One guy says his beater is almost all white, so i'm doing some of these.

Beater???

Nothing a little airbrushing and duct tape can't fix!

Looking forward to getting a playfield. My Star Gazer plays fine but the playfield is a 'touched-up' and shellac disaster.

My Star Gazer backglass from John doesn't look washed out; it looks great!

My photography skills aren't that great though.

It's fantastic that you're going to such lengths to making repro playfields for this rare game a reality, John. I know I'm not in a rush.

Looks awesome.

I got a Star Gazer glass from John and it is really nice. Looks awesome, installed and lit up.

The playfields look awesome, John, and I'll gladly take one of the first 6 if anyone is concerned about the missing white.

My playfield was 'touched-up' as well. Can hardly wait to do the swap.

Just got home to find this big package on my porch. Must have been outside for hours!

Geez, I hope there's something neat inside ...

Awesome playfield, John. Can't wait to get time to do the swap.

Quoted from schudel5:

Probably everyone that's getting playfields are going to want new plastics and new pop bumper caps. Both of which are not available.

I made my own pops. Just ordered white caps, made this file and printed them out onto water-slide decal paper. Doubled up the top decal because of the lightbulb.

Enjoy!

Quoted from greatwichjohn:

I'm also not looking at doing any future playfield titles until Seawitch playfields are done, & pre order guys have them.

Sure you are!

Quoted from RazerX:

who makes the decals and where are they available?

You can grab the pdf I made (and shared with Redketchup) and uploaded 4 years ago here:

Quoted from greatwichjohn:

This morning I took the playfields in for clear. They were going to do 4 Star Gazer. But they might do another 4 Star Gazer, & 2 Seawitch together or later. I went to the sign shop to discuss Seawitch cnc work. They will get the art file, & do final adjustments for cnc to another playfield. Get that one verified & finally ramp up production this year. The last 6 Star Gazer are in for printing. I will post pictures with clear of Seawitch playfields before the latest one goes to the sign shop (cnc). Like I have said previous, I missed the top white lense (X) that got white ink. I missed the 4 first Star Gazer, that didn't receive white under plastics also.

Yep: #2
