Currently in a supply chain issue loop. Trying to resolve it.

Quoted from Mk1Mod0:

On average I can pop out a full set in 3-5 days. The problem is I am still 2-3 months behind. (Compared to where I was last year, that is awesome. I expect to be caught up completely very soon-ish.) "Wild Schutz" is a Geiger conversion I have never heard of nor seen so thanks for that. I do have a Strikes and Spares in my shhhhhhhh..stuff pile so I should be able to do that. End of January, beginning of February is likely. Meantime
I am knocking out past orders while completing the build up of EBD and contemplating a run of Dragon Fist that will rival how many Star Gazers I have put out in the world. Retirement has greatly reduced my wait times. On that note, know that I am very grateful for the infinite patience a lot of you folks have shown over the years. I enjoy helping to resurrect old machines and now I get to do it more.

State of the shop report.
Had a fantastic time at TPF 2024! I took 6 machines and each one registered several hundred plays each. (TWDLE over 450, EBD over 500, Space Invaders over 650, Taxi hit over 750 and the champ was Earthshaker with over 800 plays!) I do not know how many the Acrylic Pin got but it was being played every time I passed it. I sold some stuff, I bought some stuff and fun was had.
After TPF we took our usual trip up to WinStar to play around and, apparently, get sick as dogs. So I have been down or on the mend ever since. I do not like to make orders when sick to ensure I am not passing anything along. So in the mean time I am planning out the super-harness I will be constructing for the Multi-Bally machine that has finally come to fruition. Some Bally features and some Stern features will make for a harness that will adapt to pretty much any game I can throw into it. Thanks to a great set of boards from barakandl and displays from Pinitech is all coming together quite quickly now. I will eventually start a separate thread for that project.
The back log is ever growing and for the umpteenth time I appreciate your patience. I am high on all supplies and I should get to wipe most of this out in 5-6 months. Here is where we stand -
Eight Ball Deluxe - 11 full harness kits to be completed, several are in process.
Dragon Fist - 16 full kits to be completed. Just waiting on a play field to arrive so I can pattern out that part. Head and lower kits are already patterned.
After D/F I have 14 more orders for various games. (A mix of everything I have already done.)
Once I am close to caught up I will offer up another poll to see what I can add to the repertoire from my collection of play fields. Top candidates would be Sea Witch, Rolling Stones, Spectrum, Meteor.
