Quoted from Steve_Hatfield:
My cabinet artwork is in terrible condition. I'm not that fussy about it as I don't look at it when I play games. I am thinking of sanding all the woodwork and using bedroom wallpaper with a space theme. It is much cheaper and some are really good quality. Either way, I did a search and found this site in Germany that seems to have a few Space Station things that might be helpful to all. Obviously I have no idea about the site so don't blame me.. But it may be of help to some people on here.

Cheers.

Their products get mostly favorable reviews around here with a few complaints.
The big issue for US residents is that they don't ship here, so US folks ordering from them need to use a German forwarding service. I don't know if they ship to the UK, but guessing they do.

Is there any place to get a replacement speaker grill with the Williams logo on it? One of mine is crappy.

My cabinet was painted green when I first bought it!

I got lucky and found a stencil kit and repainted my cab, it wasn’t too bad, but I did have a lot of experience doing that sort of thing.

Thank you for the pinball center link, it should be noted that they dont ship to the USA . USA residents must use a re-route company, there’s a whole thread on it somewhere around here

Hi. Have seen a variety of decal sets, but the more I think about it and if you look at all the present day machines that come with loads of different cabinet artwork. I'm going to use a space themed wallpaper or something similar to achieve something a bit different. The basic 3 colour stencil of the originals back then is a bit dull. I will be keeping it for ever. So it won't matter for resale value.

I've added 6 clear star posts lit with green LEDs and mirrored the sides.

So green! Looking amazing. Pretty neat how something as simple as green GI lighting during a 3 ball multi-ball can be so much fun.

What art is that under your ramp, it looks fantastic and right in theme with the game

This pin was a complete shocker to me.

I’ve owned most system 11s. This one is the complete package. They nailed the theme. The music and playability of the pin actually make it feel like you’re playing in space. Absolutely fantastic machine and is bolted down. Easily a top 5 system 11 for
Me. Challenging as hell.

Nothing under the ramp. Just the coil. I think the original ramp was black opaque. Mine has the blue translucent replacement that was available a few years ago.

Mirror blades and lit star posts! Great job

So what's different about your ramp is that you have a space shuttle graphic under it that the rest of us do not, can you get a couple of good pics for us?

I love the translucent blue. But I don’t like seeing that random coil.

Needs a decal I think too

I remember there being decals like that for Bride of Pinbot. Ramp decals or after market mod ones.

I never noticed it before.... Now I see it. There might be a way of lighting it.

The Freeplay40 blue Space Station ramp is awesome. Best thing I did to my machine after installing green and frosted white LED bulbs for the general illumination.

It came with the game. I never realised it was there as didn't know any different. As it sez both stop and score and lock when lit, maybe it was made using a graphics program. It can't be too hard nowadays to scan or use a few pics to make your own bespoke images and then print them.

Quoted from interconnect:
If you're positive you have the right bulbs in there, the next place I'd go is the resistors. Yes, they are on a small board on the back wall of the cabinet.

Pulled out the flashlamp resistor board, and sure enough, R4 was was bad! Ordered some from Amazon and replaced it today. All flashers are now working! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
