10 mods are done and will be sending pm's tonight to the first 10 people

also, as vaguely mentioned earlier there is a lighting upgrade now also in which I factored a slot for the wiring to pass through in the bottom of the snackbar top. The top lighting upgrade adds a replacement for flashing dome for when the snackbar is open as that feature was lost due to the sign add on.

I will be supplying the plug, socket and linking wiring as a bonus freebie for the production run mods but you need to make or purchase the shapeways bracket yourselves directly and supply your own #555 wedge bulb. Due to the many bulb types this will be a little bit of trial to determine the best type of globe to fit to suit your taste. I started with a purple but went for a side lighting white / clear bulb.

I will update the manual tonight with this add on feature.

Update email sent out to everyone on the list (which is now full) and then sent payment pm's to the first 10 people as the mods are ready to send out.

cheers

just a short update and mainly those waiting for me to send the mod out. I decided to home 3d print the additional lighting bracket so people don't have to pay for a single bracket from Shapeways.

They can purchase one if this one breaks or if you want a different colour.

cheers

Jady

all 40 are accounted for, but if anyone drops then 1-2 may become available....

send me a pm with full name, address, email to lock in a position - though NO promises

maybe remove your email on this thread for your own privacy reasons

I don't take money until the mods are ready to post out but people have been patiently waiting for close to a year (life gets in the way sometimes) and all 40 spots are reserved as only making 40.

all good, just replied to your pm - you will see a letter jumping up and down in the top right of your screen

1st batch is out the door and starting on the second batch today, sanding and start undercoating the next 10.

chat soon batch 2 guys.

Update 23-1-19

Latest v2.0 manual added to cover the additional top lighting upgrade. Please disregard v1.0 manual for this mod.

CFTBL Snackbar Mod v3.0 - Manual rev2.pdf

Update 28-1-19

The next 10 have just been painted and will cure for a few days before decals go on, so will be chatting to the next batch of guys at the end of this week / weekend as should be ready to post out about the 4th Feb - accept waiting on some Comet Pinball wiring pieces for the lights.

cheers

Jady

Update 4-2-19

Batch 2 is finished and packing tomorrow night, I have sent emails to those next 10 people tonight (batch 2 guys) getting them ready for payment - aiming for a bulk post out on Friday 8th (Aus Time) as got a insane few days at work.

Final 20 snackbar tops currently being made by imaterialise and should start painting 10 units around the 15th Feb and hopefully be ready by the end of Feb / 1st week of March all going well.

cheers

Jady

thanks for the compliments from one modder to another, much appreciated.

that is great going postage wise....

glad you love it, thanks for sharing

cheers
Jady

Xerxes was very lucky as normally 12-14 days to Europe / USA / Canada, must of timed it well with a plane out of Aus.

hope yours turns up soon @peterg, maybe chase up your post office as checked from my end and they said they attempted twice on the 9th and no longer tried. In Aus after 7 days at the Post Office they return to sender.

Awesome, what a relief

thanks for sharing, enjoy...

All the ones remaining to be painted are allocated with a few addition people on a reserve list hoping for drop outs.

If I did make them again it would not be for a while = not this year at least.

only if a few of the guys that are upgrading sell their older versions.

I will try to help bsbdmd83 , the extra light feature that was added as a freebie last minute was due to early requests in which I had a concept in mind but the results can vary greatly depending on the bulb chosen. I tend to use Comet bulbs due to the matrix strips etc so I borrowed a image from their site that gave an artist impression of what their different bulbs do. That being said there are so many bulbs out there, just experiment with different ones.

The bulb location was chosen so it isn't directly seen but adds lighting to that area when the feature is on. I personally went for a side emitting led.

Update 27-2-19

next batch of 11 are nearly completed with the tops curing for a few days before I fit decals and finish off the other smaller parts - aiming to be completed by the end of this weekend. So for those people look out for your email and pinside pm.

Then within the next 1-2 weeks I will start the last production batch of 11 to fulfill the last batch of people which should be completed by the end of March, thanks again for everyone's patience.

regards

Jady

next 11 are complete and emails / messages will go out later today and will box, going to the beach with my family

last batch update:

all the tops are in (can see them in the above photo (dark grey parts)), comet pinball ran out of some blue and purple light strips early Feb so hopefully back in stock and will order soon, BUT my biggest delay is paint as used up all the major stocks of tamiya coral blue in Australia so wont' get the rest until end of March but bought a few off ebay for a little dearer to get a few done.

cheers

Jady

Update 4-3-19

- 8 of the 11 have been posted and tracking links have been sent to those pinsiders
- waiting on payment for the remaining 3 people

Also note: post time to the US is 10-14 days on average

cheers

Jady

I send an email and pinside pm when they are ready and I then give them 7 days to respond, and if they don't send me a message and ignore the messages but I can see that they have been on pinside they are taken off the list after 7-8 days

I don't get upset if they don't want it anymore considering I took forever to make these, line up changes, bills come in, so I respect peoples situation, but just ask people to let me know if no longer keen as currently have 4 people waiting in the reserve list with only a small run of 11 left to paint

Thanks Tommy, means alot, and I really do appreciate the support from repeat buyers that have bought either a v1 or v2 and now a v3 and some people have bought every version - which really blows me away. A huge big thanks from downunder.

Update 8-3-19

I have emailed the last 11 guys on the production list, so they know they are still on the list and minor delays due to coral blue tamiya paint shortage in Aus because apparently I purchased most of their stock

cheers

Jady
