+10000!

I picked up a Defender a few months ago after looking for 10+ years. It's actually in pretty decent shape compared to most I have seen (unrestored obviously).
I'm on the fence about restoring it..or just playing it. My basement is still quite a few months away from being pinball ready..so it's just sitting anyway.

Does anyone have a PF scan available? I've been in touch with a couple of Pinsiders that restored their Defenders. One said they would share their PF scans with me but I never got them after asking a couple of times

I inquired about a back glass with John Greatwich..the guy in Canada that does the direct print Sorcerer (and others now) playfields. He mentioned some time ago if he had a good scan..he could do a back glass. Might be worth giving him a shout.

My back glass is pretty good but certainly not perfect

Can you add the scans or PM me with them. I'd like to stitch the PF together and send it to John to see if he can do the direct price screening

Can you upload them to my FTP? Or dropbox? Or drop them in the mail on a USB stick?

Actually Gmail has a 25MB limit...if you compress them VIA win.rar...winzip...whatever...they might be small enough to email

Just an update..
Kbliznick did get me the NOS PF scans and even the Proto back glass.

I've confirmed with John Greatwich that if the art work is provided..he can direct print the PF at his current rate of $500 returned. The only PF I've seen from him was a Sorcerer that looks amazing

So we might have a source for reasonably priced PF restores

Just an update on the PF art. I've got the scans stitched and started correcting the art. There are a total of 13 scans (and parts of a 14th) that makeup the PF. I have over 12 hours into just one of those scans correcting horrible registry issues...and border lines that are no where near straight. Any blues were so poorly screened that they all showed white through. Almost like they didn't use enough ink...those all had to be redrawn by hand. Also the PF had terrible planking that needs correcting.

It's gonna be a time consuming process..but will be worth it in the end

Nice!

I have the defender\defender thing as well

Also have Stargate\Stargate

I had Spy hunter\Spy hunter but the pin just sucked to bad to keep =)

Got a Qbert Vid and the Tron vid. Would really like that Qbert pin!
