I have plenty of used ones, but also I should have new ones as well that would suit. Better to use new ones mate.


Thanks mate. I might need some other bits too and if you can help that would be awesome. I will take a look at the other plastics and send you a PM. Cheers!

Whenever you are ready.

Sweet just took a look and this is what I have:



So I need all 4 of the large ones (all have cracks).
And 2 of the small ones. One of those is sweet but the other has a crack. So 1 will be fine if you don't have new.

And the 2 red lane guides from the bottom are stuffed. So 2 white ones of those as well. Where do you buy this stuff from? Wouldn't mind checking out some sites.

One more thing. Are there replacements for those clear plastic sheet thingys on the base of the pops? Or do you guys just cut your own? Easy enough I suppose but cutting a tidy circle can be tricky.

Another thing (sorry guys) can I get translucent inserts for this machine? Or do you think I should keep the milky ones?



Any other parts you need let me know i parted out a Fast draw not that long ago  ^^^

Oh,

If Strangeways can't help then perhaps you might be able to. Do you still have the playfield? Wouldn't mind another to hang on the wall with the same art.

Thanks!

Spacies ;

If you want to look at ordering other parts - like flipper rebuild kits you might have to look at www.pbresource.com. They sell all the bits you need BUT - it is a difficult ordering process if you are not used to it.

Sponsors have some parts ;

The red "tent style" are hard to find. I'll check to see if I have some old ones.

The pop bumper mylar (non adhesive) are here

Awesome cheers.

I don't need anything from PB (flippers work ok) as I can get most between the sponsors sites. Yeah seems the only thing will be the tent plastics.

I will wait to see what you have and ddstoys before I put the word out.

I can polish up the pops body but may need some caps too.

Thanks again.

Yeah mate, I thought of that just after I posted  *!@  I can print a big one and even cut out the inserts for the lights too. Awesome.

Less posting and more finding parts please  <.>

Oh,

White and yellow, hmmm. Is the yellow painted on? I could paint it blue, pink or green.

Thanks for having a look mate.

A small update.

I did a test print at Hamishs place on A3 paper and taped them together:



Overlayed it on the playfield and found it was a bit short. So my measurement were off  !@)



Since that shot I have changed a bit of the art. I will update that soon.

I also had a go at the backglass:





I think I will call it RACE? and have RPM on the inserts. Thoughts?

Over the weekend I sanded the art off the playfield, removed all the inserts because I am going to make some new ones, sanded the  bottom apron and the metal apron thing at the top. Also the cover over the shooter, the side rails and prepped the head box. I only have the actual cabinet to prep then spray some paint on everything. Oh and the pops will get some paint too.

Man, so much to do, so little time to do it :(

Love the theme, this is going to come up fantastic.

Not sure on the name though personally, for mine it is a little plain. This pin deserves a more fitting title I reckon.

If you are going Ed Roth style why not something like Reaper Racers, or a drag racing theme like Monster Mile! Track Monsters maybe.

I like the style for the RPM backglass name it is more eerie looking.

WOW awesome work so far mate!  ()
I like the RPM backglass better, but only my  :2cents:
'Race?' isn't quite catchy enough to me
