Quoted from wdpvideo:Yes it's crazy expensive. No, WCS did not come gold plated.
If you buy from a pinball company, it will be even more crazy expensive.
However, it's pricey anyway...
Thought I'd read that somewhere......my Son loves the game, so probably a keeper, but no desire to put bad $$$ into it...
Quoted from woody76:It's worth it if it's a keeper. Looks great. Mike has done my shadow, cftbl, and wh2o plating. I feel like I would get all my money back as well if I did sell but not planning on it.
I know WCS is technically a "b" game, but the kids love it, and I've pretty much rebuilt, rewired most of it anyway ( new ramps, molex replacement, lots of board work/ replacement). I'd never get the $$ out that I put in, but it's a pretty sweet machine now ( even put a Sigma colordmd in it)....was thinking the brass would look pretty badass, and kind of " finish it off"....
Quoted from Skyemont:It be a decent price but getting all that done and not the coindoor??? That's the expensive part. It would run u between 800 to 1k after shipping. Just saying.
Knew someone would bring that up.....ahh, the guilt now...... 
Quoted from beelzeboob:Coin door should always be black, IMHO.
Whew....thanks for the save.....
Quoted from Grizlyrig:If your doing this for your kids than GO FOR IT !
you have already done so much on it,mine as well go all the way
Yeah....if I counted the hours and $$$ already put in, I'd probably pass out ( or be called an idiot)....I think the game's artwork is actually pretty cool, and just a good, fun , player.....bought that and FGY for my Son, and he loves them both ( he's 14, and even got him to help me work on it w me a few times)...suspect I'll be going for it....
Quoted from Skypilot:World cup soccer is which ever you think it is
I give it a B+.......
Quoted from pinbum:I think WCS is really becoming a very sought after pin lately, in the B class for sure. It would look very good in brass.
Thanks for the vote of confidence, I agree....
Quoted from pinbum:WCS came originally with gold legs only.
Ahh...I knew I had seen that somewhere....brass will rock....think I'll leave the hinges and coin door black....
Quoted from Skypilot:Not a fan of the door being brass. Opted out on IJ.

Ummm...I said my game was nice, but not THAT nice...great pics and envy setting in a bit.....your machines and shop look great!!!
3 weeks later
Thanks.....it really does make the machine look great!!!
I don't think Mike would mind......$600.00 shipped to my door for all of it...he had all the parts ready to go, so I didn't have to send him anything, nice, quick turnaround....easy transaction...nice guy!!! ( said he would do my habitrail for $35....I was so tempted, but decided to wait, as the shooter ball guide plate would have to be done too, imho )
Quoted from beelzeboob:Personally, I would do the habitrail and apron guard. It'll tie the whole machine together nicely. Looks great, bud!
Agreed.....does the madness ever end ( I already know the answer to that, sadly)?.. 
Quoted from RonB:I spent over $800 to do my Shadow a few years ago. That included the rails, lockbar, gun, ramps, divertors and all wireforms. I didn't do the legs or hinges, as I thought that was enough. The quality of his work is top-notch!

NICE!!!
Quoted from johnwartjr:While you're plating the coin door, may I suggest the undercab neons, curb feelers and a spoiler on the top of the backbox?
The original legs were a yellow zinc plating, not brass. Unfortunately, nobody does that plating anymore.
I'd like to get my WCS wireform and skill shot replated.
Fully aware of "complete" plating costs...( just finished powdering my IM complete, and TRONLE fully chromed)...I thought this game would look best with just what I did
I know original was gold legs only.....just did this for me, as I thought it would finish off the look. Will be doing the habitrail, apron guard, and skills hot assembly done at some point.
Passing on your other option tips on your other option tips.....just posted as I thought some might enjoy seeing how it turned out.......
