BW Surfer Trough VUK scan (resized).jpg

#1 3 years ago

I am doing a teardown/clean/shop of a Baywatch and need some help with reproducing a decal that isn't included in any of the repro sets nor can I find it separately. This decal is on the trough VUK. I have scanned my dirty and damaged original but I don't have the editing chops to clean it up. I have the decal paper to print it and myar to protect it.

Is there a Pinsider that can please help? I can provide the original high res scan.

Thank you!

Would it be easier if you got a scan of a clean plastic? I have a Baywatch and can’t think where that plastic is at?

Is this a freebie or are you offering something in return?

What are the dimensions of the decal?

Also, nice to know someone is making another Baywatch "imamaculate"!

It is a decal on the VUK that feeds the shooter.

Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:

I'm pretty handy and am certainly willing to help in return but would also be open to paying a reasonable fee for one's editing time. Also, we have many fine breweries here in Seattle and I have shipped a few choice beers around the country...

Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:

The decal is 2-1/4" wide x 1-1/4" high

Thanks! May plan for this Baywatch is mainly playfield related but cabinet work is still outside of my skill set. Stripping the top and bottom of the playfield and cleaning everything then reassembling and making everything work is my comfort zone. Simple board diagnosing and repair is relatively comfortable for me as well.

This Baywatch come from Italy in a container buy and will definitely enjoy a new lease on life!

Oh, that’s a small one. Please email scan to me (see PM).

I guess you missed my “imamaculate” reference to the best Pinside for sale thread of all time. If you are not familiar, it is quite entertaining.

Ha! "used by questionable sales people who are misrepresenting their products and can't spell."

Oh, that Zach... Always the entertainer.

But this one has legs, so it's in even better shape than imamaculate.

It’s “Imamamaculate”

Will this work for you?

Click on image, click on blue download button at bottom right to open full res image, then right-click and save image to download full res image to your computer.

The image is somewhat jagget when zoomed in (based on your scan), but when printed at 2-1/4" x 1-1/4" it looks perfect.

Here's an alternate if you really want to spruce things up.

That should work great! Thank you, Mr_Tantrum . I made another version that I think is the perfect one for my imamaculate Baywatch:

The image is awesome, thank you! My deskjet printer won't print the aqua of the water in any shade but green so now I'll go find a local photo printer to do it. Never thought about that aspect of it - the wonderful world of color calibration.

I'll make an adhesive vinyl decal with clear gloss overlay for $10 if you want.
