The 007 Bond Scuba Kick Mod is a new enhancement brought to you by David Morrell of Pinball Wireforms. This mod replaces the existing left underwater eject which produces random and undesirable effects including:
continuous rebounds back into the same eject causing boredom,
unfair SDTM bounces,
added playfield wear and
randomly earns you progress in the game, taking control away from the player and generally stealing fun.
The Scuba Kick Mod solves all of these problems while cleanly and consistently returning the ball to the left flipper via a dynamic upkick that travels through an exciting 180 degree turn pipe that drops onto the existing left wireform return. The Scuba Kick balances the return paths to the flippers. Without the Mod, there is one return to the left flipper, yet there are 4 shots that need to be made from the left flipper, 2 of these start modes. The right flipper has three returns to it, and has 3 main shots, but none of these start modes. By adding the extra return to the left flipper the game requires less flipper work to pass to the desired flipper and creates a more even and enjoyable experience especially for newer players to pinball.
The Scuba Kick Mod not only improves the game, but it actually looks great as well. This is a James Bond Pinball after all. The new fully chromed wireform out of the depths mimics the existing wireform out of the DB5, complementing the look and feel of the game. It looks like it was always part of the original design. It’s also built to last. Not only is the wireform made out of the same 3mm wire and hand crafted and welded, it mounts on a new stainless steel plate which is etched to show the gun barrel design used in the iconic opening sequence of every Bond film. Nothing is left to chance with this mod, the existing VUK bracket with the deflector pointing up the playfield is being replaced by a custom modified VUK bracket where the deflector is removed. Simple to install, the SCUBA Kick will include all the parts required, will take 10 minutes to install, guided by comprehensive instructions and is totally reversible within minutes.
Rigorously play tested on a Pro machine, this is designed for all models Pro, Premium and Limited Edition.
Thank you to all our backers so far, we have sold over 150, YAY! For those that have fully paid, your mod should be arriving this week or next week.
Since it has been successful we have enough parts for another 100.
Pricing is the same $385 Australian dollars excluding postage. This equates to roughly to a bit under $250 USD (depending on exchange rate). Postage is around $39 USD to the US (again depending on exchange rate at the time).

My wife and more than a few of my friends have heard me say "there's no easily repeatable way to feed the left flipper" many times.
