Dimension
Gottlieb, 1971Decided to pull the trigger and give my Dimension some love. Just ordered the new plastics from down under and the Backglass from the Webb's. I'm one of those old cheap ass pinball collectors so this was a big investment for me considering my existing ones were not terrible. Dimension is the first EM I bought 20 years ago and is the jewel of my EM collection. And now the waiting begins...
Nice. The Webb's? I've got a 2001 in need of a new backglass, and the only likely place I've found so far was bgresto. Never heard of Webb's.
Boy, the artwork sure is different for Dimension! I think I like the art for 2001, but the add-a-ball of Dimension.
Will watch this with interest..can't recommend Pinball Rescue's products high enough..they are top notch http://www.pinballrescue.net
I own a Galaxie which I'm about to restore.
Keep the updates coming!
My Dimension is easily one of my favorite all time EMs. I have a Ron Webb repro back glass on it and its a work of art. I've also bought repro plastics for another pin from pinball rescue and they're top notch as well.
I've also got an NOS playfield that ive yet to install for this machine but the one on it isn't too bad. Has the usual wear between and above the pop bumpers and some planking.
I prefer both the artwork and game play of Dimension over 2001 but 2001 is a stellar machine that I'd be happy to own. Drop targets, artwork, and gameplay are very original and IMO among the best of all the wedgeheads.
Quoted from Polonius:Never heard of Webb's.

Interesting color choice on that that Palooka cabinet... I've got two of those in storage waiting for the time to do a swap'n'shop. One was a wedding present from my wife 20 years ago, so I need to keep it mostly original with just a few upgrades from the donor machine. Fun game.
Well, the BG arrived safely. Very nice and fresh...the blues may be a tad lighter than original, but not complaining. Now, just waiting for the African sparrow to wing it's way from down under to arrive with the plastics....foot tapping...waiting patiently...not.
What a lot of drop targets!!! Are the rubbers behind the targets a pair of BIG rubbers?
How does the score motor handle 3000 points, is it like a 3 notched cam?
Quoted from aahgo:Don't remember off-hand if it is a 5" or 6" long ring.
They look bigger then that, i was thinking they maybe hard to find.
The biggest rings I have in the work room right now is 4". I stretched it above the posts and it seems about 1-2" short so I'm thinking it's probably a 5 1/2". Anybody confirm? I'll need to order some.
Good news is the plastics arrived today. They look great! Probably won't get to the swap for a week or so, but can't wait!
