Going to be joining the club in a few weeks hopefully. I was finally able to find one of these bad boys and should be getting it delivered in the coming weeks. Really excited as this is such a cool game!

Quoted from dudah:I'm wrapping up a bunch of projects currently and am wondering what's next. Would love to take a shot at creating a reproduction Skill Roll! Who can send me documentation, artwork or a Playfield scan? Or just give me access to one around Chicago? I'll also be around Dallas and Orlando in January.
If you could essentially recreate that more modern one called skillshot that used quarters then it would be a massive hit on location. People would toss all kinds of money trying to best their own scores, get to the bottom and/or beat their friends scores

Quoted from northvibe:I just installed a new plexi sheet, the old sheet had two small chunks out at the top two screws, otherwise does anyone have a need for an old one?[quoted image]
Did you get the Plexi sheet from eBay? Curious as mine isn't bad but I considered getting a new one. I didn't as someone locally got one and stated they had to modify it a fair amount to get it to fit / line up properly.
What was your experience?

Quoted from edward472:Yeah, I'm working on fixing that.
Mine stopped holding the nickel as well when you beat the game. What's the fix? If possible, please post your fix with a few pics.
Thanks!

Thanks!
Please let us know if your new plexi installs easily or if you end up having to adjust hole slots or mounting holes as I've heard from others.
For the issue of the nickel not being held upon beating the game, could anyone provide some guidance on what to look for to fix my issue of the nickel not being held once you beat the game?

Quoted from tstone:2.5k for those is reasonable. They look decent other than the handles, which used to be a big problem but not anymore.
Things cost more than they used to.
4k+ possible per decent working machine now.
Agree that $4k+ for a decent, working skill roll given their rarity and the fact that plenty of folks are looking for them is the going rate I also agree that those don't look bad cosmetically and the handles are now obtainable. So long as they aren't missing critical parts, I feel like someone looking and not afraid of a project should snag those. These are not easy to find in any condition as anyone who has hunted for one can attest to.

Quoted from northvibe:coin taker frosted warm white - they are as close to incandescent I personally like. Yes, I tested all the others, everyone says, didn't like them. CT's go in all my stuff, unless its flipped, then it's comet or ebay.

I did not convert the fluorescent to led, that stayed original with new parts.
I appreciate the recommendations!
