Can anyone out there post a photo or two of a Williams "Darts" in a woodrail cabinet? There are none on IPDB either, so maybe send them over there as well.
I'm thinking about putting mine in a woodrail cabinet. I have an empty "3-D" cabinet that I think would look pretty good, but I'm curious what the correct design looks like.

Hmm. Never considered the coin slot arrangement. I didn't realize that the woodrail version is so scarce. I wonder how rare it is, say compared with Gottlieb''s "Flipper" woodrail versus metal rail versions.
I think Shay might have one. I'll ask him.

I am somewhat of a purist, but I'm softening a little with age. I did do the "Guys Dolls"/"Gypsy Queen" cabinet swap, and I'm still good with it.
I had this "3-D" cabinet around, and since I need one "styling of the sixties" lockdown bar (good luck!) and a top glass (slightly wider than standard), I figured swapping "Darts" into a woodrail cabinet (because there are woody versions anyway) would solve several issues. I'm not really crazy about that cabinet anyway, though many of the games made during that run are outstanding.

I did a dry run with the lightbox. Everything fits pretty good. I'm going to install my repro backglass in the finished game.
