I just stumbled onto this great thread. Nice work!! I bought a witch a few months after getting into the hobby in 2008. I sold the game a few months later for funds to buy another game. This was when I learned that I need to be patient and also found out how small the pinhead community really is. Not long after selling it, I found a NOS pf on epay. Again, I was inpatient and needing cash. This was around 2009. Now that I'm a little wiser, I bought another witch about 2 years ago. Cab is rough but pf not too bad on this one. Glass is touched up. When I learned the Greatwich is going to repro the pf, I excited and started chatting with him. It turns out that the PF I sold is the PF that was used to make the scans for the repro. I also emailed the buyer of that pf and asked if he would sell it back and of course I got no reply.

I have a couple of questions. Who is Noah Fense? Does he build repro cabs? also what is Friskett? Do you have a color match for the bluish green?

I have done 7 Bally stern restos so far. I want to do my witch and a Meteor. Both have really rough cabs. I can do the work but don't have the time to invest that I would like.

Quoted from dothedoo:

There isn't a bluish-green color on the playfield. There are two blues and a green. The green would not be hard to match, but the problem is it's dithered, which is why it gives that blue-green appearance.

Thanks I was referring to the cabinet, I should have specified that.

Quoted from Classic_Stern:

Correct flipper bushing. You have to add the copper washer. That is how they came from factory. About 1/16th of inch.

This is interesting, out of all the Bally/Stern pins I have worked on, none of them had washers between the bushing and flipper. Does anyone carry these? Can I use brass washers instead?

Quoted from seshpilot:

Great questions! I'd love to hear the answer as well (though I'm sure any #10 brass washer would work just fine). Why brass too?

I don't have any copper washers on hand but I do have some brass...
