I actually print shirts for my second job and I’m so tempted

I also became a member of the club recently. Saw a stupid good deal that almost looked like a scam or spam post. It wasn’t. Sat in a lady’s home for the last 25 years until I scooped it up. Game plays 100%, has some playfield wear between the flippers and up by the pops ( I wonder if I can find the artist above to commission a touch up job ). Photos were from when I moved it off the truck into my shop before even wiping it down. Clear Titan bands and comet leds arrived for it today. The deals are still out there

I’ll be sure to post more photos when I get it all cleaned up. Very tempted to hardtop it. The pin gods have definitely been on my side, a few months prior to this, I found a Williams Millionaire on FN marketplace that also sat in a woman’s home for over 25 years and picked it up for free. Displays were gassed, but the game worked flawless and I put an xpin led in it. Still don’t know how I pulled that one off because she said people were offering her 1K-1.5k and still just gave it away to me because she wanted someone to enjoy it. It was good to be reminded that kind people still exist.
Thanks! Your machine looks damn good dude! What are you printing those coin slot cards on? I’d be interested in some if you plan to make more!
Quoted from Colsond3:Got mine pretty much done. CPR plastics look great.
Felt great to play some games on this thing after buying it as a complete basket case, ripped apart in boxes two years ago. Luckily almost all of the parts were at least there.
Just waiting for the coin door plates from Matt. [quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Tossed some comet leds and clear Titan bands on my xenon last night, messing around with some lighting schemes. Loving how it’s looking so far and how the Titan bands get a cool glow effect. I do want to covert the left hand side lights to GI and may add a spot light or two to open up the center of the playfield as well as adding some trough lighting. Colsond3 are you making any more of those coin door cards? If so I’d be interested!

It does wash a bit of the the color, but I think a couple spotlights will help with that, while keeping the overall look I have, and I really dig the glow it gives the clear bands. I took inspiration from a friends stranger things machine with the UV kit when I decided to try this on xenon, and ordered a bunch of comet warm whites I can pop in if I don’t like it. I also plan on using some 6v led strip lighting in some areas. I really do appreciate the honest criticism and opinion. I also need an led bar for in back of the tube, and possibly will toss a white one there which may give some light up that way. If mrm_4 can’t get us a set, maybe he can give us the file? I work in a print shop for my second job, and while I don’t usually print things like that, I certainly could. My boss is also a pinhead with a handful of machines and would likely be into the idea. If that happens, I’d be happy to make an extra set and toss it in the mail to you, postage on me.
Quoted from Colsond3:mrm_4 made them, not me. I was just trying to poach a set.
And for people throwing a ton of blue or ice blue in this game, I’d tread lightly. I mean if you love that, have at it. But in my opinion it really drowns out the naturally colorful artwork.
I would stick with cool white or sunlight. I do have a few blue accents in mine, with two 5 SMD towers in regular blue.
Those look great! Last night I re wired the left side flashers to GI and did the same with one of the 2 bulbs in the shooter lane. Tonight I’ll do the trough lighting.
Quoted from Dakine747:I added two homemade spots recently to the slings on both my Fathom and Centaur, and it really highlights some of the most beautiful artwork on games of this era. Ran it down the kicker hole to some GI using alligator clips for easy removal. Might add some Comet matrix dimmers down the road. I used shrink wrap tubing to keep it all snug and unassuming. I wasn’t sure I would, but I’m kinda liking it.
