Awesome!
Not I can't wait to get one of those backboard decals!
..I'm kidding, of course. I'll get pics of them all installed once I start reassembling my game!

Quoted from TaylorVA:Sending them to me is the best bet to know that they are truly going to match. I've had issues, especially with TZ, in which the bottom holes that I drill did not match up precisely.
John, will do.
Btw, I have shipped all orders and am waiting on one set of MB rails to show up. I am unavailable the month of June for travel.
Interesting..
Two holes on the *top* of the ones you sent me did not match up. (For the lower/closer brace for the mini playfield.) Was an easy fix, of course..
Quoted from TaylorVA:That is odd. I have two sets of TZ templates now and will
Compare them. It's always tricky as I'm using used rails out of others games so can't always be certain that a hole wasn't errantly placed at some point.
I have a sample game, so I just filed it under 'game change'. (That, and strangely, one of the under-side screws in my game was never used.

Hey Taylor - Will you be doing rails later this summer?

Quoted from TaylorVA:Just realized it's my 10 year anniversary making playfield rails.
Thanks to anyone that has ordered a set or sent me sets to have as a template for other people's order. I've made hundreds of sets for people across the country and on at least 3 continents.
Here's to the next 10.
-Taylor
Eventually - later this year I think - I'm going to be sending you Nudge-It rails to make templates out of (you know, for the other 51 people that may need them..), and Meteor rails for templates if you don't have them already.

I meant to ask - since I'm going to have you do my Big Ben rails - is Yellow or a light blue easily done?

Taylor - Can you send me a closeup of that green? Looks like it may fit well Wil the Big Ben colors!
Quoted from TaylorVA:This is the best I got as they shipped today.

Nice. That looks like it'll match well. Curious if you have a yellow or orange, but.. Will go ahead and contact you once you're ready to take new orders.

Quoted from TaylorVA:Prepping this last batch for shipping. My daughter has the flu so won’t get to the post office until later this week.
coyote your rails are still in process. Finished dyeing but the rain has been relentless.
No rush! I'm just starting reassembly next week, and have a lot of stuff to clean and assemble before I ever get to the rails.
Thanks again!!

Quoted from TaylorVA:Sorry about the color. It's so tough to gauge with the dye. They look sharp though, thanks for posting.
No worries! Like I said - *I* was expecting a lighter color. Never expected you to match it! Since green was the least-used color on the playfield, I figured the rails would help it stand out. The back ball arch I powdercoated yellow, to match the curve and circle of the yellow on the bottomside of the clock-face. Should look nice once I get it more assembled.

Quoted from TaylorVA:I’m not sure. I don’t do them that often so need to go back and see what I’ve charged in the past. They are a total pita as I eventually start wet sanding between coats to try to get a nice, almost mirror like surface.
TZ backboard from 5 years ago.

Is that mine? I'm sorry for makin' you go through that. On the plus side - it shines nice. I did NOT cover it with an artwork decal.

Thanks for everything you've done! While I didn't realize this was coming, and am kicking myself in the ass about not placing orders sooner.. you've done amazing work, and deserve a break! Have a great stress-free time off!

They were custom made to order, and he's closed until next year.

Quoted from pinballinreno:Funhouse Red Rails finally installed from 2 years ago.
Incredible work, perfect fit! Thanks.

Ooh, that looks awesome. I like the red there.

Quoted from Dono:Cabs are tough for so many reasons - design changes galore + shipping. That being said I bet the demand is there - perhaps limiting the market - GTB EMs from 60s/70s for example or WMS SS From a specific period... collect orders and deliver at the big shows. I for one would have purchased several GTBs. Just a thought
Not to go off topic, but agreed. I would be interested in a WMS wide body cabinet for my TZ, and a classic Stern for my Meteor..

Quoted from eagle18:Hang in there Mudflaps. It took 5 days for mine to go from Midlothian to Richmond (same city) then got to me in 1 day, today. All on 1 day Priority mail. I’m only 1.5 hours from Taylor. USPS fault, not yours Taylor. The rails look great, thanks.
Oh, man, do I have stories about this.
Including the latest order I had from Taylor here - it spent over three weeks in the dist center just outside his house. It didn't move until I opened a case on it. And then it got to me two days later. (I could have driven there, picked it up personally, and driven home in 6 hours.)
I have something right now shipped from Miami Florida. It... for some messed up reason ended up going out to Los Angeles. And then flew back to Pittsburgh.
A shipment of a custom Game Boy part came from Sydney - it made it from Sydney to Washington DC in 5 days. Via Columbus Ohio. And then it took 4 weeks to get to me - a drive I could have made in 2 hours. And again, it stopped and didn't move until I opened a case.
I've been going Fedex/UPS lately because of that.

Quoted from ibis:Is there a set for Stern Meteor?
He should have template - he made mine.
On my Meteor, I went with a dark blue. I don't have them installed yet, though - PF swap will come later this year.

He lives pretty close to me-ish, if anyone knows how to get in touch with him, I'd be happy to take a road trip into VA and pick them up and preserve them.
Quoted from monkfe:Hmm...that seems to be an ad...not sure you can comment on it...maybe start a thread in the restoration area?

Quoted from ibis:Thats exactly where I posted. It required me to place an Ad.
When this thread was originally started, you didn't have to have a linked ad. Since then, it's something the site implemented - can't have a topic here that's NOT linked to a for sale ad. So things like this have to have a linked ad, or post it in a different subforum.
Maybe the "Parts manufacturers -> New parts announcements" forum.
Quoted from TaylorVA:I was given a heads up to check out my thread.

Sorry I have been absent from Pinside and this thread, but my life took a turn in which keeping up with this “hobby” job became impossible for me.
During the pandemic sourcing material immediately became an issue and because of that I was unable to properly keep up with orders. Because of persistent supply chain issues and a nonstop deluge of emails for new orders I had to make the difficult decision to end my business. There is simply not a way I could ever catch up on orders so I simply stopped taking them.
If you believe you have an outstanding order with me, one in which I confirmed by email, please send me an email to [email protected] and I’ll do whatever I can do to make you right. Please include something in the subject to let me know it’s an outstanding order.
Please understand that I cannot take any new orders.
I want to thank everyone for the support over the last 15 years and hope that the last couple year and a half have not undone all my pinball karma.
-Taylor
I can honestly say that all we want is the best for you. Take care of yourself, and if you can, preserve/forward the templates you have, so others may continue your legacy.
