The coin op bottom plates are done. They have been ground and fitted to a pair of bases I have in the shop. This doesn't mean they will fit yours w/o additional grinding and fitting, but if so, it should be minimal.They are drilled and tapped with set screw and bolt included. Most were presold, but I have a few extras. They are $60 ea. w/shipping included.

dang Kim, if I had a coin op I would buy a spare base just to get the promotional give away. You sir are a top notch marketing guru!  
Hell I may buy one anyway just for the give away :hammer::hammer::hammer:

Just for you Steve, no need to order a plate. I'll send you the free gift anyway.....FWI, they are called a Golden Silk Spider....not overly dangerous, just impressive in size, plus their webs are gold in color. The one pictured lives in the boat shed....I call her Mabel. She has a ton of sisters out in the woods...

Spider fight!
I'll put this guy up against your guy.



 He's only about 2 inches across, but he's as fast as lightning. You cannot outrun one of these things! And I have arachnophobia!Locals say they don't bite, but all spiders have fangs, so......?
It's called a cane spider. They live in the cane fields but every once in a while one will get in your house. It causes a big ruckus!

Cheers,Bill

PS your spider is definitely uglier than mine....

Just for those people who think I might be pulling there leg here is there habitat from the web. Cane spiders are found in Hawaii, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, California, Southeast Asia, Australia and the Caribbean.

Also there size. Cane spiders are large, flat-bodied arachnids with two rows of eyes and long, hairy legs. Their bodies are about an inch long, with a leg span that reaches up to 5 inches wide.

And I am not lying about seeing them in the rang of 5" here. I used to live in a wooded 5 acre area in New Port Richey FL and it was full of them.

We have spiders soo big in Indiana that a few years back my brother and I was talking on the porch and this big ol spider crawled out from a crack on my porch. I grabbed a broom and whacked it a good one. Well I just pissed it off and the spider wrestled the broom out of my hands and beat me and my brother up with my own broom!Brrrrrr! I am glad spiders don't have wings!!!

Kim,

I used to live in a little spot of a town that was right next to Tarpon Springs FL growing up. I used to run through the woods often with other kids playing a variety of games. Those spiders would create huge webs between trees and dear gawd nothing was more terrifying than running through those webs and fearing the spider was on you!!! Brings back memories...oh wait not memories.... FEAR.

Jim,
That poor girl... I hope you are taking her to the vet to get her missing leg taken care of.  She is probably just waiting patiently for you to take her and get her some pain meds and prosthetic leg to tide her over until she molts again.
