Is anyone selling just the decal for the front glass?
I'd like a new one, but shipping would be a killer. Thanks

It does seem crazy that you can't buy the artwork rolled up in a cardboard tube and apply it to your own piece of glass instead of having to buy (and more importantly pay for shipping) on the whole thing.
Quoted from Mopar:That's what I had done and placed it on the bottom of the original glass, and then scraped off
the original flaking art work. One other collector asked, so I had another made.
It's like a decal on 3 layers of vinyl and applies to the backside of the glass..
If you ever feel like doing another one, please let me know and I'll buy it.
Quoted from Mopar:Okay, I'll get in contact with my Graphic Designer. Maybe can have one done in a couple of weeks.
Whatever it cost me will be your cost. You'll be happy with the price..
Thank you very much! Just send me a PM when you know something and we'll go from there.
I once read a post somewhere from a guy who had converted his Skill Roll to quarters and still had it out on location where it was earning about $100 month.
I can't find the thread anymore, but if he's on here and sees this I'd love to see photos of the machine.

I think we're worrying about this too much, certainly more than Bally ever did. I never studied mine before, but now that I look, the quality of the silkscreening is beyond horrible. If you look at the photo below, my original is way out of register, and my silver lines are so crooked they disappear halfway across. Look how the right side bottom line disappears almost immediately, and on the left side the top line is almost 1/4". And its not just the lines, everything is off.
My point is, no matter who you get the reproduction from it's almost certainly going to be better looking than the original.
