If you need another option to buy from, I have a set of decals I can sell. I was planning on using them but now I'm going the RadCal route.

Quoted from Davi:Being licensed doesn't mean high end quality as default - it can be, but not guaranteed. IJ cabinet decal is a tough one, due to orange color, very hard to print it (in fact impossible) compared to silkscreened orange.
Don't they have real pictures about decal (only about hologram sticker)? Strange... Better to ask for pictures, there are many version out there.
Did Bally/Williams even release a genuine OEM decal replacement? A lot of the new decals I see being put on these cabinets always seem to have somewhat minor differences. Not just color differences either, but actual drawing differences.
It's as if each seller freehands a design and sells them instead of doing a 1 to 1 exact copy of the original cabinet art. I always thought Licensed decals meant you get an exact copy of the original art, but that doesn't seem to be the case?
Quoted from Rum-Z:I bought licensed "Next Gen" Dr. Who head decals for my Dr. Who resto, and they completely re-did the art. The stars were different sizes and the Tardis designs were way more detailed and had completely different shading than stock decals. I was like WTF? and into the trash they went. I don't know what the f*ck the artists are thinking here. Replicate the stock design or let us know you took these liberties so we don't buy them thinking we're getting stock art.
Here are mine I bought. I like the colors on these, especially the orange transitions. But there are changes on them such as the outline of the sun being more pronounced and having an orangeish halo around it vs. official Williams art. These were made in 2002. Very odd why decal makers don't just replicate the original as it was intended.
