Hey there, I just joined the club today. I picked one up in a pretty beat cab. I know this is an extremely long shot, but was wondering if anyone in the northeast may have a spare empty cab in better shape than mine. My front panel is pretty destroyed.

Quoted from robotron:

https://www.retrorefurbs.com/shop/fire-pinball-sideblades/ saw these disd blaes but little expensive anyone ever use this vendor?

I used their decals before many years ago and was pleased. I can't speak for recent quality.

Can anyone speak to the ring kit list accuracy in the manual? I know they are always hit and miss and if possible I would like to place just one order from Titan for the game.

Quoted from squad8:

It has been awhile since I did my Fire, but I think that it takes more 7/16”. I think that it should be 7 rather than the 4 listed.

Thank you! There is nothing worse than placing a ring kit order going by the list and then having to re-order. I mean I guess one could always order extras of everything.

I joined the club last month. I had picked this up in hopes of gifting it to my dad for father's day. Looks like he's going to get some new fishing gear instead. The cab was a bit rougher than the ad made it look and is going to require a bit of labor on my end to make it nice enough to gift.

The slings weren't working and the ad noted that. Best case fuse, worst case transistor or something more. This looks like the something more. I have a new U50 coming in tomorrow and will socket and replace that as well as swap out the four transistors in the damaged area.

Once I get it tested and working, the body work will start. Fiber glass resin to fill the major areas and then some bondo for the lesser areas and a skim coat.

After that who knows. It seems like there are no solid decal suppliers for this cab. The places overseas don't have great reviews and neither does the place that prints for PPS. Stu seems to be the only person that at one point many moons ago had vectorized art available, but he has removed himself from every online group that I can find. I may have his old CPR email somewhere. It is highly doubtful that is still works or that he still has the files.

I am open to any and all input that y'all may have on must haves, advice, decals that you have purchased and liked, and what not. I got a set of toyotaboy's brackets yesterday.

Quoted from Stretch7:

ouch .... ya that sling did some damage.

Yeah, something big happened there previous to this. The guy I bought it from had it for fifteen years and states he didn't do any PCB repairs. Something took this section down before and it could be why it went down again.

I am trying to get my Fire! back together. The back box decals that I have don't seem to be symmetrical and it's making my brain hurt. Would anyone mind taking a few measurements of the backbox art for me?

I guess maybe the points on the W, ho far each is from its respective side and then how far from top and bottom. I just spent two hours trying to align the art and failed miserably.

My friend came through for me, in case anyone else ever needs them.

I'm not sure what your budget is, but used and repro playfields can be had for this pretty cheaply. If you do decals on the PF, you may have to clear over them. I am about to deliver this one I just finished up. It's getting packed up tonight. I can try and snap some pics for you, but the lighting where I am is terrible.
