Is anyone making new Data East Cabinets? I can find it for everything else, but DE machines. I would have thought with the current market, that someone has to be making some...?

I've got a DE SW cab that is literally falling apart. It has water damage and the bottom is bowing severely. I can restore the cabinet, but not without spending a lot of hours and $$$.

If I could get one net new, that would be ideal....

Legal or not, seems you can now get the artwork for SW, JP, Tommy, GNR. Early on I could understand the near zero demand. But now with these available, I would have thought their might be some increased demand.

Quoted from 0geist0:

Making a cabinet is illegal?

No, making copies of the art-work, which is licensed, apparently is....

Bump....

Is there really that much lack of interest?

We know we can get artwork, so if enough interest someone would start making cabs...

But judging by the response, it does not look good....

Thx everyone. I appreciate the offers. Open to doing something, but shipping (both ways) makes this crazy. $200-500 for a cab does not bother me, but the extra 200-300 in shipping on top of it does....

I don't have any plans, which probably makes this more complicated..

I will let everyone know what i decide.

Quoted from Haymaker:

Yep, and according to the people in the Predator pinball thread, if you do this your a dirtbag/shady character, and its the same as stealing These righteous warriors would never even THINK of using some of these unlicensed counterfeit items! Its a crime and you'll have the gustapo come to your house and rip them right off your game!

Yeah, I read and that bit is just outrageous stupidity. Let's see the license was already paid for this pin, and I'm just restoring it (for my families use). Nobody is getting ripped off......

Let me know what happens.... I would order as well. If you doing the backbox only, does that mean the main cab is identical to Williams/Bally (I suspect this was the case, but had not measured)?

Quoted from Gryphun:

Brian,
FYI if you need back box measurements (am getting these pieces cut using Baltic Birch 3/4" (13 ply) plywood from a local guy in Martinez, CA).
Plywood - 5' x 5' is $56 / piece

Thank you. Post some pics when done. As soon as work calms down, I want to get cracking on my DE cab. Assuming I have a donor or new cab....
