As Jon Mclain said.....' Welcome to the party""
Melbourne
Quoted from Manny65:Given the game already has torx bolts and they suit the look I'd say Torx's are the way to go
Agreeed.
Ok agree will stick with Torx.
Other question is color of mounting plastic.
Ive made a test version in acid green but the tester suggested a clear plastic.
Im only going to have one set made so suggestions on color please.
Clear ,clear acid green,clear blue ?

Might be hard to get the perfect matching green or blue, so leaning towards clear. What did you use on the Heighway version?

Wasn't needed as Apron different.
Sat on the cover of the shooter coil section.
Ok clear it is
1 week later
OK nearing the completion of the first batch.
Also realised that setting a personal name on the Motion tracker fingerprint could be a logistic problem.
Thats me keeping track of units etc. I could cock up and send the wrong one.
So suggest we stick to a character from the film.
I would like Hudson but heres a list below of the suggestions noted before.
Hudson
Vasquez
Spunkmeyer
Drake
Quoted from Royale-W-Cheese:Hudson is good.
+1 Hudson
Quoted from joetechbob:Hudson
And whatever you do, don't confuse Hudson with Hicks or you will get reprimanded!

Don't sleep on his dramatic work either. Big Love, Frailty, a simple plan. Jesus, that guy had chops
Do any of you have any advice as to whether I should install the motion tracker as soon as it arrives or do you think I should wait until the apron arrives? Thx

OMG.....I loved him in Big Love...
Quoted from Royale-W-Cheese:OMG.....I loved him in Big Love...
He played the agony that would be having multiple wives to a "T". What a freaking nightmare lol

One wife limits my pinball/arcade collection already. Imagine how few games I'd have if I had multiple wives?

Please add me to the order list!
Quoted from RussG:Any more word on when these start to ship?
Thanks.
Got a tracking number tis morning! I expect it to "actually ship" in the next few days then.
Mine is on its way and its host Alien is (apparently) somewhere over the Atlantic ocean 
Thanks vimtoman!
Where is the single wire from this mod supposed to hook up to. The 3rd connector on the ball chute switch (ie: the one that has nothing connected to it?)
Quoted from Llabnip1972:[quoted image]
That's what I thought. For some reason, it isn't registering for me (ie: the screen just stays on the motion tracker animation... never goes to anything else) when plugged into that spare blade on the shooter switch. Not sure what's going on there.

Did you find the PDF attachment on all the emails I sent you?
Pull the plastic cover off the spade and check that the spade is making good contact to that connection.
Quoted from Vimtoman:To all ,Just in case PB have changed wiring on the Shooter switch heres the correct connections.[quoted image][quoted image]
My switch wires are reversed of how it shows in the pic. Black is in the middle. I will reverse these and see if it makes a difference. Thanks guys! That PDF is nice! I had installed mine just like the PDF, so I guess installation was pretty self explanatory except for this issue. 
Quoted from Vimtoman:Easiest way to swap the wires is to swap the crimped wires at the connector end.
Crimps are held in with a lever that you can pull up with a pin or fine blade to release the crimp.
Then just swap over .[quoted image]
Thank you Vimtoman !!! Reversing those wires totally fixed the problem. This mod is AWESOME!!!!!!!!
Quoted from brado426:I'm in nerd heaven right now:
