I went down to the Post Office today to send off a Sanyo B+ adjustment tool. We have a pretty small Post Office, and they all know me and my wife.

The guy says, "Hang on a sec, I have got a big box for you."

Does the sender want his address posted for the world to see? Just sayin'...

Wrong link, Thanks for catching that. It should be fixed now.

Here is what is in the box... Keep in mind that, yes it is pinball related. I posted it here, because how many New Old Stock one's of these does a person come across?

FFS man out with the next picture already.

Sorry, was having issues with Comcast and stuck packets.:001_ssuprised:

Cool , now I can go take pictures of Dave through his bathroom window !

You would be "The Man" if you can peep into a second story bathroom window.:cool:

So, are you going to have it clear-coated prior to installation?

I am going to have it scanned first, and then it will most likely go to Bill Davis for clear coating. I think he is the guy that does all of the clear coating for CPR on their repro playfields.
 
second story bathroom window ?!! ......Damn , looks like my trip to Washington this weekend is canceled ....

Bill is "the man" for clear coating but I understand there can be a REALLY long wait to have your playfield returned. You might want to ask about this in advance.

I'm not sure who does the clear for CPR but I'm pretty sure it's not Bill. Personally I wouldn't want the really thick clear that he does on a playfield like that anyway but that's a personal preference.

Sweet playfield. You definitely don't see those every day.

I do have an unfinished bathroom on the first floor, but you will still need a ladder to be a peeping Tom. The dog may have other ideas about you peeping into the house too.;) She is weird like that. It is all good if you come in through the front door, or garage doors, but she owns everything in the back yard.:D
 
that's one nice piece of history you have there. congrats! I bet it wasn't cheap to ship, though....

Wasn't bad, $50 from Ontario Canada to Washington State.

I will have to get a hold of Bill and see what he says. I don't know of anyone else that does clear coating. There must be others that do it.
 
Nice score! I always did like the Flash Gordon in the bowling alley back in Chicago.

Are you going to rebuild it or just hang the stuff on the wall?
 
See if CPR would make a deal. Maybe, they clear it for free if you let them use it for basis to repro. I don't know.
 
Oh man - nice score - as you probably know these are very hard to come by!

Flash Gordon is my #1 pin on the wishlist and am very jealous right now!:)

Nice one Dave!

Will send you a PM about something shortly
