Tony(ANT) can u send Jack a email and ask him to make sure that they dont finish the inside of the cabinets with the black paint the way it is in the photo above.
Thats one of my biggest pet hates of any pinball machine construction, is that the black on the inside of the cabinet is not painted to a neat line, and its just a sloppy piss poor minimum effort the way everyone (incl BNIB machines) is done.
The FIRST thing I will be doing when my next few new machines arrive (incl WOZ) is to tape up the inside of the cabinet, get a can of black paint and finish the poorly painted black area so it looks like someone actually cared what the end result would look like. I mean, you go to all the effort to make a pinball machine look beautiful in every way shape n form, and they do a messy slack job of the inside cabinet paint.
It just looks uncared and unfinished properly. I know its hidden inside etc, but am I the only one who thinks an extra 2 minutes worth of effort could be made. (or is it asking too much to have someone place tape on the inside of the cabinet during the construction process cause it will take an extra 30 minutes of effort, and there fore add $2 worth of tape and an extra $15 in labour) Its sad to believe that $17 of saving is the cause of "internal cabinet uglyness". lol
p.s - thanks for the updates Tony. legend as usual.
ps 2 - i was thinking, u could have a large metal type ruler with a nail on each end, sitting on the paint production line, the tech places the straight edge inside the cabinet, bangs the 2 nails partly in with a small hammer, paints then to the straight edge, then removes the metal straight erdge with the claw of the hammer, on both sides of the cabinet. Cabinet edge then done properly. no taping up required. A simple way to get a neat line.
