can you post a close up of the TZ corners? Thanks.

Nice. I was on the fence about ordering from them, but this is great..!

Post more pictures when you can!

yes. I've considered ordering from them but this is the first I have seen a finished product and would like to see how nicely finished the corners are.

which packages did you buy, did you have to provide the artwork?

The price for installing the decals is very reasonable as well. hmmm…...

is there any bevel to them or are they just straight cut? Are the edges touched up with black paint or is the white the edge of the decal?

Sorry for all the questions but I'm in the middle of a DW restore and the cab is hanging over my head.

I have some ready to go for FH but will need the corvettes ones shipped to me to copy. Will turnaround asap. LMK if you need my address again by PM.

Is he providing the artwork? Is it licensed? Screened or inkjet? Does he have a site?

You're giving me ideas! My TZ has a fantastic playfield, but the cab is showing it's age and some wear. Might just order a new cabinet!

Do you mind me asking the price range for the widebody TZ with decals? And do you know if the decals are printed or silk screened?

Also, are the yellow letters on the back of the cab screened on or die cut vinyl letters?

Also, who makes the best TZ decals?

Where did you get the FH decals from? I didn't see FH on the website.

Phoenix Arcade has FH artwork and his stuff is good quality. $290 + shipping:

I will also give GREAT shout out to Paul at VirtuaPin Cabinets, Inc as well . I met him when I attended MPE last April and asked him if he can build a Williams Indiana Jones cabinet for me, he said no problem. This is a machine that I have wanted in my personal collection for a while now... I took one in on trade, but as most IJ machines the cabinet was very faded and rough. I did get with my deal a new set of cabinet artwork for a cabinet restore, but I felt I wanted to get a new cabinet since I met Paul. I ordered my cabinet from Paul and mailed him the artwork. Once I received the new cabinet from him.... All I can say is this cabinet is BEAUTIFUL, what an eye he has for detail and what a huge difference it makes when restoring a machine.

Paul is doing more work for me as well with some projects that I am working on.

Also, here are some pictures of the new IJ cabinet and the process of doing the swap over.

Thanks,

Might be too picky but is that the wrong Warning label on FH. Looks outstanding though. Post completed photos.

Ah man, I so want a corvette pin and this just makes me want one more. Those look great. thanks for sharing as I've been wanting to do some restorations down the line and the cabs are something that has me nervous. I may have to source him to do my BOP cab if the playfields ever come out.

Edit - Just checked the site out. $60 extra to install your decals. That's insane! For that cost you'd be stupid not to let them do it if you are buying the cab from them.

Stephen what was the shipping like and if you order more im interested in piggybacking on to save on it. Im out in medina from time to time.

I should have said "is shipping less if you purchase several" I see 160 to cleveland for 1

Great. Need to sell a game to buy the cab but am going to list a bunch in the coming weeks.

How does he install the decals, wet or dry?

Looks nice from the pictures.

So what was the price per cab?

I have ordered a MB and FH from him in the past and theses games are beautiful and working! Now he is working on 3 more CV, NNG, CFTBL I should have them by the 11th. Excited! I just love a beautiful cherry game.

I also had a MB cab done by Paul recently that I posted in the start of my restore thread, But here's another pic of it. Outstanding work and customer service!

Best to check the web site as there are different stages of the cabs. I priced out what I would want and it looks to be just shy of $1K shipped. That's a cab, painted, screened warning and decals installed. While still not cheap it seems to be worth it to me for the time involved. For about another $300 you can get all new hardware on the cab as well from what it looks like. He even has an option to install the ground straps. Really cool business plan and it sounds like he's executing it well.

My only thought now is if it would be worth the cash to have him build the cab, then ship it to someone to clear the cab and then ship it to my house. Clear may be overkill on the decals (if it can even be done right).

If you want one, let me know. I'd like to have one done as well and maybe we could see about a cost savings on multiple orders.

I just ordered a new cabinet from Virtual yesterday for the IJ I purchased....yesterday. Glad to Steve's look so great. Looking forward to a like new machine. If I could only find a playfield.

They came both ways. I don't care for the sharp line between the black and natural wood color on the sides, I also prefer MDF cab bottoms.

Mdf will stay nice and smooth, plywood will produce slivers in a few years . MDF looks nicer as far as I am concerned. I have talked with Paul and he said he would build them anyway I wanted them made.

Thanks for sharing your new cabs .

I'll be selling meteor and blackout for sure. I may sell or trade fireball ii, judge dredd, junkyard and black hole as well as one of my motorcycles. Waiting on a few parts for repairs here and there and contemplating what games interest me. Only one I don't want to let go is no fear... love that game. Want to buy a blank shadow cabinet and make a nice one.

Cabinet work is hard and not many do it right or have the facility to do it in. I like doing cabs because I can control the quality I want for my restorations.

I just got my new DH Sttng cab this week and have not pulled it out of the box to inspect it yet. I have heard good things about Doug , so I am sure it will be fine .

Restoring games with the cab all done ,makes life easy that is for sure.
