Definitely fix them up! My heart breaks every time I hear of another machine being parted out. Good for you on the deals! Wish I could find something that sweet in my neck of the woods... seems every time something shows up around here, it's long gone before you can even respond, or some...

Hi Mike... I'm pretty good with Photoshop. I'm not familiar with the artwork you're referencing, but if you need to add something to an image, I'm sure I can help. I'd just need good scans of both, and a pointer on where you want the added imaged placed. :) -Bryan P.S. I've attached...

Here's a sample of what I've done to rebuild the broken plastic. I scanned the remains of the piece (and cleaned it up a bit) on the right side image. The left side image is the result of my rebuilding it by hand in Photoshop, after finding an angled photo of the whole piece, warping the image...

Thanks, yeah, I'd heard. My playfield is actually in not too bad shape, and I think I've found a good enough image so that I can rebuild my damaged plastics. Would be a lot less work if I could find good images, but I've got 15 years of photo editing experience under my belt, so I think I can...

Nitro Ground Shaker plastics - progress. Hi all... Now that I have the backglass done, the next thing for my Nitro Ground Shaker restoration is to either find or create a couple of the playfield plastics. I have the ability to reproduce the plastics if I have good images of them, but so far...

I may make the file available to those that request, but it's quite large (file size), so I'll have to share it from a file sharing site, I think. Send me a PM if you're interested. :) -Bryan

Hey, Jim! Yes, your photos were VERY helpful, and the shots of the back masking were great! I really appreciate the time you took to get those for me! :D -Bryan

Progress photos... Hey all... For those interested, here are some initial photos of my results so far. The backglass is not yet complete, as I still have to apply the back mask layer, but I'm really happy with the results. I had the image printed onto 3M Scotchcal film, and applied it to an...

I'll give it a shot... in no particular order... 1. Major Havoc 2. Omega Race 3. Asteroids 4. Missile Command 5. Centipede 6. Dig Dug 7. Pac Man 8. Battlezone 9. Dragon's Lair 10. Space Ace 11. Star Wars (vector) 12. Discs of Tron 13. Donkey Kong 14. Spy Hunter 15. Tron 16. Gorf 17. Galaga 18...

I frankly don't care who CFH is. In the space of one message he inferred I was cheap, silly, nuts, young, and had no idea of how backglasses are created or work. He doesn't know anything about me. The message was, despite his claim, condescending. Condescending; adjective, demonstrating...

Wow. Condescend much? I'm not going to bother responding to the variety of assumptions you've listed. But a couple of quick points; I'm not young, I have more than a 'bit' of experience in image editing, and I'm fully aware of the mask layer. That aside... if you can't keep positive about a...

Agreed for the most part, but the cost is actually less than you would think. I found a print shop that can do the job for about $40 for a 28.5"x25" image. I haven't seen the quality yet, but for $40 I'm certainly willing to experiment on an old backglass I have that fits perfectly. I have a...

Thanks, guys. Just to mention, the two lower links above (appreciate them, MTPPC) are images that are missing a good portion of the NGS backglass art. The right side of the image is trimmed off by quite a margin... at least an inch or more. Just saying'... ;) Thanks for the info, CFH, I've...

Hey, I've been searching for a good image for over a year... I'm sure I can wait a little longer! :) Thanks very much! I really, REALLY appreciate it! Yours, Bry

Thanks, but already tried contacting them more than twice, and have never gotten a reply. I asked about buying, or if they'd be willing to send me a photo; no responses. (And I've been very polite... so it's not like they didn't respond because of my attitude...) So, still looking.
