Recently picked up my very first pin. It's a Bally Big Show from 1974. Apparently, one of the previous owners had begun a cosmetic restoration and never finished. So I am left with a backbox with no side art and missing apron art. After looking around on the net, I suspect my apron is a quick reproduction of sorts. It doesn't have as many holes as the original and it has no corner cut outs for the card inserts. It's smooth all the way across. I've included pics of an original as well as my machine. So, on top of looking for artwork, I am also searching for an original apron in decent condition. There is one listed on ebay currently but it has quite a bit of rust. I don't think the apron is game specific. Looks like several Bally's from around that time period used the same apron. Anyone have one available?

Try buying an apron decal. This site probably has what you're looking for.

J,

I am new to the forum so it won't let me PM for 48 hours. Not sure if you can PM me but if so, can you let me know how much you are asking for the apron? Or if you feel comfortable posting the price here that would be fine too. Thanks!
