Quoted from cottonm4:No. And I need some. One pinsider talked to CPR and CPR would need vector drawings. I don't know how to vector but would be willing to learn if I could get scans of plastics that are not broken
Alas, my plastics are broken.

My broken plastics are causing ball hang ups. I'm going to try and figure a temp fix for this. Love this game, I wish they would get the extra plastics made somehow...even if some of the artwork wasn't identical.

Quoted from cottonm4:Which ones are broken, Tigerlaw? There ought to be an easy fix for playability issues.
I meant to take a photo but then just kind of forgot. It’s the big one just right of center. I’ll try and take a photo tomorrow (I’m putting Titan bands in tomorrow).
My backglass is pretty nice but could probably be touched up a bit as well. Seems unlikely we will get plastics or a repo backglass any time soon for this game due to how rare it is.

I’m still looking for some plastics. Do we have any chance of getting a resto set done for this title?

Quoted from bigdaddy1:EDIT: Last set of plastics is spoken for.
Oh man, I pretty badly need some plastics. I can’t believe I missed this.
Also willing to buy a nice back glass. Original 9.5 condition or better or a high quality reproduction is fine. I’ll ship it to myself or to Keith Holbrook in Dallas. Thanks.
Hey guys, this is the plastic I need. I’m going to put my Dragonfist in storage till I can figure out some fix as the ball keeps getting hung up here with the plastic broken in half. Cotton had a good idea about removing the light which I’ll try this weekend. My other plastics aren’t great either but this one is the killer.

I really can’t believe I missed those plastics that were for sale. I knew I needed them then and just didn’t check the thread at that time. Ah well, if anyone hears of more being ran somewhere or if someone doesn’t need the one I’m in desperate need of and wants to sell it please let me know. Thanks.
I was able to use my Dragonfist in the league yesterday. Thank you to those of you who sent me suggestions on how to stop the ball hang up without the plastic, they worked.
If anyone notices a set of plastics come up for sale please send me a pm in case I don’t check this thread. Thank you.

How many scratch builds are likely to be made? I’d like to buy either a scratch build Dragon First or Star Gazer one day.

So, when you guys do these scratch builds, do you get all new cabinets made (like HEP frequently does) or do you mostly use a donor cabinet and clean it up? I guess it is different person to person, but what seems to be the most common approach?
Quoted from cottonm4:Interesting question TigerLaw.
What do you ask?
Yea, just curious as to what is the current standard. I’m determined to one day snag a Star Gazer or Dragonfist restore or scratch build for my collection.
