Very nice Nino,

I will be watching and learning as I have a surf champ (my keeper pin) in the shed waiting for the treatment


if you need artwork for the spinner I have some stencil artwork so you can apply your own small stencils and spray your own. The attachment is just a small pdf version, but have the artwork file if you need.

Thanks VERY much for the artwork, Jady. I usually put new spinners and then the artwork, and finally the mylar.

What makes this title so collectible ? Is it the theme or ?
This one should turn out really well by the looks of it .

I think the theme has a lot to do with it, but the layout with the Drop Targets in a difficult space next to the Pop Bumpers makes it a challenging game. A direct flipper hit to the topmost DT will be obscured so you need to use the pop bumpers. The rollovers add bonus to collect on the outhole. A very cool feature. The game is much more of a player, and it has appreciated in both price and also desirability. GTB managed to make a few excellent 4 players in this era. I prefer the Bally's, but you can see where the designs for future SS machines started from.
