Bad Cats
Williams, 1989Mine arrived Wednesday but I haven't opened them either. Probably should just to make sure I have the slots all cut out. These, like my new BOP ramps, are going to wait to be installed until I either get a repro BC playfield when CPR does them or have someone do a restore on the few tore up areas of my PF.
Quoted from Blipsqueak:I want to wait for new ramps to install these but that could take 5 more years!
No, it'll take 3 more months. We're going to test fit new Pinball Inc. ramps and try and have them ready for Expo in Chicago. We'll be using my machine to do that. I'd do the plastics now. The ramps ARE coming!
Note: We test fit the Doctor Who and AFM ramps on my machines. I have a nice BC to test fit them with.

Is there a website? Or do we order through CPR?
And Al's Bad Cats is VERY NICE. In fact, its the reason I bought one. (Read: my wife loves it and so do I, in fact it's my sons' favorite as well.)
The ramps usually come with decals, can't imagine why they wouldn't though they will likely not be applied when you get the set.
Man, I totally jacked Ralphie's dog house trying to shape it with a hair dryer. It was looking more like an igloo than a doghouse so I just threw in the towel and used my old plastics on the ones I had to shape. Any better tips for getting the sharp bends without bowing the whole thing?
For future reference, is this standard with CPR plastics? I love the quality here (seriously made my players machine shine), but I'd probably shy away from future titles that have several plastics that ship flat.
I believe it is standard and part of the reason they hesitate doing bent plastics. Would like a nice vid tutorial on it but will still be nervous when it comes time. I think it would be nice to have a piece of blank petg thrown in to practice on with this, nothing big, just a scrap. Will find something to practice on first.

Yes, All Pinball Inc. ramps come with decals. They should be available at Pinball Expo and all of the distributors listed on the www.pinballinc.com website (some sooner than others) around Expo time.

Excited for this. Really hope some Cliffy protectors might come up to help protect these. Might just make some myself.
Speaking of which, the DW I bought has some protectors on the ramps but they don't look like cliffy's yet they look professional.

I recommend not doing it until you practice. I should have listened to myself when I said to wait but I really wanted to get them on the game.
This is my first set of CPR plastics. The repros seem twice as durable and look fantastic on the game. I'll sort the bending issue out another day. This set seems to have an unusual amount of ones that needed to be bent.
Can someone who bought the CPR plastics set make my day and sell me their old doghouse piece?
I bought a bad cats last night that is missing the darn doghouse.
PLEASE Help !!!
Quoted from Stu:SNIP//// ..Repro Playfields coming soon as well.....
What the status on this?
I hate to say this, but it doesn't look good for an Expo release for the Bad Cats ramps. Pinball Inc. has had to replenish stock on a lot of existing ramps so they have had to push off this project. They are still hoping to get to it this year though. I'll let everyone know more when I know it.
You are one Bad Cat.
So glad to see some of these excellent sys 11 games are getting the parts they need to stay pretty and playable.

Better late than never! Thanks for the info Al.
Quoted from GUMBO:Somebody PLEASE sell me your old dog house, I'll pay top dollar
I *might* have a complete dog house laying around from a PF I parted out. Let me get home (Friday eve) and take a look for you. I did not throw any plastics away, and I am pretty sure I never sold/gave that one away.
+1 for the new ramps from Pinball Inc. Got my CPR plastics and they are really great. Waiting on them to release the playfields now.
Now if Stu would just show some love for my Game Show....
I'm still desperately seeking someones old doghouse, and could use the lower sling plastics as well.
Top dollar paid 
Quoted from GUMBO:What the status on this?
yes, inquiring minds would like to know...
Check Starship-Fantasy.com , they're a distributor
for CPR. I believe everybody else has sold out already.
Quoted from moto_cat:@ccotenj , I just realized you were referring to the
playfields not plastics , sorry..
'tis ok... 
i should have been clearer, since this is the "plastics" thread anyway...
Quoted from moto_cat:Starship-Fantasy.com
When I purchased from Starship-Fantasy.com they only had 2 sets left I think. That was awhile ago....
Quoted from GUMBO:Somebody PLEASE sell me your old dog house, I'll pay top dollar
Top Dollar, your not kidding...BIN $ 161.87 + 33.99 Shipping...So for $ 195.86 you can have a new Dog House Plastics...LMFAO!
Quoted from Stu:CPR = Plastics, Playfields, Backglasses
PinballInc = Ramps
Stu, any update on the Playfield? Any chance of a Backglass or cabinet art?
no plans yet for a backglass, however, I have worked out a deal with PPS for my vector art on the cabinet decals....
Quoted from Stu:no plans yet for a backglass, however, I have worked out a deal with PPS for my vector art on the cabinet decals....
This is good news! Expensive, but good news. Perhaps the orange that should be on the cabinet will match the orange legs I bought for mine!
How is this 'expensive" ?...The full Cabinet Decal Set shouldn't cost any more than any other full cabinet decal set....

What color are they? I've seen Yellow heads before - Actually, mine has a yellow head and orange body. Just curious.
Full Orange Cabinet > See Flyer Below:

The Orange paint on a lot of these cabinets faded Badly!
I'm just saying it will be another $300, it's not cheap. I'm not saying it is more expensive and I'm glad to see it happen. I'll spend the money because I want this machine looking great. I can't afford HEP, but I'll try to do the best I can on my own. I'm looking forward to getting the cab cleaned up, redecaled, and either a new playfield in or getting mine restored. Just need to figure out who to send it to.

Really glad to hear about the decals. What's the latest on the availability of the playfield?
Already got my plastics, and they are sweet!

Any news on the ramps?
With the news on the decals, I can get my machine the grooming it deserves. These ramps would be the icing on the cake.

yea, inquiring minds would like to know on both of these questions...
Quoted from awarner:We haven't started on the Bad Cats ramps yet. Python is a close friend of ours so it is near to our heart. I'll ask James when he plans to start them. He does have to original tool for the ramps. It's a start.
Can't wait for new ramps.
Thankfully, my Badcats has a really nice cabinet...no fade at all.
Hmm, actually thought the work on these ramps was underway. Really want to get my Bad Cats in top shape for sometime next spring when I can host a league night.

Yeah. Work hasn't started yet? Huh?
It will be fine. It was nice talking to James (and playing him in the final rounds) about this and getting some view into the basics behind timing. I'm just happy to know they will be coming. Mine work, but it will be great to have new ones that sit tight and will last.
