I didn't say people weren't prepared to pay, I just never charged that much and it was never about the money

Artwork sent again to this company asking to be printed on Duratrans..... Lets see what comes. £6 a band!! https://www.colourgraphics.com/backlit-poster-duratrans-printing/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMItsCixuTe4wIVy7TtCh3rsANWEAAYASAAEgJL6vD_BwE

After a very long 5th day, I have finally finished the graphics:) On schedule for a weekend release!

I second that🤗❤

Love it!

Agreed. Probably had reel strips stuck to the rims to make them bigger. Liked this game, but not a touch on Fruit Cracker

No idea, and can't remember - 6 years or so maybe?

Would have been a big shot

that looks bloody awesome....

\cant believe I only just discovered these ROMS! Stunning"

Feelin' the love

have you checked the tracks that run under the battery area for volume up, down, OVL and most importantly SPC0/1? theres a chip select line to tell the sound circuit to use the sound ROMs high address lines and if it gets cut your samples all play in the wrong places! Watch my doctor who repair video ,shows you how to find and fix.

Here here !! I know I've given.you a few grey hairs over the years john trying to get colours as good to match the originals on bands but your work on labels and bands has been absolutely superb. Cant thank you enough .

The bands are not cost-effective regardless of who does them, this is one of the reasons why I stopped, and backlit were 'perfected' years ago. The last problem to be resolved was the thickness of the back-mask substrate kinking due to the circumference on the band being smaller when in situ on the reel drum, and finding the right substrate to allow light through but be inkjet printable. It costs a LOT of money to buy the materials to make them yourself, easily in the region of over £800 in total for the necessary equipment to begin. It took me about 5 years to get photoshop to do what I wanted and learn how to use the programs needed, and to research the correct hardware necessary to print the lengths needed for bands, multiple types of paper for different types of bands, laminate sublimation roll, glues, adhesive removal, cleaning fluids etc. Then you need the correct colour profile on all hardware or the printout won't match the input artwork, each media has different print properties and colour differences are always evident (further £180 for a datacolor spyder). In man-hours it takes about a week in total from the first scan to printout (some waiting for inks to cure and gas out was involved) and it really has to be a labour of love or you'd tear your hair out and there's no way you can recoup the costs in charges on an hourly rate if you sell them. If I thought I could have chared £100 a standard set I'd be sunning myself in Miami. We live and learn. 😂

Thanks for the suggestion. I had already tried that site whilst looking for some of the other fonts I used. It is good for naming the font, then all you have to do is pop over to fontsgeek - pop the name in to the search, and download the font for free. Problem solved now. It took over 4 hours, but I managed to remake the logo out of one of the pics Pete W sent me.

Hey, yep all sorted thanks to MattyL... legend. And here it is up and running! A868532F-33F5-4058-8C86-04694BC77AD0.MOV

This is what you need to do it fix it, don't waste your time with different ROMs Paul

Sounds like a broken track had same problem on my match of the day could only read high side of the chip, have a look at magik video on YouTube I fix mine in about 20 mins after watching it

Being as though at work this is a really quick shot of the reels. Look good, now for backlighting

Its here 😁🥴

Stencils for next time....

Aye, 10 minutes is usually enough

This really is quite incredible, an M1 machine left for 10 years, and still working.... Words fail me.
