Tell me that PF is getting scanned by someone first for possible future repros. As I have decided to keep mine, I am quite jealous, as even a used one will be extremely hard to get a hold of.
Right time, right place and mad negotiating skills of course
Quoted from simon:How on earth did you get NOS playfield and plastics for spirit? Wow
Yep, I'll be using a Cruse Scanner for the playfields and plastics.

Oh yeah! There's hope for repros on this one yet. I've heard people say it would never sell, because of lack of games, but I think it would actually sell really good because it's a game that's worth doing a full restore on. And collectors have these spirit games, they just rarely come up for sale, because it is that good! People for years in the know, know how good this game is. Good for you PACMAN. Todd Scott

You got it from that lot that Steve got from the Gottlieb reserve I talked to him today.
Man, I dunno what you do and how you find the time for all this, but I'm pretty sure you're not married with kids and coaching two soccer teams.
Nope I've actually never bought anything from Steve at PBR. I got this in a 13 machine and parts bulk buy awhile back.

Pretty close but only one soccer team I'm semi-retired so I have time to goof off during the day until kids get home from school.

It's definitely possible, I don't know about a silk screened version of such a small run but maybe more like what greatwhichjohn is doing.

Quoted from Fast-Ed:I hope they remake the whole game. Then you could by a nib machine for 6,500.00. Ed
I mentioned this in another post. Spirit, TX-Sector and Robo War would sell like hotcakes!

Wow, there someone else got another NOS set as well recently.
If anyone has a new or used PF, please contact me, I would like to buy.
Sorry for a semi-hijack, paccy, but as I decided to keep mine, I'm GREEEEEEEEEEN with envy right now reading this thread. Every time I come in I have to close my eyes and skip to the bottom, as the envy of those photos just bakes my biscuit!
this is actually a second Spirit machine that will be for trade later on. The game that I'm replacing with the NOS playfields is nowhere near as nice.
Quoted from Atomicboy:Man, that PF looks restored already!

Second Spirit...?! Finds NOS Spirit PF's and plastic sets....?!
Where do you find the time for this pinball stuff between driving around in your Ferraris loaded with super models??
