I heated mine up. Then you can bend it to the proper shape. Once it cools it keeps its shape.

Quoted from whthrs166:The final resting place for my FT, Right in with my White Water. I did Radcals also. Makes the cabinet art look like it’s underwater. Both these machines are really low play with all their original equipment. The playfields on both are really nice with no visible wear. I did the rod and reel mod with the blue led wire hooked to the reel flasher. Makes the rod light up and flash when you lock a ball and some other times. Both games are up at the Mine at 9000 feet.

Fishtales and Whitewater belong together. I have them beside one another and they're staying!
20210910_222145 (resized).jpgQuoted from jawjaw:Absolutely. I have them next to each other on the left of my line up just like you. Also have MET bookending the collection on the right. Awesome room! What is that coffee table game?
It's a 1968 Chicago Coin hockey table. I took the legs off and put casters on. It's my coffee table.
Your lineup sounds alot like mine! Nice!
Quoted from JLay:Sweet! Any pics? How do the colors compare?
I'll take some pics today when I get out in the garage. It's slightly darker but the colors look great.
Is the fishing rod plastic still not available? That was the only old piece I had to put back on after the playfield swap.
Quoted from Pinstein:I got my powder coating back and am very happy with it. You cant really see the effect in the pic but it is a prismatic powder call "Rainbow River", and while in a dark game room its pretty much black, but get a little light on it and it really explodes with speckled color. I had the apron coated to and then covered it up with a magnetic apron cover I made to make it feel a bit more like a dock.

The apron looks awesome! Good job
Quoted from Riefepeters:Fish tales walnut edition
Step 3: get Billy Bass rocking on a walnut backboard. I decided to wired him up like an OG topper, so the lure has a flasher and his tail has a knocker. Walnut back. Walnut trim. Addressable LED strip embedded in the outer trim that syncs with the speaker lights. My initial instinct was blue and there is a mode with some nice blue green movement that looks like water, but I had to land on the yellow. It just has much more inland lake integrity. Plus it highlights the walnut more.
Seriously though, for anyone without a topper waiting on the fish to get back in stock…just buy a Billy bass. His movement is very nice with thr knocker and he looks better than the OG replacement IMO.

Amazing job on the topper! Great work!
Quoted from DavidCPA:Cut up a Cabelas add for an apron cover. What do you think?

Great job! Suits the game well
Quoted from Nintegageo:If I sell CP, it'll be to have room to get my 2nd FT. Love the game.
I'll trade you for a FT.
Quoted from parsonsaj:My boat ramp decal was starting to lift on the left side, so I decided to replace it. I was able to get it done in place, but it wasn't easy and it's a little crooked... so I will probably have to try again.
For anyone who has done this... do you just do it in place, or do you remove the ramp flap somehow and attach to the flap outside the game?
I did mine . Everything was apart at the time, I was doing a playfield swap. I think I had the flap attached to the boat when I applied the decal. Turned out perfect.
