Would prefer to buy the plastic set, but I am up for making a set from
scans. If you don't want to take your game apart, I would be grateful
for straight on, close up pictures. The pictures on IPDB are not that
great.

Shay doesn't have them (but they do have the backglass)

PBR does not have them listed.

Any other leads would be appreciated as well.

Thank you.

Todd,

I think your best best, assuming no one comes up with a set for you,
is to contact Pinball Rescue.

Good Luck.

HI Chris;
Thanks for the lead. I never even knew those guys existed.
Unfortunately, they do not have this set. I requested it, but I'm not
holding my breath. But if they had it, I would be all over it.

So.........Still looking. Plastics, scans or pictures.

Thanks.

Todd - From what I have seen Lee and Gordon are a bit more responsive
than Shay and better at communication. So you may actually be able
to hold your breath... ;o)

Concur.
I never thought I'd snag a set of plastics for my Flipper Clown, but
they are on their way to me right now!

Well, actually both Shay and Pinrescue were nice enough to write
back. But the bad news is that neither one has the part. Shay has no
plans to make it and Pinresue added it to the list of requests. Lee
at Pinrescue even looked in the warehouse for a machine to run scans
from, but no luck there yet either.

So, yep, still looking: Parts, Scans or Pictures - Please help bring
an old woodrail back to life.

Thanks.

Pictures of the game in it's "as found" state are attached. I am
doing this to:
1. Shamelessly draw attention to this request for help
2. Show how nice the game really is - it would be a "light project"
were it not for the missing parts

Also - Huge shout out to Lee from Pinrescue for looking for this for
me. Lee went and dug through the warehouse until he found the game.
The bad news is that the game was missing it's PF parts, including the
plastic. He sent the picture of the game over and it is included in
the album. I'm sure it was a lot of work to dig the game out and I
really appreciate the effort. Lee has a ton of stuff at his site,
including apron decals and many many old plastic sets. Have a look:

So. still looking: Plastics, scans or pictures. Thanks in advance.

Wow. That is nice. Kewpie Doll is a much better game than you might
think at first glance. I knew a guy who had one at one time.
