Awesome work Zdoor! Stern take notice because this should have been there in the first place.
I'd like to see pics in machines also when people get time. Sounds dumb but I'm keeping an album of painted figures and mods I've done and really appreciate the pics in people's games.
Next batch of cubes is about ready. Will be assembling kits soon. As soon as the brackets are finished, I should have all pre-orders ready to go. Spoke to the machine shop today and was promised a delivery date of within 2 weeks. Have ordered an extra 50 brackets to avoid future delays and save myself and likely the machine shop the headache of my constant prodding. It's frustrating waiting on the mounts to ship when the cubes are done...
Appreciate everyone's patience. I'm happy with how they've come out and think they will be worth the wait. No 2 are identical due to the handmade nature of them. They are small custom made pieces of art in the machine and have been crafted that way.
They will arrive to you already installed on the mounts and ready to put in the machine. Install is not hard and detailed instructions are sent via pdf. I'm fairly fast at it but think an install time of 30-60 minutes is realistic for the solder in version.
I've decided to offer solder in and alligator clip (plus $5) in versions in the next batch. I think it's the most cost effective for those that don't want to solder and I'd like to keep the cost down as much as I can. For the few that PM'd me with questions, the difference is simply how the lighting is wired to the machine. Both versions use the same circuit and the lighting effect is the same. My preference is to solder for reliability but testing the clip in version has been very good as well.
Thanks again

Sorry for the double post
Cursed iPad...

Will prob just add a spot light like the one that came with your kit..
Got a link real quick where i can find?
If you can't find figures let me know. I have extras of every one except Thor. Would sell them for what I paid.
Just saw this photo on the Dallas News entertainment "GuideLive" website covering the Texas Pinball Festival.
Cubes are ready. Waiting on Machine shop to finish mounting brackets. Expected to be ready Tuesday or Weds of next week. Cubes will ship as soon as brackets are received. I have ordered 50 extra brackets beyond the 50 that are part of the next batch of cubes to ship. So there should be far less delay on future shipments.
I will begin taking payments now for this next shipment. Please email me at [email protected] and reference your Pinside name as that is how the list is organized. I will hold your place through Friday. I will give you payment instructions when I respond.
Also, there are only 4 unspoken for cubes in the next shipment of 50. So, if you are interested, contact me ASAP. I got a lot of orders after the Texas Pin festival. So theses will likely be gone today or tomorrow.
Thanks for your patience.
Quoted from Zdoor:I should be caught up on emails. Contact me again of you have not gotten a reply.

Second Run is completely sold out. Still waiting to hear back from a couple of the pre-orders. If one or 2 become available, I will update.
I have been doing my best to keep up with the PM's but my pinside mailbox looks like a bomb went off in it. Please contact me at [email protected]
It is much easier to keep emails than PM's.
There will not be as long of wait on the next run as I've ordered extra mounting brackets and that has been the delay.
Thanks for the patience
Next run is about 14 days out. So far 25% of them are already spoken for. If you have interest please email me at gcomin at hotmail dot com. I will not take payment until cubes are close to shipping. But, you will have one reserved.
Shipping Thursday and Friday. All of the cubes are spoken for (you have one coming).
Next run will be about 1 week behind that one. About 30% sold on that batch.
These look great! I just saw the one at "cleland's" house yesterday. Pictures really don't do it justice.
Just installed my cube and flasher... WOW WOW WOW. One of the greatest mods I've installed. Changes everything for the better. I HIGHLY recommend.

I just installed the lighting for your Tesseract cube and I have to say your work on this is truly art.
Easy to install and simply gorgeous standing still or in motion.
I highly recommend this mod and ZDor/Gio is fantastic to work with.
Thank you very much for your wonderful contributions to the hobby.
I am looking forward to seeing what you do next.

All cubes are shipped.
Going to take orders for the next shipment on Hemi and I's new site. It was a bear to keep them organized manually.
Next shipment is 10 days or so out.
Just installed the Version 2 cube, really ads to the game play. I actually shoot for the cube now. beautiful!
Planning to install my Ver 2 tess cube mod later today. Anyone have a link to instructions - just in case there are any "don't do this" kinda reminders Looks pretty simple, but hey I don't mind learning from others mistakes.
They were emailed in a PDF file. If you do not have them in your email shoot me an email and I'll reply with the instructions.
Stock available for shipment NOW! All preorders are being packaged and shipped.
To place an order please go to our site at

Thanks and PM me with any questions
Kudos to Zdor on this one, it's a game changer. Really, you actually change the way you play because you want to hit the Tesseract now. Videos don't do it justice.
When you order off the site, does it come with clamps or no? There were originally 2 ways to mount and hook up right?
