If we're taking votes - how about Classic Stern (I need Meteor)! Many Bally aprons have repro labels available that we can use in a pinch when refurbing those aprons, but no one is making the old Stern Electronics apron labels anymore. I'd be willing to buy a whole reproduction apron for Meteor if one was available.

I think most people in this thread understand this and are just hoping some enterprising, creative and artistic folks will recognize that there's still demand here to tap into. If not an entire reproduction apron, at the very least reproduction decals for those hard-to-find aprons (all early Sterns, '84 EBD with the Bally/Midway logo, etc. etc.) that can be salvaged via sand-blasting and repainting the base color.

I should've known better than to buy something from Classic Arcades. It's just so frustrating that he takes the time to make a decent looking repro design-wise and the decal itself is good but totally F's up the color. This is what he thinks the Blue in Night Rider should look like. Arrrrghhh!!!

Well this is ironic - I just stumbled across a Classic Arcades eBay posting for a Bally Black Jack apron decal set that looks a lot closer to the actual Night Rider BLUE vs. the Powder Blue he's using for his Night Rider decal set. So he has the ability to print the darker blues. I reached out to Jeff to see if he'd exchange.

I got a short one sentence reply from Jeff this morning: "I will send you a Black Jack".

Here's hoping he follows through. If he does, I've gotta give him a thumbs up on this particular transaction.

There's hope! Jeff sent me a tracking number this morning!

I've been looking for a classic stern apron decal set (for Meteor) for over a year. No luck yet.

That would be fantastic, @gdonovan, thank you in advance. I've waited this long so a few more weeks (or months) is no big deal.

If you're custom making them, this may be an opportunity to make it really fit my restoration color theme. My apron and shooting gauge are powder coated black (should've wiped the finger prints off before taking the photo):

Here they are in the pin:

Here's a pic before media blasting and powder coating. Would LOVE to change the OEM orange to red on both pieces if you could:

Got the free "Black Jack" apron decal set (on the left) from Jeff today to replace his Night Rider (on the right) - it's not an exact match, but it's certainly closer to the original vs. the pale blue he has on his Night Rider apron decal set. Close enough - I'll use it.

One other thing I just noticed - his Night Rider shooter gauge has a pale blue dot at the bottom of the gauge vs. the red dot on his Black Jack shooter gauge (which matches the red dot on the original Night Rider apron!).

Wow - that's nice. I wish I had a FG to put it in.
