Nice, I've been waiting to see how your translite came out, looks great. If the original speaker panel is a deal killer for anyone I think I have some spare ones of my design in the garage.

Nice looking shadow GLWS!

That custom translite artwork is absolutely beautiful. Fantastic job!

Later,
EV

Agreed - love it!

I frickin' love that translight man, good job.

Very nice TS. Good job on the Translite and GLWS!

Looks really nice. I think this is definitely a title I want to try at some point. Everyone has said it is a great machine and I loved the movie.

There's room for both in my game room. I'm looking for a stock one, though. Price and shipping are putting this one out of my range. I think your price is a lot more reasonable for this title compared to other asking prices as of late.

Again GLWS and have another bump for a good looking game

Your work itranslite amazing and could fool someone not in the know would mistake it for stock. Wish I was not out of space, very nice looking pin.

Amazing translite bump.

Beautiful translite!!!

Dude you f*king nailed the translite!....are you going to make more? I absolutely love the look. Now you have to make the speaker panel too. Let me know if you do make another so I can sell Aurich's....LOL

Just messing with Aurich...he had it coming.

It's very nice but I would make the green match the green on the apron and translite.

wow...that translite is incredible

I like your speaker panel, it obviously matches your design more closely than mine will, but what I did is dark blue with a gold accent plate, so it would actually match up decently with that background pattern you did, better than the OEM one at least.

Anyways, just offering if anyone is hesitant about the stock speaker panel, you did an awesome job on your translite, and your machine looks great, someone will enjoy it.

Just PM me if you want to talk about it, don't want to derail this sale thread.

Nice. Someone is getting a sweet custom Shadow.

I've been looking around for this title, lately. I think you had a very good price for your game. Lots of beat up ones floating around with a list price near $3K. Yours actually looks worth it. Again, kudos on the amazing custom work and for passing it along at a good price.

Nice looking game, awesome translite

Sadly, I think my window may have passed on this title. I like it, but I don't like it for more than $2500.

I may get lucky and eventually find a stock one, but it doesn't look promising anymore

Yeah, mine cost me 2800.00 and I had to pay 400 for shipping. I then added the new translite and LEDs and a few other mods suchs as green flashers and flipper bats. Also plan on chroming the various parts. I guess I'll be looking at a 4K shadow pretty soon.

Yowza. BTW, the habtrails look amazing rebronzed!

Best looking alternate Shadow translite yet!

Well if you're willing to take one that needs some work, here's one listed at $2300:

But if you're looking for one in nice shape, I'd agree that market price is now north of $2500. (I say this as someone that spent a lot of time looking at Shadow listings last fall/winter).

I saw that one, but the shipping would put it right back up there, unfortunately.

I saved, traded up for TOTAN and IJ when this one was going for 1200-1600. I just didn't get back to it fast enough.

It's only pinball after all. If I decide I have to have it, i'll find the extra money for it.

Actually more than fair IMO.

Agreed! Didn't mean to imply yours was unfairly priced, the $700 price differential is in my opinion more than accounted for by excellent condition and full functionality (not to mention the cool alt. translite). I was just saying that anyone looking for a sub-$2500 Shadow will likely have some serious cleanup/restoration work ahead of them if they want an end product as nice as yours.

If it helps any, I recently paid more for a Shadow and it only came with Aurich's translite (I kid,I kid) . But it did have no sanctum wear and that Nimblepin touch. With lesser titles going for twice that much, I think the OPs asking price is more than fair.
Hard to get tired of playing Shadow, especially one that works.

I just sold for the first time when the buyer wanted to ship. It went well I just had to put the head down and secure NAVL came took it out with legs on the two guys who came to my home did a great job of packing it they put cardboard on the legs and 3 blankets around it and then put the shrink wrap. I offered they guys cokes and water and tried to do everything I could so they would pack it as well as possible. I only offered wire transfer to my bank or cashiers check for payment. The wire transfer went well. Good Luck

I did my only Pinball sale long-distance and with Paypal. You're putting yourself at the buyer's mercy to an extent, so you'll want to have a clear understanding that they'll a) work out any issues with you directly before going through Paypal, b) will only seek redress through Paypal for clear discrepencies between how you advertised and photographed the machine and how it appears in person, and c) will not seek redress through Paypal for shipping-related damage (which would be between the buyer and NAVL).

Of course this will all require trust on your end, but in my case I had a number of long talks with the buyer, confirmed that he had asked every question he could conceivably have about the machine, and was comfortable based on his rep. here that he would only try to get money back through Paypal if I had badly mischaracterized the machine, hid obvious damage, etc.

I don't have tons of pin shipping experience, but I found this list of advice in another thread and thought it was helpful:

1. Shoot some video as close to the day of pickup as convenient showing a bit of gameplay, test menu run and a circuit of the machine to show cabinet condition. If possible include a newspaper to prove video was shot just before pickup.

2. Remove balls, bubble wrap them and ship them in the coinbox.

3. Insert backbox screw in factory hole to secure light board.

4. Fold the head down onto the rails with decent cardboard or other good padding in between.

4. Secure the head to the rails with a nylon tie or ratchet.

5. Be sure leg protectors are installed and tighten all leg bolts.

6. Spin in leg levelers all the way.

8. Print out a few "DO NOT FORKLIFT - HAND CARRY ONLY" signs, and ask the shippers to tape onto the machine once fully packaged.

I'm the lucky pinsider that will get this nice example. I'm super excited about it and the op is great to work with. I've been looking for a Shadow since Aurich's amazing work. Unfortunately it became very hard to come by at that time. Glad I found a nice example. I have a feeling it's not going away any time soon.

Congrats! Like I said, I paid more recently and my cab was far from perfect. But you don't play the cabinet.
