Do you collect Pinball translites ?
« on: February 27, 2016, 10:13:58 PM »
Do u collect pinball translites ?

Whether it be a signed spare one for your game or just collect them for their artwork, do u collect translites and do u display them or have them tucked away ?

If u do collect them, do u have 1 or 100 ?

Anything else you want to add feel welcome incl photos or lists of your translites or spare playfield toys etc.  ^^^

Yes, pinball flyers are also a must have & I have to admit I have collected hundreds.
I want to talk Officeworks into a bulk but very very cheap rate to copy them all so I can share with anyone who wants to share costs to get a great collection of them.

So yeh, translites or pin flyers or spare playfields or spare PF toys, share your interest on it all please guys.
Maybe you've got something special or an extra that anther member may like.

I am working on a lightweight inexpensive backlit framing system with backlit Led strips that the translites can sit in and go on the wall and show off the translites.
Working on static backlight or fade in/fade out controller stuff.
Also working on a rechargeable lithium battery set up so no power cords coming from lit translite when on wall.

Will have something to show within a few months.
Been on this idea for a while and had the idea for ages cause I saw a big market for it.
Stay tuned Pete.
