Quoted from pinballjah:Ordered by mistake and does not fit Pro LED version swinging bell. Cut the back side off and added a little two sided velcro. Think it looks pretty good.[quoted image][quoted image]
Indeed it does, pinballjah - where did you order this mod from? Thanks.
Out of curiosity - has anyone installed a Premium train in their Pro?
If so, are there any additional parts required over/above the train itself? I've looked in the current Premium manual and I'm not seeing any reference to anything other than the actual "Molded Train Toy - 511-6987-00", but when I look on the bottom of my train vs. the Pro playfield there's not a good way to mount it using what is available.
Am I missing a mounting plate or something else that secures the train to the left ramp?
TIA for help on what I know is now an "old mod".
Quoted from ezatnova:Yep. One of the best mods. Two way Velcro and soldered on alligator clips. Clip it to the RnR Train song jukebox leads
Fantastic - thank you @ezatnova - I'll work towards those items.
Quoted from Eskaybee:Sad but amusing story. So i never quite liked the vault bell mech compared to how i remember it on the premium. Today, i just happened to take a look at it and found out why. The bell was resting on the left part of the metal guide causing it to bind up a bit. It made for tough and unsatisfying bell hits. Well, loosened the two screws holding the bracket, repositioned and tightened. Bell swings super freely now how it should. So good to hit, so satisfying.
Long story short, check your bell guides to make sure it’s not binding.
Good point. I've recently installed the Vault bell mech on my "first run" Pro machine. Personally, I like the Premium bell mech better, as it is suspended overhead, secured at the left side, and there is no metal guide to limit the swinging action of the pendulum. I'm wondering why Stern put that guide on the Vault, as there's really no way for the pendulum and/or bell to "move" from side/side regardless of whether the Vault or the Premium mech in use. Seeing how the Vault guide *could* move over time, it seems like more a liability than anything else.
The Premium mech "looks better" (IMHO) since there is no guide.
Quoted from Darscot:Did you buy it as parts individually? I saw a thread on that here but it seemed rather pricey to buy that way? I just have the swinging bell mod on my original run pro and I'm pretty happy with it but maybe its time to upgrade.
Also on the topic of the train mod is there any good mod to for those that replace that song with Dirty Deeds?
Hi Darscot - I did. There's a few parts (washers, etc.) that probably aren't necessary for you to buy from a distributor (meaning you could find them laying around your house/toolboxes). Had it to do over again, I'm not sure I'd install the limiter since the Premium doesn't have it and lack of it doesn't seem to impede gameplay.
For reference, here's the Vault Pro swinging bell assembly and the corresponding part numbers:

Do make sure you order the e-clips and nyliner bushings if you don't already have some on hand. They are also available from PBL (likely cheaper than from Stern).
Darscot - curious where you purchased the "face cover sticker" you have on your pro? That does look better than the sneering Angus face, no doubt about it.
