I might still have a "decent" to "nice" Playboy around. I'll check and post it here if I do. I bought a second Playboy machine last Fall trying to make one nice machine out of two and I think both had good aprons on them.

Sadly I just took a look and neither are as nice as I remembered. Not totally trashed but not nice either.

With demand for Classic Bally & Stern machines being so high it is pretty much impossible to find good used parts for them cheap anymore. As stated by someone earlier someone should really start making some good reproduction aprons & other goodies for these great classic machines.

My son Wayne (Pinitech) has made some beautiful LED displays for these great classic machines. He did it out of desperation trying to find something that looked nice in our machines. We got tired of burn on original displays and there was nothing that looked nice available so Wayne spent thousands of dollars for tooling to have his custom digits made up and they are great. If I was younger I would do the homework and get involved with making aprons but I just don't have the time or energy for a project like that at this stage in life!

In my eyes Classic Bally machines are some of the best pinball machines ever produced. You just can't beat the art on Classic Bally machines! And how can anyone not like a machine like Xenon?
