Hey everyone,
Spoke with Kerry from Mantis Amusements the other day about recreating the prototype style Indiana Jones path of adventure stainless metal siderails and thought I would start a thread to gage interest for him. These would replace the red plastic ones that are on all of the games that were sold beyond the prototypes. He stated that many years ago he had made the files needed to get these made, but didn't think that the interest was high enough then due to price. He also stated that he had planned to make these stainless pieces etched with the textured finish that the plastic pieces have now. These would look very high end in my opinion if brassed, chromed or even powder coated. I am putting this out there to gage interest so I could report back to him to see if it would be worth his time. These are very sought after by most people that see them, but supposedly can only be obtained by owning one of the prototype IJ pins. Post here if you would be interested in a set and up to what price point. I know that they wouldn't be cheap, (back then I believe he was looking at around 150ish, but don't hold to that as I'm sure costs have gone up). I'll report back to him with these findings. I believe it would need to be at least 50 to make it worth while. For a pic of these check check below...these are a pic from a restore on HEP's gallery.
