I had until recently a Dialed In CE and also had a mostly populated Spare CE playfield for it, both had low inserts. All were too low.

Quoted from kruzman:I totally agree with your angle. I have learned thru the years, its the way to go. If you know you want a very nice title, start putting together the parts that are hard to find, or take a long time to get cleared, or if you find a deal. Back when I used to go to a lot of shows with dayhuff, I would grab any used part that was a good price, and I figured I would use in the future. I traded some work for BG's from shay a couple years back. He makes the best backglasses hands down! I got titles that I really want, but they are games that are so dang hard to find like queen of hearts, minstral man, and knock out. Hope to some day have at least one of those.
BTW here is some stuff I am looking for
I need a nice used or repro flight 2k BG
cpr pf for strikes and spares for a game restoration
I need to borrow or buy a high speed pf to make a dimple template. I will pay for shipping, and what ever you want.
I am looking for pfs to have in stock and for my collection. trade or cash. NOS/Repro/pf's I cleared and you didnt install, and also some used ones. Off hand I want a nice Genie, Amazing spiderman, superman, Hulk, or any wedge head pfs. I think thats the direction I am going next. That eldorado would be a blast since I have been playing the hell out of my eldorado city of gold. (there are 16 drops lined across the top. If you dont drop them all before you loose the ball, they all come back up. I bet I drop them all, in one out of 20 balls).
I do have some games for trade:

There was a guy on the high speed thread who just picked one up with a trashed playfield but came with a spare populated playfield that he was going to fit, might be worth asking if he could send you the trashed one?
On another note my replacement FT CPR playfield arrived damaged, annoying as this is a nice one. Print good and inserts feel flush.
Waiting to here what they can do for me.

There used to be a guy here in the UK called Manny who did the best cabinet restorations/decals and made new cabinets too, people moaned he was too expensive but his work was second to none. I took my FT cab and backbox over 10 years ago to restore and came back amazing, anyway he used to make alsorts from wood and made me some oak rails which are really nice.
On a side note my new FT playfield started to warp a little so put some rails on.

Quoted from cottonm4:That's '59 Cadillac tail lights. In 1960, the "broken back" on the fin was lessened a little bit and the the double rocket lights were replaced with a long vertical tail lights.
The Ghostbusters vehicle is a '59 Caddy with the rocket lights.
The '59 is the one Caddy collectors drool over. It is a little more valuable than the '60 model.

This is the one that started it all.
The 1948 Cadillac.

This is Billy Gibbons ( ZZ Top ) Boyd Coddington built '48.

The '59 Caddy was the zenith for finned cars. By 1963, the Caddy fins were slowly going away. Chevy put fins on the '57 but got rid of them in 1958, but went with the "Chinese" finned tail lights in '59.
[quoted image]
Chevy, in '61 "broke" the fins, and by '61 Chevy was done with fins.
Automotive styling just went nuts in the 50s with the auto makers trying to make their cars look like jet airplanes.
Don't forget about that '58 Plymouth called Christine.
