Can I join the club?

As you can see, all the cabinet red is faded, of which I haven’t got around to doing the stencils yet.

Lucky enough to purchase a CPR playfield and plastics set back in 2012.
The plastics lighter blue does better suit the blues on CPR playfield.

Just for fun, I had a used 15” widescreen topper (ex-slot machine) with SD media player running five minutes of shuttle launches on a constant loop.
Topper has no sound or interaction with machine play. Just for attraction.

Quoted from beatmaster:

is that the stencil from classic arcade?

Thanks for asking that rhetorical question, because it never crossed my mind and it appears that also got shafted and have some problems ahead of me.

Turns out that I did purchase Classic Arcades ones via eBay a long time ago and yes, now realise I have the wider back box version machine.

After reading your SS restoration thread and double checking the BB stencils first, even if I had a slim BB, those border lines are way, way off! That’s just terrible and they still list them on ebay which you can clearly see the alignment error in the description photos.

Looks like I have lots of cutting ahead of me centralising the spaceman/logo and doing my own consistent border lines.
Any heads up on cabinet alignment issues I’m about too soon discover would be great?

Out of interest, are the Twisted Pins ones made for the wider BB? I’m guessing the Marco ones are just re-selling Twisted Pins?

Thanks again,
Paul.

Quoted from BrewersArcade:

Anyone have a source for the wire gate on the Space Shuttle toy? Just realized mine is missing and I never realized thats how the switch activated!

Quoted from MinturnMiler:

Just received a new shuttle model and wondered what the holes were for on the front end near the nose. I read here that there is a wire piece that goes under the front of the shuttle which I never had. My question is what is that piece for?

Marco stocks the wire gate.

Get some blind rivets and pull the middle pin out. You can then glue rivet in shuttle model each side, so the gates spins freely.

I just made up a bracket to mount a switch. (mine was missing) Get something like this, which you can cut and bend to length.
