I'll take one, sign me up.

#52 7 years ago

I'm in if they're unbreakable. Have you done any cycle testing to see how many hits the rubber stands up to? And the paint? I feel like the paint would wear off quite quickly...

#53 7 years ago

how would a plastic/ rubber trunk have a copyright?

#54 7 years ago

count me in...

#55 7 years ago

I'll take one too!

#56 7 years ago

Believe me, this material is unbreakable and doesn't wear. Only thing which could be a problem is the paint. We are going to test this truly, this can take a long time. We have to be sure that this is your last Trunk
About the price? I can only say that when we are finished, knowing the best paint material etc. Only a week now busy, but I like our progress and your reactions!

Now, playing and testing TOM in the weekend!

#57 7 years ago

I'd be in, mine is still solid, but it only takes one shot to end it.

#58 7 years ago
Quoted from Manic:

Do you have your "big boy pants" on? If not you may soon be told to put them on... among other things

How ironic is it that Mr. Personality has the gall to tell someone to put on "big boy pants" when wears what about a size 70 x 34 himself.

#59 7 years ago

I put in an NOS trunk, it broke apart the first game. Had another as a spare broke apart within the week. So I'm definitely in for sure!

#60 7 years ago

I'm in...Perfect it and tell me how much to pay.

There needs to be some cushioning reinforcement between the trunk and the metal frame it is mounted on.
I use 3m gel mounting squares, you can get them pretty easy. Target, Home Depot, or online I'm sure.
I've had the same trunk on my game for years with only a little damage now, but it doesn't get a ton of play really.
Here's a pic of the 3m squares. Thay are double sided adhesive and is easy to build up the required thickness.

You don't want any damage, that's where we working on. We have tried much options, but always damage in a few weeks.

#63 7 years ago

sign me up!

#64 7 years ago

I would love one or two of these. Please add me to the list!

#65 7 years ago

I'm in... I have a spare trunk, however, it's as brittle as a potato chip.

#66 7 years ago

I'm in for one, please add me to the list

#67 7 years ago

please add me. I have one on location. A new one only lasts week until it starts to crack/chip.

#68 7 years ago

Still testing, next one with silver/ black

trunk5 (resized).jpgtrunk5 (resized).jpg

#69 7 years ago

in for a couple.

#70 7 years ago

I wish the trunks were that greyish blue color to match the trunk art on the cabinet.

Humzzz.. Every color is possible! We will look at this option, thnx!

#72 7 years ago

It's weekend! More testing and playing with colors.

#73 7 years ago

Silver is also beautiful! What do you think?

trunk7 (resized).jpgtrunk7 (resized).jpg

#74 7 years ago

IMO = Silver is nice... however, I like the gold as it's truer to the original color. I'm in!

#75 7 years ago

Gold matches the graphics on the machine, so gold for me.

#76 7 years ago

GOLD for me!

#77 7 years ago

#78 7 years ago

Gold for sure.

#79 7 years ago

Enough of this title produced, if there are 3 color options offered at least I think would be good. Silver and black looks amazing. If buying a couple it's also an easy mod to change every now and then. I'd be in for 2 in different color now.

#80 7 years ago

Id like one of each the black/gold, and black/silver

#91 7 years ago

#94 7 years ago

#95 7 years ago

georgio are you taking down names of those that express interest or will this be something that becomes available and just placed up for sale? They look good and (ironically) my existing one just broke so I am in when they become available!

#96 7 years ago

I'm if you're taking names! Otherwise just wanted to say really cool project.

#97 7 years ago

I'm interested.

We are testing a lot, not only by us, but we have also sent a few in NL to TOM owners for testing. Finding the best materials. When we know exact which materials are best we will slowly producing. It's a hobby project not a factory.
The ones we made will be offered in this topic from number 1 who is interested till the last reply is done.
At that stage the final price and shipping costs are known. I will contact you by PM.
After the list is done I will place a link for future orders.
Fair enough?
