Its an great game, lots of drop targets and plays pretty fast for an older game. I will not be selling mine as its one of the best classic Sterns.

Great game. Simple, no multiball, but pure fun! Love sweeping drop targets, and building the spinner value, and the different sounds it makes. Mine is working, but could use some love cosmetically. Hope they make a repro playfield.
I love that game. Great artwork, great theme. I would pick one up for the right price if one came up.
Quoted from gabegabegabe:Hope they make a repro playfield.
John is, as well as a Star Gazer, though the cutoff date for preorders is August 31st, so contact him asap if you want one. I really like the Seawitch and all my classic Sterns, but still a gaping hole in my collection is Star Gazer, but ordering the playfield and backglass so I'll have on hand when I finally find one.

I have one of his Nine Ball backglasses. It looks nice, but the colors are not near as rich as my original. I was hoping CPR would do one, but if John is doing it, I'm guessing they probably won't. Is he only making a small run? Or will they be available going forward?

From what he told me the cutoff date to order is September 1st, so he's probably only making the amount he has backorders for plus a few extra I would presume. I'll have to do a close comparison of his nine ball backglass and my original to see if I see what you do.
Speaking of which, to Dirty South, if you like this game you should really like other Sterns and Nine Ball is a great one to look out for, of all the classic Sterns I put more games on this than any other, Meteor probably second and Quicksilver third then Seawitch, then Catacomb and I can't put the rest in order but like them all, but really need the Star Gazer.
I enjoy Seawitch so much I overpaid ($200 game+$400 shipping) to get one and have no regrets. It and Stargazer are my two favorite early Sterns although I am quite fond of several others. I spent my play money on a new Taxi playfield so I probably won't be able to get in on John's PFs before the promo price period ends. Oh well... Great back glass and art and sounds.

Here is a few pictures of mine after the installation of an original NOS playfield.
Yeah great game for sure. Love the 4 flipper frenzy and the wave crashing background sound. Although, when you wind it up you don't hear the background sound with all the point scoring going on. Then you are treated to the smooth escalating bonus count down at the end of the ball that lets everyone know you kicked some ass!
I do have a beautiful Galaxy. I love the game....We did have fun one day in the pool with some parts games.
Well there are some great photo's of the classic stern Journey....Don't have pics of everything but sure fun fixin' these up. Fixed up probably 75 to 100 of them. Kept around 20.

I really like the looks of the white pop bumper skirts installed on your Seawitch.
