    I was coaxed over the last year to make some more vacuum formed home run plastics.

    They came out well and all are in the post to my cajolers, they will receive today. I hope they like them.

    I have some surplus materials on hand to take advantage of the supplier’s price breaks. When this material is used, I will make no more, as they take so long to make.

    This plastic was used on the Williams Baseball games 63 Major League Deluxe, 63 Big Inning, 64 Williams Grand Slam Deluxe and the novelty version when they introduced the home run target. Eventually the plastics disintegrate and become absent on games hence games not being restored. This plastic has helped in the restoration of over 30+ games to date.

    Attached is an old thread link. They are buried elsewhere on this site in a day unless on the EM treads sub forum.

    63 Major League has arrows that light to indicate a home run opportunity rewarded with an additional inning. We use translucent white paint to make this work.

    Steve as one of your grateful ‘cajolers’ I just thought I’d publicly thank you again for doing this. The plastics look amazing in the photos and I’m sure even better installed in the games! Excited to see these show up on my porch this week!

    I have made the final plastics forms and am ready for specific game orders. It will take about 3 days to to the shipping date.

    Last and best batch I can make. This is the final chance to update your game back to new.

    Pm me if you want one.

    Happy Thanksgiving.
