Opening a file on one of Clay's web pages
« on: January 08, 2009, 11:03:14 AM »
Have been wanting to do the final stages of the Apollo respray but the weather has not been kind so started on another rebuild last night on my Gottlieb Goucho from 1963. This game has a roto target which was pulled apart last night. So I will need to do the numbering on the targets faces again as they are hammered. So went to download the targets to take them to a print shop to print off on white adhesive backed paper.

Do you think I can open the file? Can anybody help?

All I need is the file opened and returned to pinballoz@yahoo.com

http://marvin3m.com/roto/index.htm

I have tried to load (and to extract the files) using PKUNZIP as in the guide with zero luck

Thanks in advance if anybody can help!!!

I used Winrar to extract the first file - it was a *.pcx file. I don't have any application that opens that *.pcx file..

Tony, you need something like Irfanview to view the PCX files. Anyway, I have converted them to JPG for you and attached them. Hope it's what you want.

Just one more question....if I take this to a print shop (Officeworks here has one) what do I ask for?

Any suggestions what to get it printed out on?

Dont bother with Officeworks,was in there last week & asked if they could print some apron bally art on self adhesive photo paper - they couldnt & they dont have A4 self adhesive paper -so to cut a long story short I purchased 100 sheets off ebay. The only thing is you can only use a inkjet printer (Not sure how the mylar will affect the ink).Let me know if you want me to print some tonight for you try - Havent printed anything yet,not sure how they will come out.

I don't really know - other than the adhesive transparent stuff I used was SUPER thin.. I think I got it from officeworks.

I usually print on white adhesive paper and then mylar over thtop ?

Surely I can take the file to some printer and get these made as per the decals PBR offers?

http://www.pbresource.com/plastic/gtb-rotoscow.jpg

This would eliminate the need to reapply mylar over the top?

Also I am just about to clean up 3 stationary targets for this game and hopefully be able to do the same.

Of course you can - We are just tight asses !!!

Try Snap Printing - they were cheap when I needed to do an Apron.
