    Default Arepachi faceplate

    After I bought my first arepachi I noticed that their was a piece missing from the front. If you watch all of the videos from Japan about half the machines have a (what I call a Faceplate) and the other half have nothing.
    After I bought the arepachi from Bigbear Steve I contacted Slotshappy and we corresponded back and forth and after alot of corresponding this is the result. Let me say Thank You To SLOTHAPPY144 I am pleased with the end result. Now to fix my Jan ball. Going to do it alittle different.


    The first picture is the before the second is the after and the last is a close up.

    It is nice to have a professional like Mike do the work. It comes out so nice.

    Very impressive results. Now that
    I have found a pic of the faceplate for the "arepachi project" machine and the Taiyo Mars, I'll be able to outfit them with replicas of the originals.

    Lteddy was great to work with on the whole project. He was very patient as I worked on his project between other projects with more demanding local woodshop clients.

    Don, that looks like the #12 background, or is is the #8? if it is #8 then we need to dial down the white on that. It look too new! I need to age it another 40 years.

    I can make full color photo quality prints* on 24" wide x 90" long media. I stock adhesive vinyl, UV resistant poly, heavy weight glossy photo paper and shine -thru media (very cool for back light art),
    I can also print on canvas, poster board, all up to 24" wide but it would be special orderd.

    *all media cannot handle a full 'photo quality' amount of ink. My printer can output @ 2880 dpi.but adhesive vinyl only accepts 720 dpi well.
