I think the answer is either. 6 digit is technically right but people(including me) have been using 7 digit displays because it centers a little better in the credit window.

Quoted from Mad_Dog_Coin_Op:My cabinet is nearing completion. I figure one more day and it will be done. Playfield is next.

This looks so great! Makes me excited to finish mine but I’m doing a “good enough” restoration on this one.
I did a high end restore on an Addams Family recently and it about drove me crazy. Kudos to the people who can do projects to that degree regularly!

Quoted from Its_me_aj:Basically making color swatches to see what looks the best. Depending on the size of flakes you would need a special tip.
If anyone has a special tip it's you.
Looks great!!
I've had mine playing in a wild fyre cabinet for 6-8 months or so and I'm finally getting it in its proper cabinet. Thanks for the inspiration!

There's another stargazer in the world!
This game started out as a really beat up Stern Trident and was slowly converted over to this stargazer.
You may have seen this stargazer playfield in a wild fyre cabinet at the last Texas Pinball Festival but now it finally has its own cabinet and plays a lot better too.
I could have been a lot more meticulous on the cabinet work but this game is destined to go out on location so it didn't make sense to obsess too much over it. I hope to have a quicksilver sitting next to it within a 6 months or so.

I was not able to source the correct transformer. I went with the highest stern flipper coils and it feels pretty snappy still. I'd love to find one eventually but l think this will work fine for now
Quoted from cottonm4:I this one of gdonovan's apron stencil sets?
I got the apron vinyl from a friend and have no idea where he ordered it from
