Quoted from Squeakman:

I talked to the Virtua Cabinet guy and he is super nice. The problem I had was a fully assembled cabinet from him was cheaper than the shipping. I wish we had a guy out west who did cabinets. I have a Sorcerer cab I've been considering just getting done, the old one is pretty rough. Btw, absolutely amazing work on this game, its gonna be amazing when done.

You may want to call me again. I'm coming up with $250 for shipping (yes, I do eat a bit). That's less than a third of the cab price.

I'm definitely excited to see this one finished. It's been my favorite table for years. Had one, sold it. Ugh.

Any chance I can come play it when you're done? Believe it or not, I have yet to play a machine restored in one of our cabinets! LOL

Quoted from Soulrider911:

Ok guys so need an executive decision here, as that had occured to me also... as random as it may sound I dont want to lose the glass tap. I feel its one of the unique features of whitewater... Pretty sure if there is space issues I can figure something out, little trimming here and there, heat gun etc... And yes! noahfentz if you make it to norcal you welcome to come play anytime

It's my understanding that it's going to hit the glass even 1/8" lower, probably even a 1/4".

It isn't a feature, it worked out pretty much by accident, but I think the ball gets a lot more than 1/8" air. You should be good.

I used to live in Los Gatos, but moved to be closer to family. Some day, perhaps ...

Quoted from cosmokramer:

Thats crazy that after waiting for so long for a replacement it came with such an obvious error. I hate to say anything negative about Paul's business, but that should have never happened...

It actually isn't an error. Just as discussed earlier in this topic, every restorer has a different preference. Chris (HEP) likes them down and back 1/8", as do others. We, therefore, leave that to them. WH2O is even a special case, where there is two distinct placements, depending on where in the run it came out. It's not something we can 'undo' once done, and we ship great distances. Drilling them is a much bigger potential problem than not drilling them. I learned that the hard way. Never again.

I originally did do them for Soulrider911, but they weren't part of the original order. I did them as a favor when he asked. When we replaced the cabinet, we replaced the cabinet as ordered. I have apologized for missing that little detail. It was easy to forget after the extended backorder on the decals. :/

I am always happy to help when someone reaches out, as well.

Quoted from cosmokramer:

Fair enough, thank you for clarifying. I just remember that the first cab was drilled, so I thought it was overlooked on this one...

No worries. I definitely thought it worth clarifying. I think it's also worth clarifying that we had to wait like three months (!?) for the licensed decals to arrive to match the backbox. It was a long wait for me, too. Not a position that's fun to be in. Ugh.

After nine years of cab building, I've fully replaced cabs for some pretty crazy stuff. In one instance, I had to replace a TZ cab for using 'OEM' hinges that didn't match the nickel plated 'OEM' ones he wanted to use. Apparently, there's about 5 different aftermarket 'OEM' backbox hinges for WPC cabs. When I offered to nickel plate hinges to match, I was told they wouldn't match the mirror blades!

I stand fully behind everything I build, so there has to be some assurances those silly, little things aren't going to cost me hundreds to replace and ship.
