Will be interesting to see what u come
Up
With for stencils. I'm in the process of making some. But I'm no artist.

#10 10 years ago

Sounds interesting. The pink on it sux. Defiantly needs to change

#20 10 years ago

I'd replace the metal nuts/acorns to a rubber or nylon acorns. Allows for a bit more flex on the plastic.

#21 10 years ago

Have you contacted the guy in UK who has some plastics. They are fairly priced. Great seller.

#24 10 years ago

There not making a repro set of elektra plastics at least in the next 10 yrs anyway. Not enough demand for them to be made. If you check the elektra fan club thread it will explain the plastic issue. So I'd be getting hold of this guy as they are extremely hard to find. I'm waiting on a shooter lane plastic and it's that hard to find right now. Ahhhhhhh

How much we're they.

#35 10 years ago

Dido. I'm interested on the colour choice. I have to replace the back of my lower cab and repaint.

#38 10 years ago

I have made stencils for the top cab. But now they have made some real stencil kits I will buy one from them.

I might try the stencils out tho with some different colours.

Navy blue - pink - yellow.

Metallic blue - silver - red

Navy blue - red - yellow

I have also came across a idea of a sticker instead of stencils. Might be copyright tho. image-241.jpgimage-241.jpgimage-446.jpgimage-446.jpgimage-990.jpgimage-990.jpg

Quoted from Aladdin:

Question:
While I'm recond the cabinet, should I just send out all of the boards for "tune ups"?
I can do the Cap/resistor replacements, but if I'm going this far, should I just spend the $$?
Thoughts? Whom shall I send to?

I sent my boards off. All except the display boards including the three little ones under the cabinet. They found a lot more issues than I thought I had. Cost a bit but its done.

Interested to see what your colour selection is on your repaint of the cab.

Mmmmm nice. Those colours look great. This machine come with gunmetal grey legs (dark grey). I did mine with the metallic dark gray like you have with your paints. You should also look into changing those red flipper buttons. See this thread.

Money always is the killer. It's looking great. Keep up the good work.
