That version of black hole is a lot more interesting to me than the original, but I think its way too much.

What he did was is amazing.
Plenty of BHs out there to modify, 1 less is not really going to be missed.

It's their games, I couldn't care less what they do with them. On the other hand, you won't see me doing anything like this... way too much work.

I think it's pretty neat but if I was looking for a Black Hole I would want the original. His customization is really great though.

Wow that's really awesome.

the mirrored pf is really impressive

I think it's brilliant!

Yes and yes. Normally I don't like playfield alteration. Gimme original. But when there is that much thought and effort put into a build, I will go with that. Besides, I look at that as more of a custom game which just happens to be very similar to an existing game of the same name.

+1.

That's beyond major. That's re-engineering the game. The Geometry is the same, but the physics and appearance are drastically changed.

I have to yay this one. I love that playfield. When the lower level turns on and off, it's a great effect. Adding a skill shot too was genius

That's funny. I had some people over tonight and they were talking about that exact game and showed me the video. I think it's amazing.

I can go either way tho. I Love keeping things original. But at the same time something's can be added to a game and make it what I like to call OEM plus. Things added and keep the game original but improved. There is a fine line when modding a game and customizing.

In the end I guess I would have to say I'm on the customization side since this is the Xenon I just finished.

Theres an TAF thats all modified I seen that looked killer. Total custom job that I never saw before and it was tasteful. i'am sure some of you pinheads seen it on the web, I cant remember where I saw it, but I wont forget it. So I have to say "YAY" as long as its tasteful and looks as if it was from the factory.

Man, that's some amazing work. I think as long as its tastefully done its fine, and this is.

I personally think that is one hell of a mod.
It is Beautiful in jet black. I really like the look of the PF, pops and the xenon style tube for skill shot.
If something like this came up local depending on the price I would be interested.
It must be done right to be reliable but it looks great.

Not so much of a playfield mod, but one of my favorites next to that BH.

And yes, that's a real coffin.

The wide-body Addams Family is cool.

So is all his other stuff. But this is not the norm and most stuff you see is either a work of art or a work of a noob.

that thing is absolutely gorgeous. I'm usually more of a purist (want to see how it was meant to be played from the factory), but this definitely adds a lot to making it play better. That layer of mirrored glass on top is nuts, I can only imagine the time it took to redrill all the holes for the posts and rails.

+1 on widebody TAF and Wizard Blocks.

I love that Black Hole. I was actually talking about that video yesterday myself. Would love a Black Hole like this one and wish there were several modded this way with the mirrored lower playfield. Extremely cool!

Creativity should be encouraged and this guy was extremely creative with his Black Hole.

I LOVE this!

I am against the grain here, but I like keeping it original unless the mod is something that was in prototypes but cut to save costs. With the way pin prices are spiraling upward, I see them like classic cars. Original is preferable, mods decrease value IMO.

Never seen this before I want the MM and the TAF. amazing looking work.

Well i like mods for certain but it realy depends on the game in question
If it is a high production game like Xenon Black Hole etc its fine if done tastefully
But at the same time it would be awful if done on a game like Varkon that is extremely rare and should be preserved as original
Leds are a harmless reversable mod different star post colors exceptable on rare game but major mods on rare birds is a bad thing

Either way i like to make most mods i do reversable as possible so the machine can be converted back to original if need be
but either way a mod should be done with quality and professionaly or dont ruin the machine if you dont know what youre doing
Thats my opinion at least
