Love those Mondo prints! I have Mondo's Frankenstein, The Mummy, The War of the Worlds, Forbidden Planet and The Day the Earth Stood Still matted and framed in my game room.
Quoted from MT45:I'll bet those are awesome - can you post a pic when you get a chance?
Here are some rough shots of the MONDO posters.
Quoted from jfh:Good choice Jim. If you like Batman the TV series you will love Batman 66 the pin.
Welcome to the club. The only thing you've missed is all the code update drama.
Batman and The Man From U.N.C.L.E. were two of my favorite shows! I was 15 years old when Batman came out and I never missed an episode.
Quoted from thundergod76:Awesome! Time to start ordering some necessary mods!
Absolutely! Any favorites to recommend?
Just got the call that my BM66 Premium will be delivered between 8AM and noon tomorrow! Preparing for a lost weekend of pinball.
I need to update my software on my newly unboxed game, but am unsure what I am doing. I have erased my USB and formatted it to FAT32. I am now downloading 0.90 from Stern, but I have no idea which of the many choices for 7-Zip I am supposed to add to the USB. Can anyone help?
Thank you.
Jim
EDIT: I got it figured out! I did not need the 7-Zip file at all, as that is only needed for those who have Windows 7 issues and I do not.
Quoted from PinsOnly:That is a cool card! I was happy with the one on my Premium too.
Looks great! Nice action scene.
Any hints/techniques for installing the side art blades on BM66? Those are some tight clearances! Not sure of the best way of doing this. It looks like it could be a disaster if they stick in the wrong place.
Quoted from spandol:It is a disaster if you put them in the wrong place!
Buy this stuff - Rapid Tac - amazon.com link »
There's a smaller bottle if you want to spend less.
Spray it on the sticky side after you take off the covering. Once the play field is upright, push it over to the opposite side so it gives you a little clearance on the side you are applying the decal. Take the decal, with the Rapid Tac applied and work it into the correct position.
Use one of these rubber squeegees to rub on the decal downward to get rid of the excess Rapid Tac. amazon.com link »
Clean that stuff up with a rag and you're done! The decal will dry perfect!
Thank you so much spandol, this is exactly what I was looking for! I'm ordering it today. What a resource Pinside is - thanks to folks like you and the others on this thread.
Jim
Well, I've already ordered the Rapid Tac from Amazon and they say it will be here some time Monday. I think it will be Tuesday when I do the installation. Thanks to both of you, I feel confident it will go well. I'll report my results once it is done.
Quoted from drummerboy71:I would like to hear from you which mods are not to be missed to buy for this BM 66 premium, Thanks!
I recommend the Stern side art blades and the Stern shaker (for the Spike 2 system).
I think the external volume control from Pinball Life is a good option for home use. An easy install - just remove the plug for the tournament button and it fits right in.
Quoted from spandol:Cool, looking forward to seeing. I like Rapid Tac, and it's not that expensive.
It worked like a dream! Worth every penny. I struggled and swore installing my Ghostbusters blades last year and today I installed the BM66 ones in less than 15 minutes with no drama at all. They are perfectly aligned and look great. Thanks for the advice Spandol.
I just wanted to post that tonight our daughter and son-in-law came by and we spent the evening drinking wine and playing our new BM66 Premium. What a fun game! We had a great time playing and laughing - and isn't that why we are all in pinball? I love this game!
Quoted from J85M:Just did my playfield swap yesterday, anyone with a magnet like the one in my new playfield??
My Premium was built February 02, 2018 and it has the two piece magnet. Works great.
I ordered the Pin Stadium kit with UV+Glow on Friday for my BM66 Premium. I hope to have it in the next couple of days. I think one of the poppers might prove to be the best hookup for the UV. Anyone have a different recommendation?
Quoted from Yelobird:For my setup I found the center pop flasher in the Playfield was the best option for the UV flasher. Great effect without being over the top. Hope he is caught up with production but in most cases it does take several weeks for them to ship FYI.
Yes, Scott has shipped it already. It has made it as far as the Des Moines, IA post office on the way to Chicago - it should only be two or three days now. Thanks for the advice on the center pop flasher.
Quoted from thundergod76:Read this thread. It will tell you everything you need to know to do it the right way. Welcome to the club!

Thanks for linking the thread. A very useful and important mod.
I successfully loaded the new 0.92 code today - it looks great. I set it to free play, put in a custom message and cannot find where to set the difficulty level. Can anyone help? Thanks!
I ordered the MOD Couple sewer decal and the Premium speaker light kit for my BM66 Premium today. Their mods are exceptional!
I'm wondering if a Flipper Fidelity speaker upgrade kit is worth the money on BM66 Premium. Do any of you have advice on this? Also, I was amazed at the number of choices on their website for Spike 2 systems - so many choices!
I'm considering upgrading the Batmobile that came on my BM 66 Premium. It is a boring flat black and grey and is riveted to the disc. I was thinking of doing the Mod Couple turntable mod anyway, so this would be a good time to upgrade the car.
Any suggestions on a better looking Batmobile that will fit? What is the best way to affix it to the disc, Gorilla tape?
Thanks for your suggestions.
Thanks for the great suggestions everyone. I was able to find the exact Batmobile that jfh pictured in his post. It was just a few dollars on eBay. Now I will order the Mod Couple disc upgrade to complete the mod. Thanks again!
Quoted from AdeptJR:Has anyone had any luck contacting Cointaker? Been try for a few weeks.
Go to the Cointaker website. Look at the bar across the top and click "Contact Us". Look down the list until you see this:
570-847-9595 Melissa, Sales / Customer Support
Call it.
Melissa is one of the very best people in the business. She takes and returns calls.
Thanks to Yelobird for his excellent mods and to everyone who gave me advice on selecting which Hot Wheels Batmobile to use and how to mount it. This is a big improvement over the flat black Batmobile that was riveted down.
Quoted from jfh:I hope before isn't on the left or you did it wrong ...
You're right! I fixed the order of the statement rather than re-shoot the photo, as the "after" is now mounted in the game.
Quoted from PBMAN:I am selling my left ramp. Brand new. Just bought Red Powder Coated on from Marco
Don’t know if anyone wants or needs one. $75 shipped.
PM me if interested. Thanks
Do you have a photo of the ramp installed?
Quoted from PBMAN:Here is a pic of the new ramp installed and the one I am selling. Didn't take a pic of the original ramp installed.
[quoted image][quoted image]
Thanks for the pic, the red looks great.
Quoted from PBMAN:Nevermind. Just found link. The is a must next to the Batphone

What did you use to stick the Shakespeare bust down? I'm ordering one now.
I had to order two Shakespeare busts to meet the vendor's minimum dollar amount. The first person to message me can have one of them for free. You must be in the US.
EDIT: The Shakespeare has been claimed. Or should I say someone has grabbed the bust?
Quoted from hawkmoon:Honost to God.has ANYONE got a B66 that wasn't screwed up nib???
My Premium was perfect out of the box. I didn't even need to make any minor tweaks. It was built February 02, 2018.
Quoted from jfh:Can I get one with purple tape instead of the green?
You lose the contrast with the purple background/purple tape. That runs against my artistic vision, so it will cost an extra $100.
Quoted from Yelobird:As promised..... Plunge the dynamic Duo into crime with a "KaPOW" custom shooter plate Mod! Simple yet theme correct mod to dress up the boring shooter housing. 3D Design with raised accents to put the Pow in your plunge!! Hand detailed in classic colors and simple to install without modification. Let the villains know there is a new shooter in town, KaPOW!

Mine arrived today and I installed it in just a few minutes. Looks great! A very nice touch.
Even though I am running the latest software, I sometimes get a Villan Vision message that says: "VILLAN VISION UPDATE AVAILABLE" and then it is back to normal next time I turn it on. Any ideas what it is trying to tell me or is it just a software glitch?
Maybe I just got lucky, but I had no problems installing either the Batphone or the Atomic Pile. I did use a forceps to guide the wire.
Quoted from Vino:Doc signal can be placed anywhere on the back box as it has a magnet at its base.
That may help you achieve a larger spotlight.
Same issue and mine looks great.
You can even move it lower onto one of the rear legs.
