Gameroommods is in the final stages of development of a replacement Satellite dish for Goldeneye. I'm looking for feedback from the community before settling on the final details.
- See details and provide feedback at https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/sega-goldeneye-satellite-dish-1#post-6007330
- When ready it'll be sold in our Pinside store at https://pinside.com/pinball/market/shops/1167-gameroom-mods/04601-sega-reproduction-pinball-parts.

swinks - You are a great dude and I respect you. There was no intent to replicate your work. I was aware of only your white dish which I saw on a game at a show. I thought mine was different enough from your design to be offensive. I wasn't aware of your grey dish. I didn't find your stuff on any of the places I normally look for parts. This afternoon I looked at the shapeways site but I'm confused since I don't see a lot of overlap. My reproduction queue is based on my own needs, asks for parts from my friends, and asks for reproductions from a large pinball parts supplier which included original samples. The bigger problem is the queue includes a number of other parts you appear to have already done. I'll compare notes with you before starting those parts if I even do... There are a bunch of other stuff that we both have that are completely unrelated to one another. I'll pay closer attention to your other work before working on products for my pinball parts supplier.

Regarding replicating a few of your parts... Also note I have not sold a single one of the similar parts thus far since it's all been added to the store recently.
Sega Reproduction Pinball Parts - Yep solid overlap with the dish. Unintentional although we both made what looks like a satellite dish that fits in the game. The grey color seems obvious.
Stern Reproduction Pinball Parts - There are similarities in the coin slots. Mine are made for specific coin sizes including no slot. You don't offer that as far as I can tell. I designed them for my Flight 2000 when I restored it.
Bally/Williams Reproduction Pinball Parts - The coin chute is a simple rectangle. I suppose that's overlap but neither of us did anything interesting or unique... It's a 5 minute design with maybe a couple testing iterations. We both have baffles but the designs are different and are for totally different games and presumably different sizes - Yours Bally - Mine Williams. They were different companies back then and as far as I know baffles are not interchangeable.
Gottlieb Reproduction Pinball Parts - No overlap. The coin slot is a derivative of my Stern one above.

NOTE: I do not want to litter or hijack this thread for this discussion. I've drained the Satellite dish thread and removed the dish from my store even though it wasn't technically for sale. I'm happy to have further discussions if you want via a separate thread or via PM.
