You better not break her heart now... "Mom I had to sell that Simpson's to get the newest Stern/JJP release"

Ouch!

I only just caught up with this thread a little late but that is incredible what your mum did - very talented. are you sure you want to sell it, I don't think I could after my mum spent so many hours on it. Great looking machine.

Well done mum....

Curious:
How many hours did your mum spent working on the pin?
Does she like the Simpsons?

This is actually great can't believe how Baxter the cab was faded but the paint and small strokes you see give it character that I actually like a lot like a painted bilboard instead of a photos hoped sticker.

Please share the next journey with us. Very enjoyable ride,

I was at Pinball Circus on Saturday and saw the for sale sign on the game but couldn't figure out what in the hell might be wrong with it to sell it for $3300 + nos pf ...Played well and looked good in person from what I could tell (casually looked at front and left sides as I wasn't looking to buy).

...Anyway, just stumbled onto this thread...Wow--impressive cosmetic restoration.

I am very happy for you and glad you were able to share this experience with your mother. I second the other thoughts about saving this work of art for many years/generations as a way to remember her but it's nice that you will be moving onto another project.

I'm already never going to sell my TSPP, but my mother passed away years ago and if she did this, the machine would be priceless to me and I would never sell it.

I hope you got a great price and I hope the new owner finds this post and recognizes the hidden value.

All the best.

Trust me, I play the game every day I can. Only 62million last night though, pretty good Mystery Spot MB, one Couch MB, and two IS MBs. Love this game.

Good work

I thought there weren't any decals available for this machine.

Neat thread, love spending time with my mom as well, I'm sure that time was worth more than anything else!

Did she include any easter eggs That would be awesome if she immortalized your family in there!

There always are decals available, just depends on who you want to bribe for the art work.

And they all vary greatly in quality....

The prints may vary in quality, but the art work can be printed on anything.

There is various artwork out there (not sure if we are saying the same thing)..... I had a chance to look at another cabinet from another collector with a different artwork source and all the background characters were really grainy. My artwork source, all of the background characters are scaled differently from the original.

I am willing to be that there are at least 4 different source artwork files out there...

Ah, yea I thought you were referring to the material used. My bad

Just saw this thread for the first time. Your mom is welcome at my house anytime!

The machine is still getting plenty of play, one of the favorites when people come over. I still have the sillyoldelf side decals and moe's toy mod to put in.
