Making a backup of my S2000 reel strips - tips?

[Triple_Ding]

I bought a machine a while back and when it was turned on, the smell of tobacco came out of the machine.  I disassembled the complete machine (S2000 Triple Cherry) . .and cleaned everything.  I have the late model reel strips. I took a cloth and sprayed Windex on it, wiped everything. . .took all bulbs, reels, etc.  . . .. I ended up with a semi-brown cloth . . .the machine was much brighter, and the smell greatly reduced. My reel strips are OK, but was thinking of making a new set in Photoshop. Was wondering if anyone had a Template for Photoshop, so it would be an accurate reproduction.  I have a Triple Cherry - 3 coin machine.  Thank you.

Why not just scan your strips with a handheld scanner
and enhance the colors with your Photoshop program?
Can't get much more "accurate" than that!

Another way to do this is scan the symbols like bunker suggested, copy and paste them on a separate program, edit them to make the graphics look like new again by painting them at 100x magnification, time consuming but it turns out good. Then I use Publisher to make a sheet that is exact size of the strips and then copy and paste your symbols on that program. Be sure the spacing of the symbols are exact same as the original strips. Then take the files and your original strips to a print shop and let the magic begin! I've done this to a five reel game and it turned out okay. Good luck!
