    I would like to say I was lucky enough to get 2 counter cases from Wayne, and I must say they are phenomenal to say the least! I love how easy everything is to install and the ease of changing artwork out of the case. Again thank you Wayne for making such a nice home for my gaku counters I purchased from Musky.

    I have been an avid pinball collector for many years but I must say that the pachinko hobby and group of people in it are stellar!!! I have never met a more helpful group of people anywhere. Kudos to all you guys out there! And thanks again Wayne for your awesome craftsmanship!

    I just got some Gaku Counter kits from Musky and I'll be making cases for them using some of the ideas I've gotten here on the forum.
    I'm wondering what kind of computer program you guys use to make the art work for the front of your cases.
    Thanks

    I use photoshop just because I have it. But you could use paint.net or gimp. They are free and just as nice.

    100 machines and counting...

    Hi Everyone,
    I finished my first Gaku counter case so I thought I'd show it to you.
    I built the box using some ideas I got from others here on the forum

    mxfaiman, I downloaded Paint.net and Gimp... then spent way too many hours learning how to make them do what I wanted to do. But I finally came up with an altered photograph of the belly glass of the machine I was putting the counter on... "Babel".
    The belly glass has labels in the corners that partially cover the graphics I wanted to use... so I had to make the labels "disappear". It took me awhile but I finally got it done.

    I'm pretty pleased with the way the whole thing turned out. Now that it's done I see a couple of things I would like to do differently... but I spent way too much time on it as it is... so I'm not going to redo it right now... I've got other machines that need counters

    One of the next machines to get a counter

    Thanks for looking... and thanks for the help.
