Quoted from ThePostmaster:No Data East table? I need a DE table!!! (I don't count Sega as DE)
Bill, these were custom made. He can do anything! It was a cool experience working with him, picking colors, logos, and style. Im sure he can do whatever you want.
Quoted from TheLaw:Like the cut of that cat's jib. Do you ever wonder what he would look like with a handlebar instead of a horseshoe?
Shes such a cutie. My boy asked why she is a girl but she has a stache! Kids.. Lol!
That pic was her standing up and staring me in the face. She didn't care that I was watching TV. It was dinner time. 
Quoted from practicalsteve:Those look great! May I ask how much he is charging?
Sure, Zach said he'd charge between 125-135 per, depending on material costs. These were all hand made, the decals are automotive decal stickers put on post-clear. They've been painted, cleared and wrapped in weatherstripping for the rubber. This looks pretty cool, close to the real "rubber", and protects the cabinets from getting damaged. Pretty sure they are white oak, tho don't quote me on that. They are sturdy and are about 30" tall, so they come up to just below the flipper buttons.

Cool idea, and I agree that if they were shaped like a flipper, it would even be cooler.
These look like they'd be unstable, with a high center of gravity and small footprint, especially when there was stuff populating the top.
How stable are they?
Quoted from epotech:Should have made them flipper shaped, good idea though.
Must be the angle of the shot, but they are shaped like flippers, looking at above the photos, I can see why you'd think they are not. Weird.
I'll try to take a better shot to get the angle down.
They aren't a 100% representation of a flipper, which I like. If they came to a near point like true flippers, the entire front of the table would be virtually unusable because of how skinny it would be.

On Berber carpet, they stand up great. I wouldnt go standing on them to change a lightbulb or anything, but they arent that "tippy". They were also designed to be placed between two pinball tables, so they'd have a had time actually tipping over. Zach put a good amount of weight in the bottom of them to help center them. If one was put in the center of the room, you could tip it over by pushing it, but as stated, they were designed to be placed between 2 pins.
Quoted from snyper2099:Sorry but those things you call tables are fuuuuuugly!
Thanks for the insight.
