Hey Guys;
We are getting ready to launch our new PF project - Black Knight!
However, there is some thing we need some your input on. We have the
artwork and its super, we have the wood, we have the inks...... he's
the catch. We cannot get the original style inserts.
Pilgrim Plastics was contracted in the 80s to design an insert that
would diffuse the filament so it could not been seen directly through
the insert. The faceted design they produced for BK was a failure and
it just did not work as they thought it would. The pinball companies a
short while later had a new design made, one we are all familiar with,
the starburst design that is basically still used today. So there is
the rub. We can get and use the newer starburst designs but there is
no way the originals can be had at any cost.
So would you guys prefer we make the PFs be made with modern inserts
or not at all. We need about 50 guys to buy these before we can break
even so We need to get a feel for how many guys would take these with
the modern inserts...
Now is the time for your input.
Thanks
