SOLD Cabinet STickers / Backbox, playfield (Not for sale)

[flashinstinct]

I'm in the process of completely restoring my NGG (http://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/ ... ending-one) and I'm at the point of getting a set of stickers to get done. After the NGG is done I will be proceeding with WCS and FT. I was wondering if anyone is interested in doing a buy in with me for some sets. Price will be set on amount of participation.

These stickers were recreated in vector format. In order words they will be ultra crisp!

Am I missing anything? The red box shows empty space anyone know of other fuse stickers that would fit in there that would be handy.

**mod edit-- no longer for sale at the request of the license holder**

These are always handy to have when doing restorations. I've still got a bunch that I got from TC years ago. Not sure you'd want the export versions of the stickers though? Unless you restore the game to it's original shipping configuration and the game is a re-import?

I got a reimported machine and would like to keep it's integrity. That is why my stickers have a mixture of both. Only 4 of the stickers are for imports/ exports the rest are all common.

Apparently rick from PPS owns the rights to these so not for sale anymore.

I noticed something very interesting over at HEP. He overhauled an Addams Family that had an "I" in its original serial number, meaning that it was an export game at one point and had been re-imported. The after pictures had all indications of export game erased...and when HEP repritned all the serial stickers, he did so with the "I" removed from the number! Dirty pool! I guess there is a real stigma about owning a re-import in the community, even if it is overhauled by the best restorer in America. I'm proud of having the "I" on my game and the 220V stickers...its like I'm an adoptive father.

Too bad about copyright issues there, Flash. Guess you'll just have to make them for your own personal use but it will be worth it having your game looking factory fresh.

Too bad you can't sell them, I would have been in for a couple of sets at least.

I've always found this funny. It's like games that are routed and hacked overseas are somehow worse than games that are routed and hacked right in the good ol' U.S. of A. :FP:

If I have a reimport and I restore it (converting it back to N.American spec) I am certainly going to be putting the appropriate stickers on it... especially those that pertain to voltages and fuse values. I can understand leaving the serial number sticker as-is... but I don't think it should matter once a game has been converted and definielty not if it's been painstakingly restored.

you can blame the "Gaucho" fiasco for the whole stigma behind re-imports.

+1. If you're restoring a game to N/A spec's it should have all of the pertinent stickers / ratings installed vs. what was originally in the game.

These were all manufactured on this continent.
Re-import or not, they were all made here.
A good restore is a good restore. Period.
That is all.

I have 3 reimports in my collection, they aren't any different than the originally domestic games that I've owned. It has more to do with doing your due diligence getting a machine from such a long distance away than anything to do with the quality of the machine at all. You can get just as screwed buying a machine a machine from Quebec or Alberta as you would getting one from Italy or Great Britain.

Just my two cents worth.
