Quoted from hazmat7719:

Do you still have the stencils?

No stencils.

I took a perspective corrected pictures of a Touchdown off the internet and projected it on the side of the machine and masked it off using tape and a straight edge.

Quoted from mrm_4:

This is brilliant man!

Thanks- If going to try it, my suggestions.

1) Hook a laptop to the projector so you can alter/perspective correct the image in real time.

2) key the image location off the cabinets leg mounting holes, flipper buttons and side rails.

3) Use a steel rule or yardstick to make sure straight lines are actually straight.

4) Find the best image you can of the pin that is square to the camera as possible. Less chance of perspective errors. Use a ruler to make sure points are all even.
