Normally they screen all of one color together. My guess is they put the game name on the blue screen instead of the black screen which is unusual.
Seems I've seen blue before on a machine also, but I don't recall it on Melody, or actually,
on any 60s/70s Gottlieb..

Hey Mopar. Check your PM.
Quoted from jrpinball:Hey Mopar. Check your PM.
No PM popped up. This happened before also, and I later found out a PM didn't arrive that I sent
till days later. Maybe it's because I joined the group fairly recently..
You had a Gottlieb in Blue? You're certainly welcome to email direct. timnewarkny at gmail dot com
Quoted from Dr_of_Style:prob ran outa black, and needed to finish the last few in a run??
That would be unfortunate for the rest of the playfield :O

Actually, you have answered the question I pm'd you about. I thought I knew who you were based on your location, and you have confirmed that by your email address.
I met you once many years ago at one of the Rochester shows.
I was up in your area recently. Geneva.

Do you remember what show? The Dome was alright, but the one at the Armory I liked best.
Sounds like you're on the East Coast. Give me a heads up if you plan again on being in the area.
You're welcome to stop in anytime. Geneva's not that far at all.. (T)
Quoted from jrpinball:It was at the dome.
The Dome was a nice time. George and I snuck up in the balcony with some beers
and had a great view of the show. I think I brought a 14' United to that one..
BTW- where about are you from?
Quoted from Mopar:George and I snuck up in the balcony
It has been awhile. I got thinking, that was the Armory. The Dome I first brought a Flipper Clown,
and then a Bally Ball Bowler which started the bowling tournament thing..
Say Jr., are you from Olean?

We're veering off the topic, and are having a private discussion that we should take to PM. I sent you another message. Check and see if it came through. Try to PM me, and I'll see if I get it.
Quoted from boilerman:i have stripped plenty of playfields over the years and the game name and number screened on the upper left on the pf has ALWAYS been black. i noticed melody was screened in light blue. anyone ever see anything other than black?
Would you be willing to submit your image to the IPDB?
Quoted from I_P_D_B:Would you be willing to submit your image to the IPDB?
i will upload a larger resolution image to ipdb
my thought was that they screened the name/model number on the last screen (black ) for hundreds of titles, why change change the process. i thought maybe they were using a new screener, but sing along was black and i would guess the same screener would of done the 4 sing along flavors.

Thank you, I now have it. Say, I just saw this thrad, where repro Melody playfields were sought?
Does anyone reading this know if anyone is remaking them?
Boilerman, how long have you had your Melody with your "blue-letter" playfield in it? BTW, what serial number is your cabinet?
Thanks,
Jay
