    Quoted from pinhead52:

    And if you really want to get fancy rubberstamps.com you can get a 1 in by 3 inch stamp for $16. with the rubber stamp you can play lots of aging tricks etc

    Ken,

    My admittedly 'anal' observation.

    Stamp is $27 plus shipping and you can use it once plus it is not the the same font from as the original Gottlieb cabinet numbers? A decal is no more than a dollar. for the first game and zero for the next 4 or 5.

    I made the PDF's exactly (per my eyes) from scans from 4 Gottlieb games (Slick Chick, Kings & Queens, Astro and C37). Possibly if you want the to use a stamp use my numbers and get it exact. Boilerman also said that from his experience the numbers were not always aligned.

    Great ideas for reproducing the numbers guys I just like the way Dave (Boilerman) advised me to make as the cost is pennies and no software needed.

    Seeing that Wayne and Ken wanted non aged letters I made a second pdf this morning and will add to my thread as well.
    Here are the revised exact letters.

    Quoted from pinhead52:

    there is a $16 stamp, yes use once. Pimp charges me $20 for his stencil.
    So you print on waterslide decal. just doesnt seem right

    LOL,

    Ken, We repaint Cabinets but demur on adding a perfect lettered cabinet decal in place of a stamp?

    Quoted from leckmeck:

    Thanks for the PDF, Steve. That eliminates one step from my technique.

    Leckmeck,
    I believe it was the attached topic you made that started me thinking how I could make the serial # with what tools I had at my disposal. The stamp you made was clever.
