Does anyone have Pinstadium hooked up to their Congo? I would love to see some pictures of it if you do. Thanks.

As some of you know, www.pinball.center/en/ (a German company) carries many of the plastics for Congo that are hard to obtain anywhere else. But for whatever reason, they do not ship to the U.S.

A pinsider in the UK, Pinhead1982, is willing to place an order for me and then ship them to me in the U.S. Please let me know in the next day or two if you would also like to order any of the plastics.

Quoted from Yesh23:

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

Pinball.center sells the set of inlane plastics for 22.90 Euros (about $26). They can ship in 2-3 days to Pinhead1982 for 15 Euros (about $17), and we could split that shipping cost. We would then need to each pay Pinhead1982 to send them to the US. I am not sure of that cost.

I would appreciate any wisdom anyone can share, here. I was having zero problems before I unscrewed the volcano to clean underneath it. But since putting it all back together, every single time a solid shot enters the volcano ramp, the ball falls off the habitrail to the right before connecting to the plastic ramp. But when a ball is released from the volcano or a shot softly makes it around the volcano, it has no problem staying on course. I cannot figure out what change I might have made to cause this, but it’s driving me nuts. My best guess is that the ball is banging too hard off the metal railing on that left side, but I don’t see how to change that. Thank you.

After reading this entire thread, it looks like I should put some adhesive felt along the protector to try to slow the ball down.

Quoted from Wickerman2:

Maybe just how tight/not tight you have the screws for the trail? Any washers missing or in wrong place. If I understand what you are saying I think somewhere in this thread this has been addressed. Search "habitrail" in the find in topic box at top and see what others have done--hopefully a solution is hidden here somewhere. Good luck.

Thanks for the response. I still have no idea what caused the physical change, but I ended up putting an adhesive felt strip where the ball hits the metal side when it whips around the volcano, and it solved the problem 100%. And the felt is not visible when playing the game.

I have one last set of inlane plastics I can sell to a pinsider for $40, shipped in US. I ordered a couple extra sets in case anyone else was wanting them. $40 is a lot, but it was my cost to have them shipped from Germany to the UK, and then to Texas.
PM if interested. The plastics are new and have the plastic peel covering still on them. Here is a pic of mine installed on my Congo.

Edit: Looks like they are now sold.
