Can't wait to see the 1650 with the dome glass. BTW I received my ebay 1400
plastic pilaster and it is near perfect with only a couple of light
scratches but no cracks which are so common on 1400 plastic pilasters. I'm a happy
camper. A couple of people over on the Wurlitzer group have joked about not
bidding it up if they knew it was me. I'm sure they're all jealous as it doesn't
look like Ken Arnold will ever make any more and the plastic company Jimmy
Day was talking to took one look at one and didn't want to undertake such a
task. They're much more complicated to make than Seeburg C pilasters and a lot
of other pilasters as the pattern is molded in.Glass pilasters from 1600
series jukes usually only break from abuse but other factors come into play in
plastic pilasters as plastic breaks down from age and exposure to the
sun,ultraviolet light from the flourescent lights,moisture,cold etc.They've been on
backorder from Victory Glass for years now.One big factor is the low value and
collectibility of a 1400 versus the cost of the replacement pilasters which
was last priced at $400 a set so not enough of a demand.That reminds me to sign
onto ebay and give the seller the positive feedback he deserves.We need more
ebayers like these folks.

Ok, so does the purple light shine down on the redish grille? Where do you
get the colored gels? I agree, the empty pilasters are strange, they could
have done so much more there. Mel has designed a Light Stick that he has
mounted in another juke that he says looks great. There is lots of room for
animation in those pilasters, guess the 1650 was just designed to be cheaper
to buy. It's certainly not the prettiest of Jukes but it has a place in my
heart, not to mention Mel gave me a suped up Amp so the sound is terrific!
I am so hoping with the Dome on, it will have that "finished" look. I will
send pics Take care of your foot
