I believe I would be interested, where in GA are you, I am NE of Atlanta? Also is this all full stand up cabinets or cocktails?

Again, nothing said it was a charity, nothing said people could not or should not make some scratch for doing the work. But eventually, while not a charity, its going to turn into an open source project. There are people out there who produce the artwork and release it to the public. I intend...

Those look great! I'm not a huge fan of Nintendo characters, but would love to see how the Ms/PacMan and Q*Bert ones turn out.

Well, yes and no. All of this depends a great deal on the format of your artwork and the type of artwork. I don't know what you are trying to get printed. If it your artwork consists mostly of lines and bold colors, your best bet is to vectorize it. This takes time, but most vector art...

Sigh. Wrong, wrong, wrong. I'm not saying anything you aren't saying -- you are wrapping your argument in the same stuff. Your belief is that the industry is so weak that having multiple people producing the same product will kill the people who make reproductions and thus harm the hobby...

But I have. And some of the products I've purchased Phoenix Arcade are from the original films. I've also purchased stuff from Mamemarquees and their inkjet printing. The mamemarquees are not as thick, but in terms of detail, color and crispness, its fully comparable. I've got some...

With respect to you and your pursuit, I again, don't think its a matter of being cheap. That was not my point. I'm often a bit on the radical side of the curve, I suppose. I believe the best thing for pinball is for Stern and TPF to go out of business -- and there is a strong part of me...

And this is where we fundamentally disagree. I don't think we need them to be in business for the hobby to perpetuate. The entry point to getting something printed in a professional or semi-professional level has dropped significantly and -- barring large scale disasters to society as a whole...

Beautiful!!!! Thanks! My poor wallet...

I love tangents, and have to disagree. The more people who are capable of producing the product the better. Given that most of these businesses are run as hobbies, and are likely to cease at any given time, its nice that other are around to keep a void from forming. The only thing I do...

I have to concur. I have an ICB and it is one of the simplest of devices to fix. Something about the obscurity of the machine coupled with a small but dedicated following seems to make the prices schizophrenic. I got mine for around $150. Broken, but easily repaired. One of the questions...

Nope. I've primarily relied on the things they already have available. However, I am vectorizing a few reproductions (Crystal Castles cocktail underlay and CPOs, Dig Dug cocktail CPO), and will post the results in the distant future. I hope to one day build a mame machine and put out some...

Phoenixarcade is superb, often relying on the original films to create their reproductions. However, there is no reason to disparage mamemarquees in the process. Simply put, mamemarquees pumps out a very high quality product and has the versatility to print _anything_. Phoenixarcade simply...
