Custom Reel Strips / Cherry Red

[coolwavepic]

Day 1 I bought my S9E I always wanted to convert it to a Bullseye Bonus machine. I found the software but the reel strips I still can not find. So I measured other strips and did a descent job on the strips. If anyone needs help with this, let me know. I have a photoshop file and markers to help get this done. The file size is a 20x30 and can be printed at Costco for $9


It's not perfect and not mean to be perfect. I just needed this to hold me over until I can find some the real deal.

What type of paper is that printed on?

It was printed on Photp Matte at Costco. Like I said, not perfect, but ok for now.

I wonder if some folks have been able to do something like this on white mylar? Does Costco offer mylar printing along as well as on paper?

A number of guys in the pinball hobby have started printing replacement artwork for their personal machines using a high res photo of a good glass. Some of that artwork just isn't available anymore. They typically place the mylar between a sandwich of clear class or plexi. Not the same as having original artwork, but as you said it is better than nothing until a time comes when you might find it.

Nice job! I was getting started to do this on mine but I bought a piece of thicker glossy matte finish heavy construction paper. 24"x36" for a buck, got black and white, was going to use my printer and wanted to use fluorescent colors. Found the dye was outrageous, I ended up repainting mine by hand with a good brush and glow in the dark colored glues. Made it so it isn't visible without the Blacklight. Then did some fluorescent highlights then more colored glue thinned out over it. Still plan to make my own new ones on black paper but I'm going to print outlines of icons and look for stickers that will placed onto the strips using the outlined images to center them in place.
 I also did a belly glass making my own art and sandwiched it between plexi sheets. Eventually found some glass that was perfect and just cut it to fit. Can't beat that original glass look.
