Anyone know a source for a apron and upper arch for a Skyjump? I am thinking or replacing the ones I got as someone painted them with webbing and I dont really like the look. would rather a solid white. I think it would look much cleaner. Or should I strip and repaint then decal and clear coat? Will that even look as good as a original? Thanks.

Quoted from Sea_Wolf:

Can’t you just lightly sand it, clean it and repaint it a matched white or does it have a texture build up?

Yes It has a texture to it. I can sand it down, the thing I am worried about is I will need to apply a decal on the apron. http://www.pinballrescue.net/Decals_Apron_Gottlieb.html I am wondering how this will look as compared to original.

Quoted from fredsmythson:

Ebay sometimes has listings for Gottlieb EM aprons and ball arches. If you can wait, you'll see these parts listed ever month or so. But, they're sometimes hard to find in excellent condition.
You can also post at the EM Seeking Parts thread:

thanks. while its not a emergency or anything, it is certainly something I would like to do eventually. So I can definitely wait a bit. I will post over at that thread too. thanks again.

Quoted from leckmeck:

Sky Jump originally had webbing on both areas. Are you sure it isn’t original? Can you post pictures of them?
The decals from Pinball Rescue are made well, but they look like gigantic stickers to me.

here are the pics.. maybe this is original.. idk..

Quoted from Mikala:

That is original factory. The Sky Jump’s on ipdb also have it.

i dont know why but i just dont like it, but I have decided to keep it since it is original and in good shape. thanks

FYI, you most likely will devalue the machine if you change either.

yes, im gonna keep it. i guess it will grow on me.. ))

Quoted from EMsInKC:

I don't think you're going to lose much money on a game based on whether or not the apron and arch are original.

your right, and I actually did change my mind a few hours ago. This machine is for me and I really dont ever intend on selling it anyway, so I am going to most likely replace or repaint.

Quoted from MikeO:

You'll also notice that the playfield glass guides are red on this game. Not sure if they did that on any other game.

i did notice that.. but being a newb not sure if i really questioned it at all..)
