translites arrived - unreal
« on: October 09, 2009, 11:15:23 AM »
a huge thankyou to Pinfan who put me onto a seller in the USA for 2 x star trek 25th Anniversary translites i was desperately looking for.
They arrived from the states today and they are excellent quality and will look 1 million percent better than the crap repro ones i had on my 2 x mint star treks.

what a top bloke Pinfan is for helping me out like that.Without those 2 x new translites, I would have been unhappy with those machines forever. I will try n post some pics of before and after.

new ones so much better.Thanks Pinfan.  ^^^  ^^^  ^^^  ^^^  ^^^  ^^^  ^^^  ^^^  ^^^  ^^^  ^^^  ^^^  ^^^  ^^^  ^^^  ^^^

Well, i replaced one of the translites on STAR TREK 25TH tonight and it came up a treat. its far better and the difference is huge.
I will do the second machine over the weekend.

It only takes a few mins but business is very busy.time is always a short commodity in the security industry.
*if anyone in QLD ever needs an Alarm system installed to keep your gamesroom/house safe, at mates rates minus alot more, give me a yell.
I looked after Tony from the Pinball Shed recently and made the place like fort knox.Most companies charge 1500 to 2500, i can look after anyone with the best Bosch equipment for around $800 cost, fully installed with remotes, the whole shooting match.note-Alarm can ring your mobile phone or u can go with professional monitoring.I will seek out the sponsor section and how i can list something for members.
 
Back to the translite,the excellent reproduction ones arent as good as original NOS but they are close. say 80% as good,but 80% is better than 20 percent, all day long.Anyway, Pinfan is a legend and i hope i can repay him oneday for the heads up.cheers. ^^^
