Does anyone have a new set they can let go? I've been waiting 3 months for PBL... No I am not going to pay crazy money, yes I would like to buy your set. Thanks

I seen a set of brassed legs on twisted quarters website for $99
Was thinking of picking up a spare set for my TAFG

Sweet! I had no idea about twisted quarters, just ordered a set. Couldn't beat $11 fedex 1 day shipping... I am only 1 hour away from Sarasota. I will post pics for anyone once I get them.
Yes please post pics,
Legs seem to be so thinly coated on the WMS machines I want another set standing by for my Addams 
How do these compare to the original legs?
It seems the originals are thinly plated brass and not mirror finish, almost matte in appearance,
Pictures would be great guys!
Do the competitive products ones match the factory appearance closer to Mikes?
I can imagine Mikes to be a mirror finish brass, and I don't believe the factory ones were mirrored,
At least the ones on my tafg aren't
yes mikes are mirrored and a bit more in price. but i got a set of his since he did all the other brass work for my TOTAN. c p these to me would be great for tom or tafg. factory replace. dont know about twisted quarter ones they maybe great to. just saying if i wanted factory looking gold for a nice factory look i would buy from competitive products. if i wanted mirror brass high end restore i would get from Mike. jmo
This is my thread with my HUO TAFG,
If you look the brass plating isn't uniform from the factory,
It seems the side rails are mirror finish brass then clear coated,
The lockdown bar is brass plated and has a brushed finish and it also clear coated,
The legs however seems to be very thinly plated brass and isn't mirrored at all, same with the shooter rod housing, that wasn't mirror finish (which seems to be a really hard part to find in factory brass)
If I got Mike to re-do all my brass I fear it would take away form factory originality, Even though I know it would look better
Nothing "needs" doing, I'd like a backup set of legs and shooter rod housing
I can't speak for TAFG.. but I know the 'gold' legs on IJ and Flintstones were done with a plating process that is no longer done due to the environmental effects.
I have been hoarding a new set of the old style legs for my Flintstones, IJ or WCS. Haven't decided which yet, but I'm guessing most likely the Flintstones. IJ and WCS will have wireforms etc replated, and having an 'original' finish on the legs won't match the wireforms.
Yes they used the same legs,
I actually didn't know Flintstones came with gold legs, I knew IJ did,

Yep I have a factory 'brass' leg that I tried to clean up with some mag polish, finish came down to silver/brass mottled look.
Hey Lake. Those look great, did they come from twisted quarter? And how much were they . I need some possibly for World Cup Soccer and Flintstones.
Your old ones don't look that bad!
I really want a set of originals, even if the newer TQ ones look better 
Quoted from CASTHOF:PM Pbpins, he might have what your looking for.
I did 
He went quiet so I guess he doesn't have any (or has been super busy with this awful weather we have been having)
