Seawitch and QS are the only two I can think of.

#53 3 years ago

Also Galaxy, wild fire and Dracula.

#55 3 years ago

Don’t forget about Dracula.

#57 3 years ago

Read the last 4 posts. I was joking. Haha

Quoted from Jjsmooth:

Nope. I have a 6 bank I can modify.
Hope I dont have to.

Sure beats covering the hole with tape!

#59 3 years ago

Galaxy has a 4 bank drop target

Edit: slochar said this, didn’t see it

#60 3 years ago

so i guess that guy I sold those parts to would not come off the 4 bank? I am pretty sure it had one from Galaxy in the box.

#62 3 years ago

damn, sorry man. I wish I would have known you needed it.

#63 3 years ago

I think there should be enough room underneath there for a six bank in that four bank spot.

#64 3 years ago

I have a 5 bank from a Hot Hand that I just loosely dry fit in my QS playfield. I'd be surprised if a 6 bank fit but worth checking. I've got a 4-bank so I don't need the 5. PM me if you're interested in it. I can try to do a little more to make sure it'll work or not.

ps. woody76 I pm'ed you about that metal parts guy. I am trying to hunt down a couple (2 each) of these pieces from 3 bank assemblies.

Well sir, you might be in luck because I just acquired some more stern parts and I am pretty sure there is some 3 bank assemblies

#66 3 years ago

Heres how a 6 bank kinda fits..

Crazy how much worse the game would be if that whole area was gone.

Quoted from chuckwurt:

Quicksilver is a great example of something being greater than just the sum of its parts. Not much in it really, it has about the same or lower coil count than similar games of that era. It just works really well with those great shots and ruleset. I operated one in a bar and grill for about six months and it would routinely outearn the Tron LE sitting next to it.

#71 3 years ago
Quoted from Jjsmooth:

Just extend that hole using a router and make it a 6-bank target

#72 3 years ago

This is how a 5-bank with one target removed will fit. Seems like if you just move the spinner arrow screw to the other side, all would be kosher.

Ignore my screwed up common line for my bonus lamps. Used the wrong dimple, easily fixed though.

Good stuff, good prices.

What are “Resto decals”?

Located in the backbox. New prints of them. Dresses up the machine nicely.

#78 3 years ago

Yes, he makes sets for alot of different era machines.
The WPC sets are quite extensive. They are a nice finishing touch

Thank you. I am going to need to get some of these

#83 3 years ago

I need a 4 bank drop, and they dont grow on trees.
I'm going to try to make the 6 bank I have from Meteor into a 4 bank.

The most tedious part is cutting notch for c-clips.

I think this is gonna work.

You really do not need the C clips. Those two Allen screws will hold it all together.

I know, but if I can do it, I will.

#92 3 years ago

Dare I say that looks very.....smooth.

Thx, Chuck.
BTW, I still cant get DL off my mind.

You aren’t the first, and won’t be the last.

A couple guys asked how I am cutting the frame parts.
Like this.

Installed the outer orbit ball guides from djblouw. Thanks for making these available.
He didn't have the inner wire forms ready yet, and after looking thru my crap pile, I found these...and I think they are perfect as is. Sometimes u get lucky.

Really really nice. I’m super impressed and I bit envious!

Looks nice. FYI, Quicksilver uses 4 drop targets with a green "S" and 3 drop targets with a yellow "S". Steve at PBR has them in stock. $4.00 each.

Tractor Doc also makes green and yellow "S" decals that will work with any plain face target.
