Hey everyone, so I'm happy to be a part of the club 
mine doesn't have the upper to lower of wireform which many of you have posted about. Can someone who does have that take measurements of the wires? I'm interested in making a reproduction.
Any interest in these being reproduced? In the midst of reproducing one and then I'll start taking orders afterwards. They will be powder coated. (Can be powder coated silver to match the originals, or any color you'd like) Shoot me a PM and I'll add you to the list.
16251827865496342491023937593935 (resized).jpgSo here's the first prototype for the wireform. Going to fix the metal tab to the sling so it's wider. Then sand and polish to make it look smooth and then powder coat it silver. Have a few people interested in these....but also had an idea: what if we also made ramps to go smoothly down the right inlane, making it harder to catch on your right flipper? Would make this game not a right flipper only game. Any interest in those and I'll start prototyping those as well. Would also make the game more tournament friendly.
received_4339242506127663 (resized).jpegQuoted from boagman:I take it that the final product would be a *lot* smoother than what I'm seeing in the prototype, yes? I know that's me being nitpicky at this early stage, but I can't help but wince at the roughness of the thing.
I have to admit that, even though I'm a stone-cold purist in this way, I'm still *very* interested to see what the end result of having it changed to feed the right inlane would be like. It wouldn't be "right", but it would certainly be *interesting*, and it would very much change the way the game is played if so...and it would definitely make Magna-Save more difficult to implement because vision of that area would then be partially obscured. I'm both repulsed by the idea *and* intrigued by the idea at the same time. Curiosity is getting the better of me, though...I can admit that.
Oh yeah- it's definitely rough and I will be doing a TON of sanding to get it looking nicer, but this is just the prototype- my friend is also going to invest in a smaller welding rig that will definitely help for the future ones. Just installing this and playing a few games with it- ball is very smoothly going down this, it plays exactly like the original. Now to make it look nice.
Quoted from topkat:I think allot of people would buy one. They are very hard to find intact
Hope it works out
Yeah my friend who started the wireforms is simply overloaded with his day job to get to it right now- I have collected names of interested people though Loganpinball - I'll send them out to you. If you can make this wireform you've saved a TON of games.
Quoted from Loganpinball:I just agreed to buy bk2000 and should be picking it this up Sunday. I never played this one. I had original bk and sword of rage le in the past. I need to play it to understand the spring? Looking at pictures of playfield I see room to make a creative replacement long rail on the front of upper playfield. I look forward to tweaking the game. I will make clones and make as many as requested.
Great offer, thank you. I was asked by a few people to look into it. I dont want to overstep your plans. I will post the clones and the other designed wireform idea here when I get the game.
No overstepping, Jay was just going to start making them to help people out. Once upon a time I had a BK2K that was missing one and yeah... Not fun to have an unobtanium wireform missing. I'm just glad someone is making them!
