Looks fantastic! Thank you for your help with testing and for supporting what we do!
Straight up exhausted from all we've done this week. Hired another friend to help us full time a few months back, not sure what we'd do if I hadn't.
Just want to say, thank you for the orders. To those of you waiting on something, it's coming and quick. This weather has been amazing for plating and our guys are catching up in the biggest way right now.
Here's a couple of pics a customer sent of the chrome SAM door they added to their Tron, which we did the other chrome on. We sell this junk, let me know if you need any
Thanks everyone!

Stern Speaker/DMD Panels in Chrome or Brass - ready to go now. I've had these for a while and just haven't gotten around to posting them up or adding them to the site. They are now on the site and can be seen on our new parts page here:http://www.pinballplating.com/new-parts
Hope everyone is doing well.
NOTE: We are currently out of quite a few things. This year has really thrown us for a loop. Many months have not been great for the business, some have been really good. We are used to doing a steady stream of plating and orders and this has been thrown off by some months wiping us out and the platers not being able to keep up. Covid is keeping many of our older guys that work, staying home due to their doctors requests to do so. This also throws a wrench in things, on top of many plating shops closing and more and more work coming in all the time. Thank you in advance for your patience. I want to do orders as fast as possible but as many of you know, this already wasn't fast, and is now at times even slower.
Hope everyone had a wonder Thanksgiving and thank you for supporting what we do. My family, my guys, and myself are incredibly grateful!
Yell if you need something!

Quoted from Manny65:The mount point on one looks different as well
[quoted image]
You are absolutely correct. Different mold altogether. Which is interesting. The bigger grip version, with small hole for bolts, seems to have been the "early" version and came on very early machines. I see one of those for every 10 or 20 of the other as we do exchanges for chroming them. I have 2 of the early ones I keep in chrome and probably 8 or so of the later version.

One is every 10 to 20 is still alot but guess with 15,000 T2's produced the first batch would have still been considerable.
Those triggers were definitely used on the initial machines - here's some pics of the trigger from the original T2 promo video. Always fun learning about the subtle differences in machines, not that you notice them when playing a game

I have never ever ever ever seen one of those triggers with a curve in it and I've seen A LOT of T2/STTNG triggers and own a bunch of them. Very interesting.

LOL I didn't notice that until you mentioned it - nicely spotted. Given this was their promo video, I'm guessing it was a prototype machine and not a production unit.

I'm betting you are correct. I would have seen one by now and we would have noticed it I'm sure of that. You look at the same thing over and over a million times, then see something different it catches your attention.
#elvis wireform exchange now available in brass. These things are always looking rough with the crappy factory plating they got. Send us yours, we'll send back a set looking like these. Got a few sets of these after waiting to find them all these years.
You can see them here on the exchange page of our site: http://www.pinballplating.com/quick-exchange-parts

Scott, I think we have already talked but just so anyone else reading sees, I don't carry the nails, but several suppliers do have them new. I do have the rails, obviously, in chrome ready to go. Glad to help!

So Chris supplied a set of flat head bolts that will in no way ever rub against the backbox hinges. They were a bigger diameter than the bolt they replaced but a 1/4” drill bit through the side of the wood cab made them work (the hole thru the metal rail was already @ 1/4”) and a bigger nut was required. These I assume are the same flat head bolts that are at the beginning of the rail under the lockdown bar.

I received this TAF wire ramp in exchange for a brass one from a TAFG. I added the flasher, switch, hex spacers and blue bumper. This thing is amazing! Chris, you rock! Super fast turn around and shipping. I can’t be more pleased! My picture doesn’t do it justice.
Thanks Chris!!!!

Dang, that looks good. I don't do plated doors on all of my machines, but this has me thinking twice about my TAFG. That looks sweet.
Just so anyone reading this knows, we've had a hard time keeping these doors in stock. I had a pallet of 20 come in in December. We had them plated and back together by early January and all were sold by the time we did. Just ordered a pallet of 40 of them this time. We'll see if that helps, but we have to disassemble, plate them, then reassemble them first, lol. Literally out of both chrome and brass on these at the moment, but we'll have more soon.
FYI also, these doors have gone up for everyone to buy them, including me, so the price has also gone up, same with steel prices. I hate price increases, but just know that I'm not making more just because the prices have changed.
Thank you everyone for your support and I love seeing everyones pictures! Every one of you is helping support our family and the guys that work for me. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
