Wade K. Canada dry pf

putting together a list to gauge the interest in doing this. i know not many have the game but there are quite a few NOS back glasses floating around. the plastics have been already done by the good folks down under. the are more than enough target alpha around to convert. when talking to wade he seamed very interested in doing this since i found a NOS pf and have a NOS bg if interest is there. even as a wall hanger the pf is a piece of work. IMO one of the best art packages from the 70's em era.

Thanks for sharing that pic Dave. I love the way they Faithfully replicate it. The soda bottles. Right down to the French translation of the flavors! $7,500 for a decent one gives me pause to think about this as a project. Has PBR reproduced the drop targets? Pop bumper caps?

$7500 is the asking price. What/If it actually sells at is the real question.

I’ll go for a playfield if Wade makes them. I don’t really need one, but the art is just too good to not get in on this. Great game, to play and to admire.

This would be very cool. I have a great Target Alpha sitting around and would love to do this.

Saw everything else for the conversation except for playfield and backglass.

Who the heck has a backglass? If I could find one then I would be in as well.

“eric-antoine” on pinball owners has a populated playfield but it’s located in France if you really wanted to go all out and original. It’s listed as “maybe” for sale.

It would be great if we could submit our sanded smooth "Target Alpha" playfields for screening. They would probably come out looking more authentic, and would probably save money as well.
I understand the way Wade does it, this wouldn't work because he screens first, then does the CNC milling. I wonder if anyone else has the capability to do this if given a high quality scan of the existing original. Wade seems to have a lot of irons in the fire already.

talked to wade again and stated that a lot of interest if they could find a backglass.
wade is willing to do the backglass and playfield with a combo price 1100
that is 700 PF 300 bg 100 to ship both
lets see if this changes things

I talked Donal Murphy into making the drop targets years ago when I finally got my game. He said there was no demand for them and I said "I'd buy two sets if that helps?" I guess it did because after that he did reproduce them. I do remember at that time there was a couple of the hot stamped letters he didn't have so I had to use a few of my old targets. Lots of Novus and some red paint and you couldn't tell the difference.
