I'm converting this post into a soft interest check for reproduction PGM shells.
This sub-forum doesn't seem to get a lot of traffic, so I'm not sure if there will be any traction here, nor if anyone actually has interest in these. However, given Fluffy's work and the potential for a multi (one day), replacements for OEM shells seem like something that could be useful. Plus, I really like the idea of a special color run for the Cave games...
Regardless, my other arcade-related injection molding project was wrapped up today and there is a good chance I'll go ahead with this, anyway.
The shells would feature:
- manufactured with production injection molds
- comparable or identical material to originals
- color matched to originals, with potential for limited run colors
- potential, minor design tweaks to account for modern manufacturing sensibilities
Price would probably be $15-25/set, with quantity breaks.
Original post:
I am looking for NOS shells to model and potentially repro (injection molding). Is that a thing, anywhere? I'm interested in purchasing or borrowing. I have some well worn shells, but the less used the better.
Any help or information is appreciated
