This page will show the process I'm using to make reproduction plastics for pinball machines.  In slang terms, this is referred to as "making repros" and I become the "Repro-Man"

There were 2 influential web-sites that helped to get me going with the process of making repros. They are:

To see a pictures and description of the products and tools I use go to my Tools / Products page.

Here are some of the tools I'm using:

This is the Scroll Saw I use to cut the Lexan to the size of the plastic being reproduced.

This is the Belt/Disc Sander I use to sand the Lexan to final shape of the plastic being reproduced.

Here are the 10 Easy Steps I take to create reproduction plastics:

1. Obtain the graphic of plastic to be reproed.  This is done by scanning it myself or from another pin-head emailing the scanned graphic to me.
2. Touchup the scanned image.
3. Print out the touched-up scanned image
4. Cut out the printed image
5. Cut out a rough repro shape from the Lexan
6. Cut out the exact repro shape from the Lexan
7. Sand down the edges of the Repro
8. Paint the underside of the Repro white
9. Drill mounting holes into the Repro
10. Attach Repro to the Playfield
