    Default Aloha, from Pachinko Island!!!

    Ok guys, well, I am still awaiting my side pockets to arrive from EBay, but my 1971 Front Overflow Restoration is complete with the exception of the side pockets. I'll post pics when those are installed.

    However, until then you'll have to be satisfied with the following:

    My gratitude to Mxfaiman for an absolutely wonderful background.

    Before:

    After:
    IMAG0248.jpgIMAG0249.jpgIMAG0250.jpgIMAG0251.jpg

    Once the side pockets are mounted, I'll post the additional pics. I'll install my Gaku Counter this weekend while waiting for the pockets to arrive.

    FINALLY!!! After weeks of waiting for the post office, my replacement pockets came. However, good things come to those that wait and every cloud has a silver lining. Mine was platinum. It seems during my long wait for USPS to strap my package to the back of a tortoise, one of our members here had some beautiful green pockets that fit even better with the color scheme than the original red ones. I received both packages but went with green.

    Why you say???PINEAPPLES!!!

    I am currently the proud owner of the only (that I know of) Hawaiian Island, Pineapple Pocketed Pachinko Machine. If mxfaiman likes the results, maybe he'll theme one of his machines similarly (I can't wait, max does such beautiful work). But, until then, I'm happy to be alone on Pachinko island.

    Thanks to mxfaiman for sending me the .gif's of his pineapples from this amazing background. Thanks to Cardwwi for his amazingly green pockets.

    Aloha all.

    Now to build some Gaku Counter cases...

    Looks great.

    I love how you can never everything out correctly when designing things. Looking at those new pics you posted both the Tiki mugs are getting their eyes stabbed out. At least their heads aren't chopped off... wait they are only heads.

    I will eventually come up with a good use for this background. But you sir are the first to use it... so congrats .

    I noticed that as well as I was pounding the nails into the playfield.. The tiki on the left, I couldn't have planned the nail placement better, it looks as if that tiki has glowing eyes. And on the right, it looks like the tiki is crying with the nails acting as "tears".

    I'm really happy how it turned out. Had to use laminating plastic for the pineapples as the ones on the plexi faded due to the glue. Looks better than I expected. Used two sided tape on the pineapples, so if I need to remove them, no permanent damage to the pocket.
