Quoted from Thrillhouse:

For you guys out there scratch building your SG where were you able to source these elbow brackets for the rails?

I hear Dino (metal guy in Chicago) might be able to repro these. I know he makes metal parts for Spooky...

i'm doing a scratch build. At this point, it's not as hard as you think. Many of the game pacific parts are made or in process now.

I'm working on a template for the backbox lamp boards. It would be a CAD cut stencil like used for cabinet painting.
So, you would just stick down on a sheet of plywood, drill and cut.
I'm thinking $30 shipped. Let me know if you're interested in something like this.

Quoted from Mk1Mod0:

If I cannot find another Stern one will the Stern targets work in the Bally mech?

Stern and Bally drops are almost identical except stern uses a small vertical ridge just below the tab that catches and holds the target up.

I finally finished a template for the Stargazer backbox lamp board. These are CAD perfect size on paperboard. Please PM me if you need this for your stargazer scratch build.

Quoted from Methos:

Any idea what a Star Gazer would fetch nowadays, with one of John's PFs with it?

My guess is $4500 for a nicely done, full restoration.
North of that, I suspect buyers drop off when they weigh prices of new games.

You're probably gonna have to ship parts depending on what needs replacing. Did someone try to pry off the lockdown bar? How are the plastics; CPR has those.
You could check with John Greatwich and get both a backglass and playfield...
With what these games are going for these days, it's worth putting in quality parts. especially since people already put in the effort to make these available for us.
