Joined the club yesterday... thanks @asoa. A few things to tweak still, but my first question for the club... I there a modified rom out there for the VE that has the old SM callouts on it? I thought I read something about this... PM me if you have info.

These?

ebay.com link: Stern Spiderman Pinball Web Plastics Custom Colors

I saw they had a 5 piece set and a 3 piece set and it seems you can order custom colors. Never purchased these, so caveat emptor... but was bored so did a quick search. Let us know how they turn out if you do end up buying.

Classic!!

Nice!! And i had a different kind of luck over the weekend. Original owner HUO with very few plays.

Not sure where i found this, but have it in my files from somewhere. I don’t actually have these on my VE yet, so please post a pic of your apron if you print and use these.

I own both the original and the VE... both were single owner HUO when I acquired them and both are setup nicely. I think it does come down to personal preference with art vs callouts. I don’t think you can go wrong with either.

Well, the good news is that most of those plastics are designed to prevent ball traps from happening on routed machines (and take days to get someone there to unstick the ball)... so you can leave it off it you want and enjoy a more beautiful game with only a small chance you'll have to pull the glass if a ball makes it there. I remove a lot of those plastics from my HUO games (and put them in the coinbox for later)... such as the plastic between the wings of the dragon on MMR. I just thought that a dragon flying with a hunk of plastic on his back looked terrible and very degrading to the dragon!!

Well... this club has members who own the original and members who own the vault. In fact, some own both. The code, layout and general playability of this game puts in the top 5 pins of all time in my opinion. I love them both.

Yeah... but it’s not. We ran into the same issue for clear Tron discs a while back and a pinsider from the UK bought them and shipped to some of us in the USA. Not sure it would work well for just 1 decal.

Specifically, the spidey sense lane is qualified by hitting the standup targets. Then, the award is dependent upon what is running at the time. More details at the above link.

I do love that blue. I had both the OG and the Vault SM for a while in my collection, but recently sold the OG. the blue for my vault is a bit lighter, but still basically setup to match spidey’s outfit.

Absolutely. Love everything about this pin... but it did come with it from the previous user, so I didnt pick it out. Would do so if I didn’t have one though. Best imho.

Counterpoint… I have LED in my SMVE and would never replace it with LCD. Much brighter and the colors are more vivid.

I have about half and half LCD vs LED in my 30 pin collection and can attest that both have their merits. Match the style you’re looking for. In the case of my SMVE, I was very happy with the bright vivid colors.

On my LOTR, for example, the LCD matches the darker warmer tone of the pin much better.
