Quoted from PACMAN:Looks great! Where's the rest of the game?
Did you make the stencils yourself or buy them?
Yes 100 percent hand cut stickers, takes about 10 hours to make them.
PF has still the original mylar and it would be to tricky to remove without doing damage, so not a high end restoration for me but just a nice looking game ...

And adding pictures can say more than words !
This is an american forum and I will do the best I can , and my excuses to Mr Pacman for spoiling this topic he's started ...
Quoted from PappyBoyington:What kind of material did you use for the stencils?
These are stencils used for stencil cutting machines.
Apply them wet as this allows you to squeeze out air bubbles, starting to apply them from the middle of the stencil.
This may need some practising .
Quoted from PappyBoyington:Thanks. What kind of material are they made of? I would like to know for future restorations. Iv'e used frisket and tape but would like to know what the material is and where you can get it?
These are stickers ( infact I don,t know exactly the difference between stencils / Stickers in englisch ? ) , you will find theme under the name averygraphics or avery dennison
Quoted from meSz:Thierry, when referencing stencils most would think you're making a stencil to place on the cabinet and then paint leaving the artwork on the cabinet whereas you took a material (sticker) and cutout the artwork from that sticker material and then adhered it to the cabinet. Make sense?
Ok thanks ! Well it are stickers !
I tried in the past with stencils and paint but often the paint was " bleeding " under the stencil.
This may be an alternative way to restore a cabinet but I agree if you say it is no longer original, a choice you have to make ..
By the way this is my third spirit restoration and maby the last one as they become hard to find in europe as well.
Quoted from meSz:With 1230 made it's hard to find them anywhere. Just get done with your restoration as TigerLaw is waiting to buy it
I will make him a special price somewhere between european and US prices ofcourse if someone else is willing to pay me 7500 dollar
Quoted from blownfuse:There have been some collectors that have paid up to 10K for Spirit's in original condition, I wouldn't be surprised if we hear of at least one 20K offer for the one with the NOS playfield. I don't think there are very many out there anymore.

They sometimes pop up in France but beware of scammers !
For those who are interested here a restoration of a spirit I did some time ago, its in chinese but just enjoy the pictures. Unfortunately PF restoration was not of the same level as kruzman ( I have not those skills ) but just a nice spirit which is now located somewhere in California ...
