Good Mornin', Guys!

Curious where the 365 Voltans are? Would love to see pics as well.

I'm actually fortunate enough to have one. Paid top dollar for it of course. After I paid the guy he asked if I wanted to know what he paid for it. I immediately said, "Absolutely NOT!", as I knew he found it in some old ladies basement. She probably paid him to take it out. Kind of a messed up question I thought. lol

Typical fade, but not real bad. Backglass is great, other than where the lockbar rubs it. At some point I'm gonna pull those out of my old Ballys and round those corners off. Playfield is VERY nice!

Most of my photos are on the drive in my old tower. Lost the video card, so I'm gonna have to address that at some point. Also got tagged by a hacker with some ransomware, so lost a lot of my photos. POS hackers! Hate those MFrs!

Here's a couple I have of it. Let's see the others if they're out there.

Have a GREAT weekend, guys!

Quoted from Whysnow:

Pretty sure it is for sale if anyone is looking ?
I actually like it and the art is amazing!

Where might I find it? Or who might I contact?

Quoted from pinwiztom:

More info on my game history. (Ser#: 1176)
I got it from Gene Lewin (an operator) in LA/Orange county in late 90s
Bought it along with a Fireball II, for about $1800 (including taxes) for the pair.

WOW!!!

Quoted from pinwiztom:

But I was determined to obtain every D. Christensen game,

Yep! Would love to as well. Dave is absolutely my favorite artist. I'll never have all of his games, unless it's perhaps a few at a time. lol

Quoted from doghouse:

Also, curious to see how many have bought the CPR plastics for this game? I ended up getting two sets-- the first with art muddier than I would accept. CPR sent me a second set-- quite a bit better, but definitely quite a few steps below the originals in color, detail, and crispness of line.

I bought 2 sets as well. One simply to have spare pieces, the other for a project that I have yet to start. The blues on the 2 sets I received is definitely off a bit. Not as dark and rich. And yes, the lines are not as crisp.

I'm sure they'll be doin' the backglasses as well.

Currently it looks as if they're in the test cut phase on the playfields.

My concern is that these machines are so rare, with only 365 made, there's now gonna be a lot of guys making Voltans from scratch. Though I still think the originals will retain a special place among us that love them.

I preordered 2 playfields as well. Again, simply to have a spare and one for my project. I just wish that they were a bit better with order confirmations.

Quoted from Ballypalooza:

Just asking opinions, I have an original NOS glass and a fully populated original playfield. But no cabinet. I will have to recreate the body and head. Am I “making” a game... or am I replacing a cabinet? Interesting. Could see both ways.

Replacing a cabinet. Sometimes you have no choice.

I just picked one up nonworking of course but playfield doesn’t look too bad.[quoted image][quoted image]
