For those that have replaced their dome, how did you go about getting it? Ice sells the dome I need for $385, but I was quoted $425 shipping. Over $800 for a dome is not something I would even consider. I was looking around and saw that a local distributor (Betson) has it listed for $510 (or so). I was just looking to see if there was a more economical option.
Thanks,
Quoted from Sirgubster9:I contacted betson and they said that they basically have it shipped from Ice so you would still be paying the 425 shipping plus 510 for the dome, so it would even cost you more ha ha. Ya I am looking for the exact same thing you are. if you can find something more reasonable please let me know because I will be right there with you.
Uggghhh....I assumed that the $508 was to Betson's location. (only 30 mins from my house). It is insane to me that a 20lb part costs more to ship than a pinball machine. I wonder if we use another freight company shipped to an airport. (usually much cheaper than delivered to your door). I had some slot machines shipped this way a few years back. I think I paid $150.
My dome isn't atrocious. I took out some of the haze by flame polishing it. But I wouldn't mind a new one.
Quoted from ralphs007:How does the dome get scratched ? Is it from the puck hitting the dome,or just careless players?
Mine was off route.
Quoted from Blitzburgh99:Even HUO domes will get scratched at some point. It just doesn’t take much for scratches to show up.
I'd agree with that. Though mine was on route prior to me purchasing it, a lot of the scratches are on the inside.
Quoted from Sirgubster9:is the bubble only 385 without shipping? I say only like its a small number... so expensive ha ha. and are you able to just purchase the item and pick it up at there store or factory or whatever or do you have to pay for shipping to somewhere no matter what?
Yes, the dome alone is $385. They are about 8 hours from me which is not an option. I'd consider 90min drive (each way) but not anything longer.
Quoted from trauma:flame polish or buffer, I would research both.
I flame polished mine. But flame polishing can be dangerous to perform if you haven't done it before. (By dangerous, I mean to the product, not to you). If you don't do it properly your will risk damaging the plastic.
