Quoted from Yelobird:Well this Club is awful quiet?? How about a "Atomic Pile" Mod Couple style to wake things up! As promised, the prototyping, design, and Endless test runs are now done and the Batman 66 Atomic Pile is now DONE! (not for sale yet but Very soon!) I think the design came out Very nice and Much better fits the theme, scene, and Class this pinball machine is in. While Stern made a very nice attempt our creation we feel really compliments the Batcave as it should be. All kits are currently being designed as a plug and play. You remove only the plug and 2 screws holding your Stern Atomic plastic and your done. The fit of this setup as you can see is like a Glove! I did have to make one concession and raise it .25" to accommodate the Stern squishy dog toy phone. If you have the slimmer aftermarket one you can simply remove my provided spacer though I actually Really like is just a bit higher so it covers the TV when the Batcave mode is running. (rotated) Also, with it raised it nicely shows the upper deck and applied warning stickers. I did need to keep it slightly still a Pinball theme so the silicone rings are used instead of the steel rings seen on the actual Atomic Pile. These rings also act as the replacement buffer behind the TV perfectly since the old ones will now be gone. Have a look at the pictures, we would love to know what you think! Love or hate, we do this because we enjoy it and love the 66 theme. (plus theres no code anyway!) I am Hoping to have these available in About a week. Please note that this mod takes an Insane amount of time to fabricate, assemble, paint, detail, etc so they will not be a shelf item but we will build them as fast as we can if there is interest. I will update all on pricing and availability for anyone interested. Thanks for all your interest!!
The Mod Couple
Just got my Batman66 Mods from The Mod Couple in the mail.
I am dying to get them installed. The Atomic Pile most of all. It is a thing of beauty to behold and pictures don't do it justice. Kudos and thanks to the Mod Couple.
Quoted from pghpinfan:How difficult is that to install ?
Reading the instructions it sounds pretty easy. I will post after the install with my impressions.
Quoted from Nstone4425:Can't wait to see some pictures!!
Here are a couple of pics with all the mods except the batphone which you can barely see in the upper left.

Isn't that the best of both worlds? Or maybe I am missing something.
Nailed it!

Now that I have installed these items I would say the Atomic Pile is a fairly easy install with the exception of finding the power cord to the original pile. And I do mean pile, the original is an eyesore, ha ha ha. But the new AP is really great and I would have gone to a lot, lot, lot more effort had it been necessary. Definitely a bargain price too when compared to other mods that make such a significant aesthetic improvement as this one does.
The instructions are good Yelobird but would be much better if you would post big versions of the pictures online. The small ones in the printouts were useless for me as is.
Quoted from Sunsfan23:I had to take that magnet decal off because the ball wouldn’t release, if u have that problem now u will know that’s the cause.
Thanks for your post on this. I will keep an eye out. Fortunately I waxed before I cal'd like the instructions suggested so I should be good if removal is necessary.

Did you play with the height of the magnet at all to try and resolve this?
