I keep wondering why this is seen as such a challenge. Is it that hard to fabricate one out of 1/4" plywood or are most pin collectors really that bad at designing anything themselves?

They want someone to design it for them and mark it up 500%. I love the pinball hobby, but I'm continually amazed at how expensive accessories, mods, and fixes are for these machines. I get that the buying audience is small, but a set of target decals for a single game is easily going to surpass $20. Some toy mods are well over $100 for what amounts to $2 worth of materials and maybe $10 worth of time.

Beware that Revenge from Mars is a piss easy game that gets old quick. I enjoy it the every three years or so I play it and that's often enough.

I have to agree with you there. Star Wars Eps. 1 is even worse. Personally, I want to own a P2K machine specifically for novelty. Other than that I have no other interest in it. This whole LCD thing kind of sounds expensive. I'd prefer to put that money into doing a complete restore of several of my pins.
ChadTower:
You can do a complete restore on several pins for $360?
Pinball Wizard:
Well depends on the shape. Most pins I have (still have yet to restore any but am about to get in over my head in one) need a strip, use some Novus, and put back together with a new rubber set and flipper rebuild kit sometimes, and they are good to go. It's only a prediction but most of my pins aren't beaten to death to really need that much money put into them.
ChadTower:
That's just a shop job. A restoration is an entirely different matter.
