Yep.
Most likely my reality as you can pick up a cherry SS JP for $1500.00 vs at least twice that for the EM version that may only be in very nice condition.
An SS JP would be my first SS if I went that direction.
Quoted from ccotenj:i know this is silly, but if someone made a sound rom that made a ss version "sound like" an em version (score reels and relays clicking, score motor running), a ss one would be more desirable to me..
Not that silly for transitional era Gottlieb pins like JP, Sinbad, Cleopatra, Close Encounters, Charlies Angels, etc. as all that would have to be done is a kit with an SS driver board for the EM looking/functioning Score Wheels which have already been made by Fabulous Fantasies for their SS King of Diamonds.
If this was done I would buy an SS JP and buy the kit as well as I am sure many would as you would have a cool hybrid of an SS that looks like an EM.
Space inside the Head for the Score Wheels to fit would be my only concern but the SS ones do not take up as much room as the EM ones so by maybe using a Pascal all in one MPU you would free up a lot of space in the Head to fit the new driver-sound board/score wheels. A lot of unused space in those SS Cabinets as well.
Think how many folks would want to buy EM looking pins like Joker Poker, Charlies Angles, Close Encounters, etc. and how prices would start rising as desirability for these titles increases because of this kit!
Hotdog!, Someone start making these!
