    Quoted from littlecammi:

    Okay, Gomer.

    What's funny is that we haven't really seen SHAZAAM in a while. Does that mean prices are going down?

    It should also be noted that I bought both my TZ and TAF WELL under these so-called "Pinside crazy high prices". One of them, I got directly from a well respected Pinsider, too.

    With all this talk about the screen printed vs. decaled cabs, one has to take that knowledge of what B/W did on the line and pair it up with another kernel of knowledge:

    Rick at PPS/BAA owns all that original B/W stuff and probably has the artwork for the original screens used on those games.

    Therefore, one can extrapolate that at some point(once/if he's able to find that stuff) he could license a few guys to do full cabinet screening using the "original" B/W cabinet screens(new ones would be made obviously). Question is, would he be able to just sell a fully finished cab for a game or would he sell the service to have it done to your existing cab?

    Oh, yeah. Forgot about that.

    True, it is better nowadays to work from vectored art and match all the colors to Pantone spot colors for accuracy and repeatability, but it's very difficult to replicate the hand-drawn effect and have it look natural. Sometimes things just don't look "right".
