Quoted from arcadebeast:Should I put a wanted add up?
Can't hurt. Post #2 says it all though.
Quoted from northvibe:I bet it would be very complicated/hard.
Well they pulled it off in '87.. I know what you mean though. There is the vacuum forming, cutting out, brown ink or paint process, decal making and installing. The decals would be labor intensive to install, so they should just include them on a sheet and the customer installs them. There are many decals, so that would be quite a job.
Not sure when the brown painting would be done. This could all be done easily enough by the right guy or company. It probably has to be done for the love of pinball vs. the prospects of making big money and that is always a big obstacle.

yeah, I concur. I typed but then deleted, maybe someone could figure out a 3d printer version. Not sure if they have opaque colors etc. But multi color printing is getting better. The vacuum form wouldn't be much harder than people that redo ramps, it would be coloring...and if even someone could make the clear or base color forms....people could hand paint or decal etc...be a good place to start. I'd like a fire! but man it would be nice to have replacement parts
I was chatting with someone who was missing so many pieces out of several buildings, he was considering flat plastic, with Railroad Model Buildings...Lit up, or on fire, they would look really cool, if done right....

That would work! I’d like to see the finished result. A Fire mod!

Quoted from arcadebeast:Railroad building Never thought of that. I would love to that.
I think with the buildings and fire leds, it could be awesome looking!

PA/ RI, hopefully we can make a love connection here.
Hey arcadebeast if you end up getting the whole cabinet PM me. I'd be willing to pay you just for the skillshot plastic off of it. Thanks
Quoted from arcadebeast:I sent him a message Just waiting for reply. Thanks
I wrote him about an hour before you and never heard back. 
He may have been flooded with emails.
