Quoted from nhm:This thread wreaks of desperation, chronic masturbation, and crying yourself to sleep every night.
Prob why I like it

Actually, the thread doesn't "wreak" of anything. It "reeks" of being someone's FS post. And while I agree the translite is ridiculous, it's easily changed back for anyone looking for a WOF without gratuitous T&A.

Yet we see so many people ask "Why don't more women play pinball?" I give you exhibit A. Horny 13yr olds are calling this tasteless, immature, and 100% misogynist (that's kind of like sexist if you don't know what it means).
Oh, and it clearly violates forum rules.
So yeah, it DOES reek.

I was primarily commenting on the misuse of the word; bad grammar and malapropisms are pet peeves of mine. At the same time, I this IS someone's FS thread and not really the place for a soapbox speech involving multiple posts. Start a new thread and have at all the misogynistic things in the pinball community and how they impact female would-be players. Or ask the op to remove the pic, or talk to the mods if it's a violation. Taking the high road will probably further your cause better than this....
Actually the translite doesn't display misogynistic tendencies, it actually pro treys philogynistic traits. Before you start throwing around $10 words, pick up a dictionary.

I am guessing this was in a private collection, so that point is relatively moot.
Quoted from crlush:I don't think Vanna ever looked that good!
Vanna is in her 50s and gets $4,000,000 usd a year to turn letters on a game show so she's doing something right

Really she gets paid to clap, walk back and forth, and make quips with Pat after the show. She doesn't even turn letters anymore! Hey, good work if you can get it!
Personally I'm more irritated at the very obvious technical errors. The puzzle board would NEVER look like it does in the picture (there's never any per-line centering, only longest-line centering - you'll notice the game doesn't do this either ;P ), and that wheel. Where in God's green earth did that wheel get dug up from? So ugly and wrong in so many ways.
I also don't know if that's Vanna or not; been a long time IIRC since she's been in Playboy. Quick google search would seem to indicate not.

RIght? I love "buy a vowel" on the wheel, and the way words like "bankrupt," that clearly have a lot of letters, start out with 400pt font then taper down to, like, 12 pt. The damn "K" is like 7/8 of the way down! The laziness in this thing is way more offensive than the woman.
Hey nhm, if you think that backglass is misogynistic, you have got A LOT to learn about the history of pinball backglass art!!

Whoever makes those translites just bought a CD ROM of isolated nude models or something is my guess. Sticks them on any game and calls it a day. This one isn't as hilariously inappropriate as the CSI one.

Inappropriate CSI Translite you say? Hmmm

Yeah we should probably have that thread because holy shit pinball has a proud tradition of being a cesspool of the worst.
I don't get it, who does this? Doesn't even fit the theme of the game. It's like putting a naked Fiona on Shrek. (shit, now one of you asshats will do that)

Aurich, this sounds like a challenge!

Ah yes, let the you young'ins have their fun. Some of us have simply matured more than others. The less mature people, farts and boobies are funny. Mmmmff, sorry about spit my coffee. Anyway farts....pfft, he he. And boobs pppphhhht, BWaa ha ha ......never mind.
Quoted from Keebler:Was everyone too busy looking at the translite to notice Lonnie's head is missing? (see last pic)
Totally missed that
Quoted from ovfdfireman:Totally missed that
It exploded when he saw the translite!

I guess he lost his mind. 
Bump
Quoted from Pinfidel:I'm surprised Keith Johnson didn't sign it as well. WOF is an awesome game. So different from any other game and so much fun.
That son of a.......
Quoted from pinball_keefer:You say that as if I was asked and refused.
Oh.......Hi Keith. 
Quoted from pinball_keefer:You say that as if I was asked and refused.
LOL Sorry Keith, I didn't mean it as if you were asked and refused. I thought that it would've been signed at the factory. First Gary signed it, then Lonnie signed it and then they left you out and said, eh, forget Keith he doesn't have to sign it, just send it off to the customer.
As for WOF itself, it's a family favorite. Absolutely LOVE it! You guys did a great job on it. I even love the idea of putting you and Lonnie up on the translite too. People get to see what the actual designers of the game look like. I bet that's the first and only time that's ever been done on a machine. Super cool.
Quoted from GAP:Price drop $4300 shipped. I also put the original translite back in.
What about Lonnie's head? Did you put that back in?
5 years later
Quoted from GAP:Lets get this puppy sold, I'll include the original translite, Original owner tacked it on a walls so it has tack holes.
Good afternoon,
Where would someone get one of These Custom art works? I want one on mine
