For anyone looking to do a simple holo mod, here's a small HOWTO for running @Steve45's serial media server on the same Pi as a TiltAudio sound card :

This way, you get both enhanced sound, multimedia capabilites and a holo replacement in one.
Quoted from Soulrider911:Hey folks I need your help. I was removing my speaker panel plastic today because I needed to repair something in my taillight mod, and I damaged the plastic...major bummer as mine was basically brand new. I know these things are borderline impossible to find does anybody know where I could find one thank you so much
Can't vouch for the quality, though.
Maybe this is a better bet :

If you're looking to replace your non-working hologram *and* get better sound at the same time for a reasonable price and a bit of DIY this works great : https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/new-creature-holo-mod-for-cftbl
Starts out as a pure holo replacement, further along I describe how to combine it with a TiltAudio sound card so it all runs on a single Pi.
Quoted from Mellow:Does anyone have a file to print the decal set for the lockbar (High Votage under playfield, Inspected by, install 3 Balls) and the other decals inside the cabinet like 16-9244?
It will save me from painstakingly recreating them in illustrator.
Thank you.

Quoted from Mellow:I have the top of my playfield stripped ready for a deep clean and polish. I am also rebuilding the snack bar hole before a cliffy. New rubber, posts, jets, plastics (with protectors) and all new ramps.
My question is since I am this far should I strip the bottom also? I will be removing all coils for service anyway. The bottom is not super dirty but the black dust does not come off 100% even with a toothbrush scrubbing. The harness also has the standard 30 year old dust and dirt.
I have never done a bottom strip but are confident I can do it. I will have to build a rotisserie also.
Do you guys clearcoat the bottom after sanding to clean easier in the future? Do I leave lamp sockets on the harness but remove micro switches before a bath? Is there a guide for bottom stripping?
Any thoughts, experience and words of wisdom will be appreciated.

I usually take off all coils from the harness but leave sockets and switches.
After a trip in the dishwasher, hang to dry.
When dry, use a metal brush to remove corrosion from the insides of the lamp sockets.
I never bother to clear coat the bottom, but that's a matter of taste.
