Great News

I had an email conversation with Wade Krause today about making the Gottlieb Atlantis Playfields and all we need is the commitment of 20 folks for this project to happen.

Why am I pushing for this? Most likely because I am picking up a new to me Atlantis in a week that could use a new Playfield.

If you are interested you must pm me your contact info and i'll post a updated list as we move forward obtaining commitments. I will post a thread in RGP as well as Pinside, so please only respond to one or the other online.

The price should be about what the others have been going for in the 500.00 range. The timing for production would not be until 2016 sometime, but we must have commitments now to be put on the waiting list

Well I am in for one, how about you? only 19 more left.

8/8/15 Edit: Looks like the price has gone up a bit so figure on a Playfield costing $600.00 + Shipping which is currently $60.00, but the great news is that Wade has committed to reproducing these.

10/20/16 Edit: All Playfields Sold! Thanks again to Wade for making these and those of you who committed to buy one or more to make this happen.

Things are looking really good so far. In one day we already have tentatively 9 folks wanting in.

I'm sure there will be more folks jumping aboard very soon.

Ken

WOW!

14 people so far wanting at least one Playfield each and it's only been a day and a half since this thread has been posted!

Still room guys. 20 is the minimum but I am sure we are going to go over that number in no time, and yes more is better.

Ken

Now at 16 and climbing in less than 2 days! Amazing!

Ken

Now 17!

Thanks for your support on this project guys! Almost there!

Ken

Fabulous!

Ron Webb already has new Backglasses available: http://pinballglass.homestead.com/

Ken

Hotdog! We made our 20 in less than 2 days!

Could not have done it without you guys!

Thank You!

Anyone else who wants one or more feel free to ask here as the more the merrier!

Hee-Haw!

Ken

Awesome News Guys!

Wade got back to me and said that Atlantis is now officially on his to do list all thanks to you and the guys on RGP!

All he needs now is for someone with a Playfield local to him to copy from. Please contact Wade directly if you can help with this: [email protected]

and now for some not so interesting breaking news...............................

Ken

News Flash!

Ken

You just did.

Ken

Great that this title is so popular that we will get a new Playfield for it, and so is Wade as he is monitoring this and a RGP thread regarding Atlantis.

Ken

Looks like Wade has this covered as he is actually likes the game so much he is buying one for himself so now he can copy the Artwork from it

Ken

The more the merrier.

At this rate Wade will have his work cut out for him for a while reproducing this title alone, but I'm sure he is completely happy with that.

Ken

Currently $600.00 + $60.00 shipping.

Ken

Still well worth it IMO. My K&Q's Playfield that Wade did is the bomb!

Ken

Hey folks.

Talked to Wade a few days back and after Knock Out Playfields are done he will start on Atlantis Playfields in March 2016, maybe sooner. Looks like these will hopefully be ready to sell mid year. To secure one of these you need to get a hold of Wade Directly and would strongly suggest putting down a deposit a.s.a.p. as quantities are limited.

Here is his contact info: [email protected]

Take Care,

Ken

Looks like Wade is boxing one up for me in the next day or so as I paid in full months ago for one.

He said he does not have them all done yet for whatever reason but they are starting to roll off the assembly line which is way cool.

I would shoot him an email. Just my 2 cents.

Mine was shipped yesterday, Wade said it will hopefully arrive Monday..

Same with my new Atlantis I am getting from Pinhead52. Very nice playfield, so I will just hold on to my new playfield for now as I have 3 other machines I have to get to first.

Sure won't be me.

Just arrived 5 minutes ago. What could it be? A giant book? A huge TV tray? A big modern art masterpiece?

Ha! ha!

Unless I get real anal and need a perfect Playfield.

It is a big modern art masterpiece! Thank You Wade!

Yep. When yours arrives make sure to look out for the white roll over stars as they are not in a zip lock and packed loose, I got 4.

I know when I took the polls there were 50+ Playfields wanted and he makes 30, but a few folks will back out for whatever reason so there might be a few left once all the guys who have deposits or paid in full get theirs.

Just contact Wade to find out.

I only have bought a K&Q before I got Atlantis. Here is a pic of the restored machine new playfield and all:

Wow!

Hope no one was hurt or it would be upgraded to an awful day.

Yea, I hear ya. I really hate those Rat Bastards who are just looking to make a buck.

I think he is more of a Rat Fink than a Rat Bastard.
