LAST CHANCE... Preorder ENDS TONIGHT!!!
Preorders End tonight... After tonight the price goes up.
This is the last time I will post for preorders. After tonight the price will go up..
GET YOUR ORDERS IN TODAY...
if my numbers are correct and payments are in we may have it. It won't be official till Darin gets back and looks at the orders.
Darin has to make this final.
I have updated the totals below, with pending payments.
Here is a great offer from Chris (SideTrackTap).. He'll save you at least $40 in the shipping fee if you are in his area.

no problem, Hope the numbers are there. a few said they would send payments that's why the is a question mark with payments pending. We will see once Darin returns if those numbers are good. Fingers crossed. if anyone has an extra monitor bezel please let me know...

Thanks everyone, we made it!
A few things. No more preorders because the price just went up quite a bit. Everyone who preordered is locked in. My glass supplier who I worked hard to get better pricing closed its doors during this preorder. I only found out today when I called to place the order. So now my glass cost just went up.
Im also waiting on a Galaga glass someone promised to ship me. Then I can order ink samples to color match. I am supposed to get it this week sometime. I have everything else I need.
Updates will be posted via email to those that preordered. I will not answer questions in this thread since I dont read the forums much. Please email me direct with questions.
Im so glad we got this done because I wasnt gonna come back to it again. btw, Ive heard a few people rip me behind the scenes saying I made a profit on this already. Hardly. I only asked for 5 preorders on a glass order of 100. If they think I profited already with those numbers they should get in the repro biz and retire early.
Cheers!

Thanks to Darin...
I just wanted to thank Darin for doing this, and to all that stepped up for the preorder.
But I'm a little upset at the few people that think Darin made a profit from this right off the bat. And so what if he is. He needs to make something for taking time out of his busy day to do this for us. He can't do this cheap and stay in business. I was looking around and found that Darins price is the best. It's not cheap to do this on your own. $75-80 for glass plus screening and I would think at least $100 if not more for someone to make the screens then to color match, prep the glass and do the screening, and any setup charges there might be. And do to the nature of the artwork a shop may not want to do it. So that said, the few people that had problems with this will miss out or pay more for this. There was someone here on the forums that had this done(a lot of favors) he told me $75 for the glass and around $300 for a few pieces to be done.
Again Thanks To Darin for stepping up to do this.

Update
UPDATE
I PM'd a fellow KLOV'r that had his glass done for his Pac-Man cocktail. He told me that Darin's price was the best you can get. He shopped around at different printing shops, and told me that these shops quoted him a cost of a $1000 to do 1 table glass. So I'm very happy that this did go through...

Don't forget the art recreation fees (if they are not redrawn & vectored already). That can be $800 alone, plus set up fees 2-$300 for each game title. I'm surprised the Pre order is only 5. This is not some huge money maker.

Guys I need a Pacman glass, even if its faded and cracked. Its for the black ink line (which is different than a MsPac). Want to be 100% sure on this.
The person who said they were sending me one never did and its holding the project up.
Please email me directly if you can ship one reasonably soon (I'll reimburse all costs).

Just a quick update.
We had a slight delay in getting a Pacman glass to color match.
Glass arrives tomorrow. Film was output and screens get burned next week. Still ink testing though. Once thats done we will start printing. Im targeting end of September to have all these shipped out. Maybe sooner.

If these are still available i'm interested.
I'll be picking up a ms pacman table on saturday if things go as planned.
I'm not all that knowledgeable on tables, so i'd rather have the table home before i shell out more cash.
But if it's right for the glass, i will definitely be ordering.
As i look at pics of the setup i'll be buying, the glass appears to be Pacman, but the screen has a ms pacman on it, guess i'll have to sort it out when i get it home.
thanks,
Joe

You will need to contact Darin. [email protected]
it may be closed. the price at the start of this thread was a pre-order price.

Based on this, I'm sure it is closed, but it doesn't mean Darin doesn't have an extra to sell, but I'm sure it will be a higher price if he does.

Just to let everyone know things are still going well on this project. No delays have been encountered yet. I'll be recovering from spinal fusion surgery (closed from Sept 15-25) and when these arrive I will be a little slow packing and shipping them. First piece expected to ship first week of October if the freight truck doesnt have any delays, which is common for them.

We are encountering some really slow cure times on the inks for glass. Last thing I want is runny inks on glass just to speed things up. Squirt a few drops of food coloring on a piece of glass at home and hold it upright and watch it run. Thats whats happening if we dont let it cure properly.
So we moved these into the "clean room" with ultra-low humidity. Expensive to get time inside one of these because they're costly to operate. It's working but we are slowed down by it. Laying one color on glass every other day.
This will push things back to end of October Im afraid.
