2 Roto target repair (Again thanks Skybeaux)
Job 3 Apron and arch artwork decals
job 4 Get a high score he will never beat   %.% %.% %.% %.% %.%

Well after all the work scanning, touch up and editing the apron and ball arch artwork i printed out a decal for the apron.     

DISSASTER   looked great on the printed out decal with the white backing but as soon as the white was removed and put onto the purple the yellow and orange turned brown.. @.@

   So a lesson for anyone thinking of trying this unless the apron is white dont waste your time   #(&

Well thanks to Kev who sent me down some White decal papers to try on the apron.      Seems to have worked ok biggest problem is ive had to cut out each color and shape and place them on one at a time what a nightmare but looks better than the plain purple.   Couldnt add the gottlieb bit as i had no way to cut out the fine detail so we are just going to add the Pascal Magnet we got with the All in one board.

Once its dry ill clean it up and give it a clear coat then report back  ^^^

Looks great Daniel. Rather that cut and fit each shape separately, another way might've been to fill the white sections with a matching purple before you printed your decal (in photoshop etc) im guessing you used something like that to create the decal?? I use Arcsoft Photostudio (came with my Canon scanner) to do this type of thing.

Just a thought, thats how i'd try to get around the problem anyway. I KNOW it'd be a BITCH trying to get a good match for that purple too! Anyway like i said.. looks great what you've done ^^^

Cheers... Mitch

Yes i did try matching the purple i even tried to scan the apron purple into the printer but it kept coming out crap.   I did purple fill the shooter gauge as i had no choice looks ok tucked away down there but would stand out like dogs balls on top of the apron

What gives with the Intel Inside sticker?

It's a Pascal Janin thing - it says (from memory, I didn't keep mine) P1-x1 Inside meaning his board set.
“If you wanna escape, go up to a pinball machine. There’s a magic button on the front that takes you to a world under the glass and makes the the rest of the universe disappear.”
