Back in Stock: WWF Royal Rumble Prototype Trans

NOTE: Had a few people ask for these, so I got a handful more printed. If you are interested, please PM me. Price is $75 shipped in US, $100 worldwide.

Long story short, I had a WWFRR Prototype repro trans lite. It wasn’t the best. It looked kinda grainy/pixelated, and I wanted a better one.

So I got it scanned. I retouched it a bit, but still wasn't happy with it. I then contacted Aurich (he of the Shadow and Helen AC/DC trans) to help me retouch it. After working on it a bit, IMHO it looks MUCH better than my original repro did. I had it printed in the same manner as his Shadow trans, which as anyone who has one can tell you is the best quality trans you can get. Not off some crummy inkjet, but done on true photographic trans. So yes, it looks quite good. I’ve never seen an original prototype, so maybe they look a lot better...but I think this looks pretty darn nice. Pictures of it are attached.

Should add it's a bit tricky to photograph these things backlit. Trust me, looks way better in person. The only difference from what you see in the picture is we’re moving the image down a bit so that the Royal Rumble logo isn’t so close to the top.

I know a few folks want this, so I’m doing a run of them with the printer. Price for the trans is $75 shipped in the USA, $100 overseas. PM me if interested.

Should have them within the next two weeks. Maybe sooner if we get lucky.

Just discovered something else...on this trans, there is a flasher right behind the WWF logo. Looks very cool with it blinking like that!

I won't have 75 in my disposable cash in time, so I need to pass for now (can't buy everything ;P). Maybe I can jump in if you do a second run.

Thanks for taking this on! You don't know how many times pinball friends have said, "You really should get that prototype translite"...and they are completely right!

Just did a complete tear-down and shop out/rebuild of my WWF. I got the game over year ago and now just got to it. Took me two months. My plastic ramp has a small crack on the lower bottom left just below the small metal ramp protector. I wish DE would have made those small ramp protectors a little bigger to cover more of the ramp entrance. I used some thin CA and then I put some thin double sided tape between the metal ramp protector and the ramp plastic to absorb some of the impact/shock before re-installing it. I wish James at Pinball Inc. would do these WWF ramps and Cliffy would do repro metal ramp protectors that are larger to reinforce the ramp entrance. They are sorely needed.
