A year or more ago my good friend Mr.68 had a genius idea and asked me to make him a back glass for his strikes and spares that rethemed it to a Big Lewboski. I did just that and he has an older thread here showing that work. Sometime later I ended up with a strikes and spares and decided to take it the distance and finish that conversion. I did modify the backglass art some, and added a full set of cabinet decals, playfield deals, sideblades, and rule card (which I cannot take any credit for.), also black powder coating, lighted red flipper buttons, full LEDS and changed all the flasher domes to clear and used super bright LED flashers that alternate incolor, red blue, purple green, ble red. I really like how the cab decals and artblades work together making a Dude side and a Walter side. The finished piece a much brighter and more fun presentation to this one trick pony of a game that is good traditional fun. Im making this available to anyone who wants to convert their game and have a "poor mans Lebowski." It will include everything seen here and the backglasses are very nice and a reverse print on acrylic, not a transite. Im missing a pic of the print file for the playfield quotes but will update soon. My game is headed for the marketplace if anyone is interested in the kit or my game please pm me. This machine will really tie your collection together!

Very well done!

Do you have a price list for the mods or do I have to buy the whole package? I really don't want to permanently modify the cabinet decals.

Are you saying you alternated the colors of the LED flashers under the domes on each side of the game or do you have some magical, color changing flashers?

I wish! What a great idea for comet to develop! By alternating I just meant that down the left side I have front to back red green blue, and on the right side, blue purple red.
