Maiden is worth £6k all day.
A £8600 pro or soon to be 9k pro won’t drop to 3k , you probably won’t see another deadpool pin , Jurassic park pin or stranger things pin so if you want one of them wonderful playing games you’ll still need to pay a fair chunk to get one …. Sterns nib prices only going one way and will drag up used nice huo prices along with it … maiden has been on site coupled with it being a marmite theme and one of the worst time of years to do a eBay auction that’s why it only achieve short of 5k !Be interesting to see where we are in 12months. NIB games aren't dropping in price. But will buyers start hanging onto their cash if their £8600 Stern pro drops £2-3k in the first couple of years?

Apparently this can happen, there was a Metallica pin for sale recently that had the same problem.The art on the side of the backbox looks odd, like a peeling decal? Was this era decalled?
Looking at the window reflection it's possibly a tattoo parlour ?dont think it is huo
It was an issue around that time, Kiss, Metallica and a couple of other titles suffered from peeling decals.Apparently this can happen, there was a Metallica pin for sale recently that had the same problem.
Ah ok, also around flipper buttons etc I have seen it.It was an issue around that time, Kiss, Metallica and a couple of other titles suffered from peeling decals.
It may have been before or after the wrinkled/bubbled decal issue they had, when they changed to decals they had all sorts of issues for a few releases.
I get that most machine from the early days were like Stencils and/or Silk screened onto the wood. However what did they do after that? Was there something else before Vinyl Decals?It was an issue around that time, Kiss, Metallica and a couple of other titles suffered from peeling decals.

Thought the same...I thought steel stencils, then screen printing then Vinyl. Some of the screen printed are is awesome. Data East Star Wars is partially good (in my opinion)I get that most machine from the early days were like Stencils and/or Silk screened onto the wood. However what did they do after that?

Genuine question btw not trying to be sarcastic!
Haha nothing wrong with a little sarcasm mate so no worries at all. Stern used to silk screen print directly onto the cabinets, I think Transformers was the first game to release with decals.I get that most machine from the early days were like Stencils and/or Silk screened onto the wood.

Nice one thanks, so Bally/Williams never used vinyl decals then?Haha nothing wrong with a little sarcasm mate so no worries at all. Stern used to silk screen print directly onto the cabinets, I think Transformers was the first game to release with decals.
They were a cost cutting measure and a way to save money and time on cabinets. If a game sold like **** with the silk printing they had to sand them back down to repurpose them. With decals they ended up just keeping a large quantity of black painted cabinets and applied decals when games went on the line.
Obviously when they first came out everyone was up in arms about decals, even though the print quality of the print was 100% better.
What didn’t help was when Stern changed to decals they obviously hadn’t given the staff any training as a lot of games suffered with peeling backbox decals out of the box, due to little and sometimes no adhesive in areas. Not to mention some of them looked like they had been applied by Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder!
From memory the original decals were like wallpaper where you had to apply adhesive, Chris B likely knows for sure as he’s probably restored a few in his time. When Jody did the FB factory tours back then, they often looked to be brushing adhesive onto cabinets, compared to now, they are just using big stickers.
And that’s all I remember about the great decal disaster of 2012-2013
Not sure about other titles but my STTNG has a screen printed cabinet and decals on the back box.Nice one thanks, so Bally/Williams never used vinyl decals then?
Yeah my creech had a silk screened backbox, but decals on the cab. Just wondered if they were a restore at one point. I was wondering why older games for instance didn't wrinkle on the leg area.Not sure about other titles but my STTNG has a screen printed cabinet and decals on the back box.
Pretty sure Bally and Williams, date east and SEGA silk screened their cabinets. Again Chris B can probably tell you for certain but I’m pretty of it.Yeah my creech had a silk screened backbox, but decals on the cab. Just wondered if they were a restore at one point.

Looks ace...good luck lifting itAn arcade cab not pinball, but thought I’d share as I’ve just inadvertently won it
