Bought my first pin, No Fear!

Congrats! One always leads to more!!!!

Cab art doesn't that bad. I would just have fun with it and save money money for your next pin. Once you park a few pins next to each other, you won't see most of the cab art. I would also suggest going easy on the mods for your first pin. Easy to blow through a lot of cash on those sort of things and mods don't usually add any value. Have fun!

Congrats on the game

Yeah, that artwork looks fine to me--better than most examples I've seen. I've seen much, much worse. Considering the expense and hours and hours of time to do a decal job properly, I'd leave that alone. Plus, most collectors prefer the original artwork.

Congrats and great choice for a 1st pin, shouldn't get "old" for quite a while, unfortunately this is now akin to having the "Black Plague", you'll never be cured, "That's the way it goes, first your money then your clothes"

Scott Scott...sweet Scott. CONGRATS first of all!
Do You know what's better than a No Fear with kick ass side decals? Another Pinball machine.
Buying expensive mods for your machine is fun in the short run but not as fun as another machine. Believe me when I say all those monies you'd spend you're probably not going to get back, and they could go into a pool of cash for your next machine.
And they'll be another one.

Just kick back and enjoy it for awHile man!

Totally under rated game. I picked one up a little while ago and I'm still surprised more people don't like it. Lots to do.
Congrats and welcome

Welcome Scott,
I'm fairly new here, few months I guess. I spent some time fixing minor issues on my pin, then decided it was lonely! It's a disease, and cash is the cure, keep your cash.

In the motorcycle world the saying goes "Right bike, right price, right time; pick 2"

Same here I'm guessing.
Good luck and have fun!

Congrats on your first pin, no fear is a real speed demon!!! Enjoy!!!

^^^This. I was expecting a faded to white cabinet or something. Don't waste money and time with new decals for your game, it doesn't need them.

artwork looks great compared to most no fears. Pissing money away if you redo it, never recoupe that $300.

Great first game, congrats and welcome to a great hobby!

Nice! I would have to agree with the others on the mods, i would just throw some good leds in it (if it doesn't already have them ) maybe put some silicon rubbers in and just play it! I just did a full restore on a pirates of the carribean and I used retrorefurbs for my decals and I was really pleased with ththe service and quality if you decide to go that route. Installing new decals takes time and patients

New balls too. Always new balls.

ss2049 First of all: Congratulations with your first pinball machine!

No Fear is as awesome as it's underrated, fast and fun game with not 1, not 2 but 5 different multiball modes! Got one since February 2016 and still loving it. I do recommend trying different levels of steepness, I find that it really changes this game in a positive way to have it set up very steep. (Top of bubble at third line) Have fun playing!

Welcome aboard. Love my nf. One of the longest lasting b/w in my collection. Pure adrenaline when your shots are on point.

Being somewhat of a "i don't like LED's guy" , i am wondering if LED's kill the awesome light show , especially at the end of the game. i'd be curious to see a video of that with LED's compared to normal bulbs.

Amen! Mine was faded yellow, but it played great. I just bought another machine to sit next to it and hide the side.

I'm not a huge user of LEDs, but I think herg 's LED OCD board solves a lot of these issues. I believe it also lets you skip the pricey non-ghosting LEDs too.

Here's a tip: get out while you still can. Once you buy one game, they somehow multiply. Joking aside, nice pickup and welcome.

Great game. Jump ramp is awesome. Your cab art looks pretty dang good. I would leave it and save for next pin, because it is coming.

So you took a big chance and bought a pinball machine - have you no fear?

I had one pinball machine once. If only I could go back and warn myself. Congrats and welcome. There is a ton of useful information on here so don't hesitate to ask any questions you have. I won't have the answers, but others will.

I've had JM for two years and have still never pulled the trigger on the OCD. I don't know why, I think it'd make it much better

Great game, wish I still had mine. "2nd place is the first looser". Awesome quotes.

The number one mod for this game, without a doubt is googly eyes! Get some today!

Or maybe it's now the ColorDMD, which was just released.

This was my first pin! Great game. It will make you a better player if you don't just shoot the jump ramp all the time. Try and get to meet your maker! Very challenging and every bit as exciting once you do it!

Hey now color DMD is a mod we can all get behind because you can just take it out and put back in your old DMD if you ever sell it, move it to another game.
