Quoted from harbngr:Here it is. I had to tape a tear on mine. But it would be very easy to reproduce from some stiff flexible plastic.
I just made a deal to join this wonderful club. 
I'm told the game is missing this very plastic. Can I buy one somewhere or do I need to rig something together??
Quoted from AlexSMendes:Sad to say I'm now officially out of the club
This club got awfully quite after you left. 
Quoted from Ralph67:Few more of Catacomb in the line up . so much colour!
Oh a Quicksilver too! Nice collection!
Quoted from Pdxmonkey:I got one a month or so ago.
Hi pdxmonkey. We met in Dallas this year. I hope Tiger and I get to catch up with you on our next trip to Portland in the summer.
That's really cool. Ours is with the restorer so I can't check the number right now, but I'll ask him. 
Quoted from cottonm4:What you have in the center of the play field is a Magic Square. This one is called the 4 x 4 Durer magic square. There is more info. at this link.

and this link. (the one on the play field is reversed from the one in the link. The author created it in 1514 and the two numbers in the "toast" reflect that.
Very interesting!! Thank you!!
Quoted from TigerLaw:What are some good powder coat options for this title? Anyone have any photos with a powder coat job?
I think we will have to get rather creative with the powder coat.
Quoted from cottonm4:Does anybody know how to turn off that growling ?? // dragon?? sound? I don't mind the speech but that growling that comes on every time you hit some podunk switch is getting annoying.
Did you figure out how to turn off the growling or did it grow on you? We really can't wait to get our Catacomb back. Should be sometime soon.
Quoted from cottonm4:Let me simplify those rules since I have been playing it for awhile.
Those are simplified? I really can’t figure out how to score well on this game. Also, the bagatelle seems to be on for an arbitrary amount of time, after the first ball you can flip it for easily 20 seconds, each ball after that is fewer flips.
Quoted from cottonm4:Catacomb has made into the Top 100 at #99.
I need to rank it. I won my first ever IFPA event on Friday night thanks to Catacomb. I was dubious about the game before but now I absolutely love it!! 
Quoted from cottonm4:Well, you sure came a long way in a short period of time Grows on you, don't it
Hell yes it does. I just rated it. I used a quote I read you say about the game being easier to understand than explain in this thread in my rating. Haha!
Quoted from TechnicalSteam:I suppose I should of asked. What kind of Value should I put on Stern Catacomb?
This game is very clean, fully functional, nice plastics, minimal wear. Playfield is 8/10.
Back glass is nice, with one one barely noticeable ding.
You might want to rebuild the pops before you list it and show a video of the pop action. I agree with what cottonm4 said earlier in this thread that Catacomb really thrives with super active pop bumpers, the game needs them.
You never really see Catacombs come up for sale. I’ll be curious to see what you can get for your game. Good luck.
