Title: Trio of Reissues
Post by: cfh on January 28, 2009, 06:04:58 PM
Here are three reissues I made. New belly and top glass,
new reel strips. Had it all professionally printed. Worked
out great!

notice I did some modifications. For example, on the 16"
high speed, the original uses a light bar across the top.
Since i didn't have access to that, I used the graphics
from a roundtop and modified it for a 16" top.

Also notice the belly glass on JP Stampede Deluxe.
That's the design used on the 550 video version.
I thought it looked cooler, so i scanned that in and
resized it for the model 40x machines. (though I do
have the original style JP Stampede Dlx glass ready
to go too; but again i like this version better).

To the right are 16" kits like JP Limbo and Big Bang Piggy
and Short Circuit ready to go in a 16" empty machine (as seen
in the background.)  I've done others too.
Bigger version of the picture can be seen here (http://www.pinrepair.com/slots/slottrio.jpg).

Also in addition to Big Bang Piggy, Short Circuit, High Speed,
JP Limbo, JP Stampede and JP Stamp Dlx, i have done
Perfect Match, JP Party, Money to Burn, Piggy Bankin,
Riverbelle21, Safecracker, all in 16" format.  In 9" format
I've done all the above plus you can add Palace of Riches,
Reelem In, Winning Streak, Shooting Stars, stroke of luck,
and magic lamp. So what this allows me to do is to basically
take any doitmation and turn it into something else, and at
minimal cost.

All the 'glass' is actually printed on plexiglass, which is
easier to handle than glass. Just like williams, they print
on a vinyl film and apply it to the plexi, and then put a
white light block layer behind that. The only downside
is the colors are just a bit washed out compared to
the originals.  Like the black is not quite as black for
example.

I had some samples done on glass and it turns out
MAYBE a little better. but it wasn't worth the hassle.
the plastic is a lot easier to deal with and looks as good.
A local print shop does all the work. I just hand them
a memory stick with the graphics in photoshop format.
