Quoted from CactusJack:

Jubilee.
Oh, Wait!, I have a NOS in the closet.
Never mind.
Other than most of the pitch and bats (which often sell way North of $1000), I am racking my brain trying to come up with a Williams EM title that will justify a repro playfield that would justify the $600-$700 plus labor. The few people that would pay a premium can usually find a decent example floating around out there.
But I do wish you Good Luck with your crusade! I will be closely watching what Titles get mentioned.

Some of the early/mid 60s Williams games are really great players and would be well worth the effort. If you are looking at the game as a keeper for your collection and not worried about getting the money out of it, it would be easily worth it.

Grand Prix and Aztec are great players but there were a ton of them made and a lot of them still out there. I got a GP with a very very nice p/f so I wouldn't have need for one.

Quoted from AlexF:

Licensing may be more of a challenge for the Williams stuff. Robert Fesjian is pretty easy to work with. That's a big part of why there is so much Gottlieb stuff available.

He's not an "ogre..."

There's a reason there's little Bally/Williams EM stuff available. We all know who the reason is.

If you read or participated in the threads that happened after Pinball Rescue got "Ricked" there were a LOT of dissatisfied customers out there. A lot.

A lot of it was, they're high quality parts (and high quality guys) and people want both the parts and they want to deal with guys who do things the right way.

But another part of it was, Lee and Gordon aren't in this to get rich. They're like most of us, they just want to keep the games going and if they make some small change along the way, well, good for them. Like normal, the people who put the kibosh on it don't have the ability to make what they're making, they just want to gravy train on it. Lee and Gordon told them to go pound sand, and rightly so.

We were assured then that the rollout of EM parts was on the way. As the Judge would say, "Well? We're waiting..."
