but I added some post LEDs:

and swapped all the star posts to clear:

and I added a trough light:

and LED strips by the corkscrew, to the left of the skeeball ramp, behind the ducks, and behind the rabbits:

I used vid1900 's technique of aluminum tape behind the ducks
The overall brightness is AMAZING

Quoted from MANTO1975:

I am interested in purchasing a stencil kit for my Comet, do you know where I can purchase one from?
cheers

Quoted from jaytrem:

Question. Did you go with the orange or red instruction card? Been meaning to try to figure out which would look better, thanks.

Quoted from Pinbub:

Beuatiful cabinet on that! Restored or original?

Quoted from Patzik:

I got so far in restoring it, and my kids have played it quite some time now.
Was just about to post some pictures and yesterday they called me saying something bad had happened.
I guess the rebuild put some power back into the flippers, and now a piece broke off the center ramp!
I noticed earlier that some of these ramps have a protector, and some don’t. Mine doesn’t and was already thinking of getting one but just could not find it. Now it’s too late...
I guess I can try to glue it back, I am looking for the best glue for this, because you only get one shot, after that the glue remains of the first try will make it impossible. I think the best option I have seen for now that I can get here is acrifix.
Also looking for that ramp protector, but can’t seem to find it. Anyone know where I might be able to get it?
Also freeplay40 will make a new ramp soon I read so this might be an option if all else fails.
Any suggestion are more than welcome, the kids can hardly wait to play it again.[quoted image]

Quoted from pinballjah:

Could you post a photo of the ramp protector installed. Thanks.

Quoted from jaytrem:

Finally got my minty backglass that a friend picked up for me in KY. Seller was super nice. He had posted it for sale on craigslist a hile ago and somebody posted it on pinside (thanks!). The seller held it for me until Christmas week when my friend would be visiting my in-laws. Super excited![quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:

For those of you who have purchased my 3D Comet roller coaster mod, can you please post some pics of where you installed it? People ask me on occasion, but I don't have anything to show them.

Quoted from Comet_20:

First Pin picked up a Comet two weeks ago so far love the game. And have done a few fixes already.
First I had a light not working found diode was in backwards wonder if this light never worked? looked to have all the same numbers as other diodes just installed backwards flipped it and the light now works.
Also had a burnt TIP122 that i fixed. robbed Q85 to replace Q83 and replaced the coil and all is back to working.
couple of questions
1. where can i get the "1 Million sign" at the back of the cycle ramp mine is competently missing. There is one on Ebay but its missing the housing that covers the bulbs. anyone have a spare that they are willing to part with?
2. anyone ever order the translite form EBay ebay.com link » Williams Comet Pinball Machine Backglass Translite Replacement my backglass seams faded but you tell me does it look too bad?
Thanks for any help !

Quoted from Jason43:

I use plain old comet led's. I have a slight ghosting in some inserts, but not enough to bother me

Quoted from codered9394:

Reaching out to find another part. Looking for the left flipper return ball guide and whatever parts are needed to install. I assume i can make the standoffs and spacers. Bolts shouldnt be a problem also. My machine was missing every thing in the area.

Quoted from Dan986:

One of my two all time favorite pins is Comet. I put together this back panel mod of Riverview amusement park graphics that I think really adds to the look of the pin. It is 90% done.

Quoted from jergo1976:

Hello! I've lurked for awhile and registered to ask a quick question about my comet main ramp sticker (underneath)
Years ago, I bought a new ramp and sticker. Over time, the sticker has fallen off. It's in great shape, no wrinkles-but just no adhesive. What would be a good clear type of adhesive to apply to either the sticker or the ramp to reattach?
Thanks all, especially vid-your guides are great!

Quoted from Atari_The_Jedi:

I think that was it just leave the other post was up a little high compared to this one but so headed to screw them down. I've looked at this thing so much I can't see what's in front of my nose anymore. Still got a couple rollovers not playing nice and the gates and everything just need to be played. But it's coming together Pier One I like is that this was probably considered a parts Machine by most but is now a glimmering shimmering beautiful machine. Don't get me wrong I spend way too many hours and way too many dollars on it

Quoted from reconsider59:

Unfortunately, this isn't possible—it's not a wire piece. It's a metal ball guide.
The part number is I believe A-10712, and there don't seem to be any available searching on the internet...
If I were you, mfdavis1, I'd reach out to Marcos about possibly recreating them (from listening to podcasts with the folks who run the business, sounds like they're receptive to requests from the community, in terms of sourcing parts).
And in the meantime, find a way to grind and smooth that metal piece so it's not gonna chew up your balls, and will feed correctly during play. If you'd like, I'm happy to pull the glass off my game, take the plastics off, and send you some clean photos of how it looks, how it should fit in a stock game, and what the exact measurements are. Feel free to message me if you'd like.
Maybe there's something comparable out there, but in terms of part number, this is the only game that I can find (via an admittedly quick search) that uses that part. Finding someone parting out a beater is always a possibility!
