Uh yeah.. Williams threw tons away. They had a requirement that disposed of stuff that wasn't sold to local operators was "crushed" in the crusher. They did major cleaning and tons of stuff was thrown away. Unfortunatly most people were more concerned about their job (or lack of one) and didn't care too much about preserving history. Kurt
Serious?! A red Inferno would be quite a sight ...
Where is all the Wms paperwork/files/etc.? Isn't there anyone that did some dumpster diving in Chicago? We need a Scott Thomas for Williams insider info...

I've seen pictures of the black Blaster one
I sold Jeff a blue one (and the CP art) and he restored it to Bubbles
When I worked at williams (89/90) I saw a picture of a red one -- I'm pretty sure it had inferno in it.. Not sure if it was just a proto or if they ran a run of 'em.
Realistically speaking of the red Duramold --- anyone know anything about the fabled red Sinistar Duramold? I've seen pictures, but from what I understand, they are uncorroborated.
All I've seen are pictures of the black one:

There was also some talk about a Duramold Sinistar on ebay in 1999, but it also looks like the buyer shilled it into the never-purchase range.
Do you have a URL for the pictures of the red?
