I've got a DE pin now... but sadly, some damage happened during shipping:

I might see about glue/clamping it, but there was insurance on shipping so I'd rather just replace it. Anyone have a DE back box for sale that fits the Simpsons cabinet? Can be from another pin, as long as it is mechanical fit.

Quoted from cottonm4:

If you do not have any luck finding a back box, you might consider getting a Williams style flat pack from:
https://virtuapin.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=111
Before you poo poo this idea, consider that this pinsider rebuilt a DE Robocop using a Virtuapin.net cabinet kit.

Sorry for the damage you are having to deal with.
Which DE pin did you get?
How did this pin ship?
Was it shipped standing up on legs?
Or was it folded up and palleted?
Was it rammed? Or was it dropped? Can you tell?
And who was the shipper?
Don't let the insurance company shortchange you. This will not be a cheap repair.
Thanks.

It is the Simpsons. It was shipped on its legs. I didn't find the damage until I removed a shipping blanket. My guess is it was bumped into something while carting it from point A to point B... but the blanket hid the damage so the person who did it might not of been aware of the damage. I'm not going to name names at this time. These things happen and if the shipper makes thing right, then praise be their name.

I'll contact virtualpin.net and see what they have to say, thanks for the lead.

Would the back box from DE Tommy be the same design as the Simpsons?

Any one know where I can get a replacement backbox? I purchased The Simpsons several months ago and the back box got banged up in shipping. Doesn't matter what pin a backbox comes from, as long as it is a physical fit... I've got a cabinet decal kit on hand.

Thank you.
