Hi people! Merry Christmas to ya all!

Please look at the photo's, I have had one of these before. Notice the decal above the reels? This is the topic.
Do you know anything about this?
Any idea where to get a replacement decal?
What's the reel scoop on this modification?

I think the decal above the reels reads something like " 3 Bars in A roll over or under pays 18" or maybe " 3 Bars in a line Over or Under pay-line pays 18?. If you have one, what does it say? Where, or how can I get a replacement decal, or have one made? The reel disks look original mills stamped disks, so was this factory? or later modification? This machine came from the Everett Washington Yaut club, it also had a fish decal over one of the cherrys which gave a 2 coin payout. Maybe the fish cherry gave a drink also, who knows. See photo.
Thank You

i doubt anyone has made this, but, if you have a Staples office supply near, or, probably any typesetting or good printing place, you can get one made, or, at least a template.
i have had very good luck at staples getting them to re-do some award cards that were destroyed, or a poorly made copy.
they have a a place... special art dept? ... or something like that... talk to the manager of the copy and print center... not an after school flunky. the manager will know what you are talking about.
they won't be able to a decal, but, they WILL be able to make you something to use as a template, and you will then have a couple alternatives:
1) they do printing on photo stock, and can make your item to exact size you need, and it will glue on. (get a few copies made in case you goof one up, you don't have to go through the process again).
2) there are companies that make water slide decal paper that is compatible with home ink jet & laser printers.
i have not used this, or seen anything done on it, b it it bears worth looking into.
3) there are companies that make water slide decals...but i am sure they minimums, and... how many of these do you think you would ever sell?
here is a list of water slide decal sources:

4) another alternative, is go to a trophy shop and have a brass plaque made. that would match the reward card and the page boy sign.
hopefully one of these ideas will work for you.
good luck.

You can use a water decal paper ... spray the print with a clear acrylic type spray ... and then your ready to go. Be sure it drys well before you put it in water. I have done this and it works well.
