Quoted from pinhead52:

Ok pf is finished. Some folks want the Wizard delivered in a shallow Abra (matching) cab versus the TeamOne cab.
I had a local cab maker make me a couple of cabs. i took the day to mount all the standard hardware and verify all the pieces.
Uchannel, new siderails from PBR, pf supports, lockdown bar reciever. coin door, coin slot bezel and mount and coin slot...
Trouble in paradise. The Wizard pf was not cut with a coin chute cutout... I show a Flipper Pool pf to show the needed cutout. And if we were to attempt to cut one it would run into lift cutout. Ugly

So... we can put Wizard into an Abra cab but the coin slot is not going to function... Will reach out to everyone asking for this option to confirm.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

So to fit in to the Team one cabs that are deeper the slots aren’t needed. I am fine with out having the coin slot working on my shallow cab, great work Ken!

Very nice any chance we could get a peek at the front of the new coin door tomorrow?

Ken that looks fabulous I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas. Looking at the front of my Abra. I’m amazed how rough the paint work was hopefully we don’t need to replicate the drip by the shooter. . Again Ken great work!

Ken any thoughts about manufacturer certificate and serial numbers on top of the back box?

Took a moment to use my paint stencils to add a serial numbers. Front of the cab might be a little on the large size..[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

The serial numbers are are nice especially the front cab. I like the details on the coin door, paint on the logo, NOS red start button and PBR keyed locks. You really don’t miss much great work Ken!

On team one it is not in common to have most of the targets down when you first complete the rollovers you need the 5 and 6 dips to reward the the wow. Best case scenario is to complete all the Drop targets hit the center target get the wow reset the drops then get the last rollover that will and light up the drops for additional wow’s. Much easier said than done it’s a very rare day when that happens.

Quoted from pinhead52:

And here is completed Wiz #14, serial 8012 (an early buy but a deferred delivery). Wiz #16 I build will be serial 8028, sold 12 kits, each with their own serial number stencil.
A couple extra pics showing how I adapted it into a shallow cab and different door. Actually the harness lends itself to the older doors, biggest hack was pulling out the lighting leads to terminate on the wall of the cab. Unfortunately the coin slot is non-functional, the pf does not have the early 70s cutout for the older style chute. I needed to take my router to a couple of pfs but its a real pain.
And the TeamOne sacrificed for this Wiz was actually a sample game with hand written relay labels. I had Peter Kosh do a cleanup on these to reproduce/reuse. Certainly a lot more readable.

Boy I really like the detail of hand written relay labels.
