Title: Just a bit overboard...
Post by: BrianS on September 12, 2015, 08:04:26 pm
I don't mind a decal or two on a machine, but this may be a new record.  I guess everyone is entitled to their personal preference, but I think all the clutter detracts for the appearance of the machine.  Bet there is a Spriteboy or two on the side.

It's a little much. Must be a Carl machine with the aftermarket appearance Tijuana package.

This one seems to be missing the "model" with the Tijuana enhancement but bet source is the same.

Don't get the Tijuana thing.   Is that an inside joke?

I agree.  I prefer machines that are restored with a "less is more" approach, with more of an original look.  Not knocking the over-the-top restoration, just not for me.   :glare:

It needs more cowbell.... no , I meant pin stripe.  When you have too much of a bad thing, adding a little more makes it better.

One sprite boy is bad enough, several on the same machine is the beginning of a low budget horror movie.
