Joker Custom...

[robr81]

After talking to many of you who have done customs allready (devo)
i decided i was ready to take on my custom project...
i along with the help of my 2 friends (mike & toomey) have started the joker slot project. its based off of my takasago viking 7. for the past 2 months ive spend most of my free time designing in photoshop all of my images. Most of you printed and cut these images yourself... and im not that good with the scissors so i decided a different approach. I Made Images and had a company called The world's largest selection of premium light boxes and backlit signs with customizable duratrans print my images on back lit film and attach them to 1/8" lexan. (except for the reels) total job cost me about $140...but for the results i received, in my mind its worth every penny.

i still have a lot to do to this machine and i will be taking my time, but im looking for feedback and suggestions ... hope you enjoy this as much as i do.

I know that there are some Pachi purists around here and that is fine... but I just love a well-done custom. That machine looks freakin' awesome!

I've never been a fan of 'bad customs' (those were the seller just slaps a pic over a belly glass )

But I think yours looks amazing!!

It seems you are doing this project carefully and with good attention to detail

and what a great theme too, please keep us updated
