Taylor, did you replace the drop target with a translucent target and an added light from underneath?

#3 10 years ago

yes. I'm testing it for durability.

Well it sure shows up a lot better!

#5 10 years ago

Looks great in person. I just used my extra decal and it looks factory.

#6 10 years ago

looks awesome!

#7 10 years ago

Great idea, that freaking Winkie is always hiding!

#8 10 years ago

That looks awesome....would love to ad that to my WOZ....once I get the machine.

It also looks great in the picture!

That turned out great.

Nobody who opened this thread on Pinside was expecting ANY of these Winkies

Quote from the movie "Arthur"- "Would you like me to wash your winkie?"

#14 10 years ago

I see a mod for shadow also....

Hard to tell in pic if light saturates or that is just the picture.

Great idea this should help the target really pop.

Another variation. I tried about six different colors. The green here perfectly matches the green on the Wizard Head...uh, toy thingy. It also matches the green sweeps the lights make during bonus rewards.

A wider angle...

Got my winkie right here

#18 10 years ago

this is a good mod...winkie target is hard to see during the game. Are you making these Taylorva of leaving it to tmezel or someone else?

This is what I'd like to know. Very cool mod and I'd like to make a kit available at shows.

Not mine. I'm just doing some play testing for someone. I'll let them own up to the mod when they are ready. I jumped the gun a little by posting the pic but couldn't help myself.

Okay it's me.

Well, I hope when you're ready to sell them, you consider giving me a decent price on one to thank me for that signed book I sent you. You know I'm a big fan of your work!

Sure, I also heard about the nice write up you did on 'The City'.

Wrote great stuff about the light-up tornado too, which I still think is the best mod in my WOZ. Anyone who doesn't get one is missing out. And please tell Mrs. Mezelmod that I still owe her a guest blog and will do that at her request...if she'd like me to blog about your products, I can. Just let me know what she'd like me to blab about and I'll get it done. Not ignoring her - just busy with three jobs!

Aw, crap...I just hijacked this thread. Sorry!

Been playing a good bit and it seems to be holding up well.

#27 10 years ago
Quoted from Tmezel:

I am in on this mod, very tastefully done!

We probably have more margin too, it's not even the beefed up version. Keep on bashing.

#29 10 years ago

To quote Goldmember "My winkie was a key!"....

#31 10 years ago

When will this mod be available?

#32 10 years ago

I will start an official thread when it's ready, otherwise I will lose it in the sea of mail.
