Want the color dmd so bad... but my hologram is so awful. Choices choices.

Really wish there was a good repro hologram :/

Anyone have trouble with direct hits to the snack bar being rejected? I think it's from the deflector loosening up over time. Anyone tried replacing the deflector with the pinbits replacement?

Cool image Alex...wonder if that is available as a print somewhere.

Having issue with snackbar. Getting a lot of rejects from good shots to the scoop. I know its blasphemy... but should I remove the cliffy? Maybe the metal scooop needs to be bent or replaced?wonderug if people have had a similar issue.

Just got the super jackpot for the first time after owning this game for 5 years.... and in the first ball! Lol Adrenaline rush!!

Love this game! (I know the score isn’t that great)

So close to a billion for the first time!

So when you get 3X everything in Multiball does that include super jackpot? This game was twice as high as my previous GC score hah

Do you guys wax your game? Do you go right over the window?

Novus 1 is a good cleaner but I don’t know if it does anything for protection. I might remove the window and wax. Then reinstall the window.

How many switch hits should I get when the ball swirls the bowl? Currently getting 3.

Whoa, it’s like someone handing you 5 grand. Congrats!

I’ve had mine filled with LED in the past. I think I still have a couple in there. Nothing beats bulbs if you ask me.

Eh, maybe on a location you would have to worry. The games were made to use bulbs. If it can’t handle them the game needs repair. If you’re burning inserts the bulbs are too close or you’re leaving your game on too long.

How rarely do you see the Peeping Tom video mode? I saw it tonight and I had forgotten about it’s existence.., and I’ve owned the game for years! So funny.

You just have to ask? I want one too! Lol

This one?

You’re brain will hurt if you try to follow along with that one.

I’d be mad if my Creech came with a laptop screen instead of an original hologram. Just wish there was suitable green replacements that didn’t cost a fortune.

That’s an awesome amount of spins but I wouldn’t use that cleaner!

I can’t picture what this reed switch looks like to make it better

Oh wow, cool. Thanks l!

Lower the scoop. Put washers underneath to drop the scoop a little or actually physically bed the top of the scoop down gently with your palm. Probably getting too much rattle. Lowering the hood reduces the space for the ball to bounce around and the energy is directed toward putting the ball in the hole.

If it’s your dream game don’t let the hologram get in the way. It’s such a minor feature of the game. Though, I do wish mine wasn’t almost completely faded.

I want this!

Sent payment for my MRS! Hopefully can get more than two passes now lol (yeah, I stink at leveling the bowl).

Congrats! Most people hold onto their Creechs once they get them. It’s a special game.

Facebook just reminded me of this picture of my collection from 7 years ago. The only game that remains is Creech.

Couldn’t help myself. Had to buy this beautiful new book from Easton Press. I think spfxted would appreciate it.

New personal best. Will never stop loving this game.

I’ve done cool white and warm white. Then I realized nothing looks better than incandescent bulbs.

Agreed. And the perfect mix of attainable/challenging.

Hoping for some pointers on my sickly Creech.

Was playing and suddenly the colordmd went black and shut off. Now when I start game display is still black and ball popper coils fire in succession.

Maybe no power to opto board? I tried reseating all my connectors and ribbon cables.

I’ll keep messing around but hoping someone might have some tips.

Thanks!

Thanks! That was it. Replaced the fuse and it was working fine. Though on my second game I blew it again. During multiball when both balls were going crazy in the pops (not sure if that has anything to do with it). Maybe all the shaking is causing a short somewhere or something.

Thanks very much!

Aside from the ColorDMD, I have a “move your car” Cadillac lighted mod. I also added some LED to the pop caps that are ponied off GI.

I don’t care so much about the hologram feature as it’s faded to all hell... so I disconnected the lamp and mirror motor.

Seems ok now but would like to reenable the hologram at some point. Just hate having the game down since playing it is a nightly ritual.

Might try to attach this Gillman light to the mirror motor in place of my burnt out hologram. Somehow figure out how to have it come on when multiball active. Like tied to the hologram light... probably with a resistor added.

Has it been done already?

Nice work! Thanks for the info. Will get one.

EDIT: Darn, sold out

Looks great! For some reason I’ve alway wanted to put gold blades in mine. I like the combo of green and gold and I still use incandescent bulbs so I think the warm how would reflect nicely.
