WHIRLWIND questions
« on: October 25, 2011, 11:20:51 AM »
Those of you that know me would know that I have been wanting a Whirlwind for years....well my precious will be in my gamesroom shortly and I cannot wait!!
I'll be looking to spruce this baby up straight away so I have a couple of questions before it arrives:
Are all the insert and backbox bulbs 555's ?
Has anyone done a colour match on the cabinet ?
Are plastics available, where from ?
Are pinball pro speakers available in Australia, local distributer?
Cheers Gav

Your right there Greg, it has taken me this long to find one that I think will be a good starting point for what I am after. You still got yours?

Great title - Next in my resto Q.

I'm not sure about a FULL plastics set - maybe CPR will do them at the time of the repro playfield. The cab decal sets are on eBay.

My cab is pretty nice so I don't think I will re-decal, just need to match up the colours for a few touch ups
