Quoted from radial_head:I would avoid doing any color rubbers. The orange ones that most people install looks cheesy as all get out, and there is already enough blue on the playfield to warrant blue rubbers. Black ones are great, but even black Titans still get the PF dirtier than it needs.
I highly recommend the clear Titan rubbers for this theme. They look great, help out with the general GI of the game (as they are slightly translucent) and then go crazy with your flipper rubber color as an accent.
Just my two cents from someone who has a BFA with a speciality in color science (albeit in light and not pigment but you get the gist).
Thanks for the advice! Never even thought about doing clear. I’m sure I’ll try out some different varieties before I find my favourite

Hey guys just checking to see if anyone has had this issue before. When the ball goes to the lower Playfield the flippers are dead, lights are out, there’s a strange persistent sound, and the relay under the lower Playfield clicks like 3 or 4 times. The ball gets sent back up to the top Playfield and all is well again.
Quoted from Zigzagzag:Which flippers are dead - the top or bottom ones ?
And is it the bottom lights or top lights that are out ?
The lower Playfield flippers and lower Playfield GI lights
Quoted from frenchmarky:If the rollover switch at the back of the spinner lane doesn't register, the ball will just drop down there without activating the lower flippers or lower lights and will be kicked back up, as you are seeing. Try activating that switch by hand and see if it is working or just needs cleaning. However the persistent sound and relay clicking sound strange so maybe that isn't the problem. There will be various things clicking between when the ball drains into the lower pf trough and is eventually kicked back up.
What does the 'persistent sound' actually sound like, the background sound or the lower pf 'blowing wind' sound or (?)
When ball enters lower pf, do the upper playfield lights turn off like they are supposed to?
The sound starts as almost static then changes to another sound shortly after. I’ve removed the lower Playfield and it still occurs.
Quoted from Clintonian:The sound starts as almost static then changes to another sound shortly after. I’ve removed the lower Playfield and it still occurs.
So I cleaned and adjusted the L relay again and now the lower Playfield lights cycle on and off as they should in attract mode. When the ball goes downstairs the same strange noise occurs, and only one flipper works...getting closer.
Quoted from DuffysArcade:As far as sounds go...have you tried cleaning & reseating the connector on the sound board? I recently had a similar issue on Haunted House where it suddenly began playing the wrong sounds and it was just a dirty connector.
Yeah I’ve re-pinned the connectors and cleaned the contacts. Everything works now minus the strange sound that occurs.
Quoted from Slogan1111:If there are removable eproms on the board. Take them out & clean the legs.
I’ll give that a try thanks
