Stern Electronics, 1981Quoted from LHS:Hello Dragonfist Fans
I´m Lars from Germany and today a Dragonfist was found. Sadly he is a faceless fighter.

Nice find! Bruce's face seems to be the fist thing to go. Looks like you have all of the original red Tombstone drops which isn't common.
Haven't seen any sort of overlay or art replacement out there. Best of luck!

I came here and hopefully find a bigger fan base of this machine to help me fix the problems.
As always my left sling plastic is broke.
But the bigger problem is on the playfield.
Maybe i can find an overlay?
Thanks so much

Lars, I sent you a Private Message. Look up to the right by your name. You will see a bouncing icon. Click on that. I can help you with your broken plastic. I might be able to make you a decal, but that is a long shot.

Because nobody in European forum and here can really help in next time, I decided to sell this machine to a collector who can do professional playfield
restoration. He is happy to find a dragonfist, and I am happy that the machine will be saved and overwork completly for his collection.
Thanks for reading
Lars
Could someone please post a pic of the wiring to the “high spin to date” light in the back box. I have a loose grey wire with yellow banding that I think attaches here. Does the other side of the lamp just tie into the wire braid or am I missing another wire?
Thank you!

On the Star Gazer thread, I had 4 requests to make Dragonfist light boards. 3 of them have been sold. I cannot remember who the 4th person was that wanted a Dragonfist light board.
Please send me a PM. It is boxed and ready to ship.
Thanks
Quoted from PavBall:How many of these have been made from scratch? What do they typically sell for?
Zero, since playfields aren't available yet. The last original sold here was the sanctum's with the totally blacked out face for at least 7 or 8k.
Quoted from SMP14:Really wish someone would make a playfield for this. Anyone got one sitting around? This question got me a star gazer thanks to the great Cottonm4! So it never hurts to ask
Mirco has been sitting on my Dragonfist play field for 2 years. I'd like to stick a rocket up his butt and get him to move on it.
At this point I'm ready to just tear my buddies down and scan it and figure out a means to make my own playfield. need to figure that out bc I'm sure I can make it happen faster than 2 years lol jesus

The hell of it is is that I almost had Stu at CPR agreeing to take it on but some other pinsider blabbed his private email conversation with Stu to Pinside. That pissed Stu off; He thought it was me; I proved to Stu that I did not break confidence, but it was too late and Stu pretty much told me to pound sand.

Here is my latest with Mirco and my Dragonfist play field.
In September he was saying sometime in October or November. But he is busy building a new building that is eating his time. Then it was maybe there will be a Christmas surprise.
Then it was pushed to January/February. I told Mirco he was just a lot of excuses. He sent me an apology and does not have a time frame.
I told him to send it back and I will pay for the shipping. In polite business speak he pretty much has told to fuck off.
I really starting doubt that I am going to see this play field again. He has held it for 2.5 years now.
And that is where Dragonfist is at.

I'm thinking i might be able to custom paint some quicker lol. If i had easy access to the cnc cutting equipment for the playfields I just might have been a possibility as I already have a scanned playfield and vector files for all the restoring I did to one in the past.

I wished you could have had a facility in your area to scan the playfield,
and then just send the scans off the be reproduced.

I have the scans. They are 20 panels scanned with one of those Hewlett-Packard glass bottom scanners.
