Self explanatory.

I'm looking for the face of a gottlieb wedge head back box. I suspect that an entire head would be easier to find though.

Rich has a nice Drop a Card head I sold him for peanuts about 15 years ago that is complete and had a near perfect backglass in it. A few months ago I needed a back door metal channel for the King Pin I picked up and Rich gave me the channel from the Drop a Card head.

You may be able to get this head from him. The head came from a guy here in NJ that was using the head as a lamp in his bedroom, I always wonder where the lower cabinet ended up for this game. It's in nice condition. Rich's Drop a Card had a plastic overseas type backglass and he wanted a glass backglass for his game and this one came up for sale, so I grabbed it for him.

I am fortunate to have a wood working buddy close by that gives me a face lift when I need it, ie replace the veneer on these wedgies. I usually have a spare head in stock waiting for the next project

I was planning on replacing/repainting the face, but if you're willing to part with the head, I'm willing to take it!

I'd love to find a new veneer for the head of the King Pin (1973) I picked up over the weekend. For that matter, I wouldn't mind replacing the veneer on an old 1962 Rack-A-Ball head I have. If anyone is selling, I'm interested...

touch base with ken (pinhead52) he gets them made and he could ship 2 or 3 sandwiched between some cardboard adout 25 bucks. i have seen them and they are really nice. i would not mind having a few on the parts shelf myself.

If you have a router and can trim the excess after applying to the face then we can probably arrange a couple. I actually have a spare 1962 head if you wanted to do a swap out.
