I want a CD and I would take the playfield. BGResto does the backglass already, pin rescue has the plastics, etc.

There are always a couple of these tables for sale IN FRANCE on that "coin" sight (French Ebay). What we need in this community is someone with enough French presence to buy them up and ship them back to the states without asking an arm and a leg. An arm is fine. We could easily migrate a couple dozen of these across the ocean in a year.... if people don't chick out.

Are you thinking of converting??

While most of it would probably be a seamless convert with new PF, BG, and plastics, I am not certain the wedge head will have lights in the right places. Someone would have to check it, but the lights on TA don't seem to mesh with where lights are placed on CD.

CD would need work, cutting out wood in the wedge head, reorienting lights, etc.

I just overlaid the two phots.... no they don’t. Even the player numbers over scores don’t line perfectly. It isn’t far off, though. I think it would take some drilling and carving and minor shifts.

Getting someone from France to get it over here might be the tricky-expensive part. You need to buy it blind, find someone to crate and ship, and hope it works out. If you can do the work yourself, a converted TA might be far cheaper.

If adventurous, you could go to France, buy it, drive it to the QM2 in LaHavre or Hamburg, and put it in your cabin for a trip to NYC. They’ll let you keep as much as you want in rooms, but over 50 lbs you need to porter yourself.

No, I was interested in doing this as well, and did a study with photos.

Don't get me wrong--you can play the game without touching the back box. Score reels, credits, line up. Even the ball lights line up.

The lights behind artwork don't line up in my study. They will illuminate something else on the glass, and since there is so much detail it might be perfectly fine. The TA lights on character art seem off from overlaying photos.

The only function I couldn't check was the TILT light/s. I suspect they are in the same place, but I didn't have a TILT active on a Canada Dry photo.

I finally got a good look at the tilts, by examining the back of the glass.

TILT doesn't line up on the backglass either. Canada Dry is above the ONE, TA is an inch or two more left.

I’m curious about this as well. It seems only the character art is in question. If enough wood was cut out on TA, if might still work well or be easily rigged.

Using a handheld router might get a person where they need to be for a proper replica made from TA. It would be a little work in the lower left corner.

I will opt in for ONE playfield and ONE backglass
