The Power" decal for Addam's Family, installed...

Man I wish you could do gold cuz my all brassed Elvis would love some of these

Quoted from bdaley6509:

I'll add it to the list! Anything in particular you'd like to see as far as the designs?

Quoted from Grinder901:

I have some gold, but the adhesive backing is white, and you may see an "edge". I'll cut a sample design later, stick on a cap, and post here later so you can see if that's something you could live with. If so, I'll create some designs.

I could also try spray painting different colors, but I'm not sure of the longevity of the paint in regards to adhering to the vinyl. I'll give it a shot!

#106 7 years ago

So, here's what the installed Addam's Family set looks like so far, 4 of 5. Only cap without a design is top left, under the ramp- go with the existing "AF" design? Or something else???

So, here's a sample with the gold material I have. Turns out, the white edge is really only visible up close, doesn't seem like it would be too noticeable, if at all, from player's perspective. Let me know what you think....

I'll need a closeup overhead pic of pop bumpers so I can see how screw holes are aligned, for starters. If they're at different angles, and not oriented vertically, I'll need to send you some blank center pieces so you can mark where the screws are.

Post a pic and we'll go from there!

#110 7 years ago

PM sent. I don't want to derail the thread with my order. I took a bunch of pictures.

Have you had a chance to look into being able to do the old apron labels?
You are the only person I have asked or shown what I am needing. After running across your mod thread here, I wasn't sure if they are something for someone who specializes in making them or if it's something you could do without being to much trouble?

Would I be better off taking the originals somewhere (not even sure what type of business to contact other than a print shop) or is the scan file good enough for making reproductions?

#114 7 years ago

I haven't had a chance to do work with them yet, hopefully tomorrow night.

The problem with the scans, is that they will show all the discoloration, fading, and glare as seen in the scans. I will have to completely re-create these. As I mentioned in the email, the ones with only text will be relatively simple, however the larger one with the animal pictures will be a bit more difficult, as I will have to copy them into photoshop, and completely remove everything around them, then re-create everything with the new image. Regardless of who does it, it will take some time

Should look really good on the new reprod playfield when it gets shipped and installed.
I forgot about the melted spot on the pop bumper cap from the old #555 bulb that use to be in it.
I will have to buy a new cap and another decal to go with my new playfield.
Thanks, I think these are really cool looking.

Thanks for sharing Jon! Glad you like it. That's actually upside down from how it was intended, but it looks cool that way too! Hope the playfield swap goes smoothly!

#120 7 years ago

If you ever get bored here's one I would put them on.....
Bally "Mousin Around"
Maybe a mouse, piece of cheese, cat (I see you already have a cat), or "Bally"
