and i have my eye on 3 more pins that im working on getting for under 100$ each
at this rate i may have to sell off all the funiture so i have room
 
Pretty cool. What's the game on the far right?

Pins are great. I went straight to pins, I'll probably never own anything else.

its a sorcerer got it and someone had taken a blown up picture of the back glass art and printed it on 50 regualr sheets of paper it look like arse

so i designed my own back glass art and then printed it using the plotter i have at work

i need to tweak it a liittle more before its how i want it but so far its looking good
 
Good for you. Pin > Vid.

I started with one pin after three vids. Since then I haven't looked at vids much, but I am constantly looking for pins.

If I can ever get done working on the road and get home, it will be time to add another pin, or two, or...
 
Love the pins. Do yourself a favor and find the backglass for that machine. Homemade backglasses suck bad.

actually i think the one i have designed is better than the original i just need to tweak the font and font color
and position a few things diffrent (the dragons head gets cut off on the top)
once i get it perfect ill print it on some translite mat and it will look great

i used high res vector art and adobe ai so it looks as good if not better on the picture quality

the big problem is there is no repro for sorcerer and the only original i have come across the guy wanted 300$ for and the pin only lists at 800$ and i already have 400 in it

Are you on the VPforums as well and you sure you designed it? This might explain why the dragon's head is cut off and here is the original designer unless the OP is moogster66.

wow not on the vp forums but i used stock vector art to create it wich would explain why someone els has used the art

the person on vp site did not create that either
i downloaded the stock vector art from deviant art

To each thier own. I personly dislike when people retheme pinball machines or print different artwork for the backglass. If an original backglass is not readily available I guess a guy don't have much choice though. Anyway Nice pins.

Sorcerer backglass is really nice. Good luck in your search for one. BTW, my Sorcerer is four player. Never seen the two player version before. haha
Also, are those 6 digit score displays?

lol no stabdard displays

i didnt clean the glass after removing the old hacked 50 paper printout it came with and when i set my new art down to cut out for the displays the paper got stuck to the old adheasive
so i had a hell of a time cutting out the windows

as far as the 2 player i had to steal 2 displays from it to reapir someones pin and have not orderd a replacment yet
 
Welcome to the dark under belly of the arcade universe. Pins have always kept my interest far better then an arcade game. Though I love vids, the repetition gets old, and there is something to be said for a game that is completely different on ea play. Really love that!
