I just picked up a Congo and the lower playfield had yellow led's in it. I did the rest of the game in Comet day lights. Curious what other folks have done? The yellow gives it a semi erie feeling but am I missing artwork without the day lights? Any other cool schemes that people have done? Please show

Do the purple add much by the gorilla? What does the GI OCD board actually do? I have Comet Daylight 2 way frosted in all the GI's

Great idea using the flex bulbs. Do you have any pictures of how it looks?

One last question. When you lock the balls in the volcano and you start multi-ball does everyone's balls hit the top of the glass? Mine seem to hit the glass fairly hard and I didn't know if my coil was firing too hard or if that was common

Looks great. I think you have me sold with the purple

It looks like the top of the lip is busted off. I couldn't find in the manual how the above assembly is installed but if I click on the link, it looks like it's straight up and down and doesn't have a lip in the picture.

Does anyone know where to get the decals for each of the sides on the lower playfield?

I didn't seem to find it on Planetary's website, any other ideas?

Thank you Mitch for the find. Unfortunately they're out of stock right now

Thank you, just sent email

Plus 1 for inlane plastics

I need a set of the inlane plastics and wonder how much

Check out what Motobone just made for me to cover up the ugly metal guides. I had the decal that went over the metal but I felt it just looked cheap. I can't wait for the new plastics to arrive. It's going to be a great touch to such an amazing game. THANK YOU Matt!!!!!

Moto, THANK YOU so much. They look great on the game. I think they look twice as good in person than in the picture and they fit perfect. You may want to add one more diamond at the far left but I still love it without.

I have a buddy that makes these. They look amazing in person

The flow and combo shots with right flipper, then left.

I just joined the club for the second time. I noticed when I hit the ramp a few times the diverter comes down and feeds the left inlane. When it stays down the coil hums, I assume this isn’t normal? What can be done? I didn’t remember my last one doing this. Also is there an adjustment that can be made where it comes down? It seems like my last machine, I’d need to hit the left ramp about 5 plus times before it’d cone down and now I believe it’s around 3

How long does the diverter stay down?

Thank you!

What's up Congo club, I'm pinging the community because my friend (first time pinball owner) just snagged a congo and I'm looking for some help. My questions are below:
1) Does anyone happen to have a used, but fully-intact jump ramp they'd be willing to sell for a good deal? This machine is actually missing the jump ramp entirely! I've tried adjusting the deflector to better control how/where the ball drops after exiting, but I'd love to put the jump ramp back in there. I know they are sold new for $80, but my buddy is on a budget.

I just joined the club for the 2nd time. I didn’t notice in the ad that mine was missing the ramp until I got it home. The owner had a custom made wire form that did the same thing as the ramp. I’ll be getting the ramp to I’d sell the wire form. Hit me up if interested and I can shoot you pics

My new machine is missing the jump ramp (center ramp). Whomever had it before me added a wire form mounted to the 2-way deflector. I'm going to be adding the jump ramp back but my machine is missing the post that the ramp connects to. I couldn't find the exact part in the manual. It looks like there's 2 post that screws into the playfield. Does anyone know what these parts are?

Looking at pictures they are just hex post. Could someone measure the height of both post and confirm they are hex post

Thank you

I have about 10 backback clip connectors that need replaced...Do I need to get them with, or without the diode?
