    Any Norcal retailers that sell brand new Jersey Jack pinball machines? It will save on shipping costs. Waiting for the upcoming Wonka.

    Will there be Jersey Jack pins available to play at PAGG? I am so torn between buying a Wonka or a Wizard Of Oz.

    If anyone near me has the Williams backbox warning/patent ink screening kit, i would like to pay to rent it from you. It's rather expensive to buy for a one time use.

    Quoted from jbovenzi:

    It's been about a half a year now and still looks ok to me. I don't see any curling or separation yet.
    (Of course, it doesn't have the patent numbers on it, but I do not miss them.)[quoted image]

    That looks good to me. I was thinking it would still look too glossy but that picture makes it look like it was screened. Does the decal extend beyond the very outer edges of the backbox so that it can be trimmed?

    Are there usually Invisiglass/PDI widebody sheets for sale during May's Pinball Festival in Lodi?

    How often do "clunker" 90's era Williams/Bally machines come up for sale? Looking for one to restore, primarily one of the more sought after machines. It feels like they have almost all been restored by now.

    I had a quote for powder coating those items here in Sacramento, and it was more expensive than to ship it out to another State and have it done there. Not only was the labor more expensive, but CA charges some sort of hazardous waste fee for powder coating.

    I got it mixed up, I was thinking brass plating. That was still cheaper for me to have done online.

    Quoted from ThatOneDude:

    It was going to be my Scared Stiff built from scratch....but then I've got one coming from Italy. And I've got a full cab that I'll be buying from a Creature(it will need some TLC), so that's still an option. I just don't need this one anymore, and I'm paying to store it.
    It was purchased from one of the virtual pin places by someone else for a WH2O restore. I think that the front panel was cut a hair too wide and the original resto was using extra heavy chrome which fit too tight, so he got another one made. Stock parts fit just fine as you can see from the pics. For this price, it's a great opportunity to replace that old WPC cab.

    I have been looking for a White Water to restore. Is this as-is cabinet even possible to turn into a functioning machine? I wouldn't even know if all the parts are available to buy, let alone the wiring harness. I've completely restored a couple machines so far, but this would be next level lol.

    Looking for someone that is driving to the Chicago pinball expo next week to buy games, and has room to squeeze in one game for me from the Chicago area back to Cali thanks. Let me know your price also.
