Can’t you install it same as Munsters premium/le?
I could copy my BK and post that but it seems the stern pf may interfere...
There is a rectangle of Mylar around the flipper buttons, maybe it is lifting off the cab and that is what you see that looks bad? Not sure, I zoomed in and you can see
Played BK3 on route today again. F that button on the lock. The game plays so fast it is worthless for real saves. The only time I see it being used is if the ball is “bouncing” off the top of the sling, which you could nudge instead.
Button at the flipper would help, although I had a ton of left drains today.
Quoted from Swoods5688:Has anyone done this yet? Just thinking out loud as I debate doing it. If you put it in the same location as the Munsters premium button and can use those lollipop rails then should the next buyer decide they don't want it a standard set of Lillipop rails should more that hide the hole in the cabinet. Am i wrong in my thinking? People use those to cover flipper button wear all the time
That would be my plan.
Quoted from John_I:I have done it and so have others. Read post 216 just above...
Not technically, you added a plug ‘n’ play button, you didn’t drill the cab.
I still think your version would be a great mod for anyone wanting to try this. As it does not involve drilling and you can remove, also it would give anyone a good idea how different the magma save will be with a button there
Quoted from John_I:Drilling the cabinet would have added five minutes to the install and saved me having to design and 3D print the button holder. If I didn't have and LE, I would have certainly drilled first. The key is to use microswitch buttons rather than the push button with a switch stack inside the cabinet. As mention before, the playfield is in the way on the Sterns where that was not a problem on the old Williams games.
I made one for another pinsider recently with an LE. He said he had two saves in his first game after never saving a single ball on all of his previous games since he purchased NIB.
If the Munsters 2 button was copied, it would fit, right?
Dang I love BK3, if I ever get a pro I’d get a button like what you did to see if it was worth moving. I had a BK and with the button right next to the flipper it makes a lot of sense and worked well.
Quoted from fnord:I've only ever owned 80s games and a r&m but is that gap on the cabinet corner normal? Seems pretty gapped to me.
That’s from where the vinyl stops, this is how stern does it now, I think my mmr does too
