70s Gottlieb Inserts Needed

[Don O Team EM!]

Hey guys, I've got a client's GTB Fast Draw that for some reason, has cracked inserts everywhere... I've got a few replacements I've been able to scrounge and a few from a super pinsider, but still need the following (all 1 inch):

One of each: A, B, C letter insert on white background

6 "When Lit" insert on yellow background; if I can't get 6 yellow I'll certainly take less than that... I can configure something with the white ones I have a ton of. Client is ok with doing that if I can't come up with enough yellow ones.

Already checked through Pinside and Mr. Pinball. Thought I'd check everywhere before going the decal route.

Appreciate it.

if you've got any of these pop me a note at dowenp at aol dot com.

The inserts were clear or translucent (coloured or clear) and the art
added during the playfield silk-screening. So there are no inserts with
the letters/numbers on them as far as I know. Nothing in the parts books
suggests it either.

Of course Steve Young would know for sure, but I suspect you have to go
the decal route. Just try to use a process where the artwork is printed
on the underside of the Mylar, and then the stickum is added - to ensure
long artwork life.

Thanks John, I'm aware of the art being screened... Thought there might be folks out there with junk playfields with these inserts, especially the yellow WHEN LIT inserts... those adorn a LOT of playfields.

You need to match the font used I imagine. I'm thinking that Gottlieb
changed the font to match the game...so you are looking for a junk Fast
Draw playfield you could grab the inserts from as a first choice.

I don't have that one in my small collection though. Sorry!

Yes, that's exactly right... they did change the font somewhat, although there are a bunch of games with similar font that could work... beggars can't be choosers!

I have a line on the "WHEN LIT" inserts; still looking for the following 1" inserts on white background:

One "A"
Two "B"
One "C"

Have you checked with The Church Of The Silver Ball near Toronto? Mike
Hanley had a pile of playfields the last time I was there (five or six
years ago)...

A kind gentleman sent me a bunch that now adorn Fast Draw! Thanks so much for making this happen.... there are still so many great folks in this hobby.
