I'm in! Just picked her up Saturday.
When should I expect my members only jacket to arrive?

Have a few games under the belt just learning what to do. What is the ZINJ all about?

So I have to drain one down the right side to light the J?

Ah, ok. I'll have to pay attention to that.

(I'm new to this whole pinball thing.)

I installed three out of the four cliffy's. Not sure where this last one goes?

Thanks.

All cliffy's installed. Thanks for the help.

I got midnight madness and super multi ball in the same game last night. First time for both.

I had 125 or so diamonds that game. Kinda blew it on ball 3 and only scored 1.6b
I think I heard a call out for super jp, but not sure how I got it.? My Nyquil was kicking in. It's all a haze.

What is the best way to apply those vinyl blade skins? Can you just lift up the entire playfield and stick them on or do you have to remove a bunch of stuff?

Did you take the backbox bolt out or apply it over top of it?

What is the best way to install the vinyl side blades? Do you just lift up the playfield? I figure it would be easiest to remove the playfield, but I'm not sure how to get it off.

Installed some side art today...

Probably about as many palm trees as there are talking apes.

Any details on the shaker motor?

I see the STNG shaker is sold out. Is that the only one compatible?

Beat my GC score twice this week!

I was thinking that this game would be great with an external sub. Does anyone have one installed? Looking for some guidance on what/where to purchase and how to install.

(still trying to track down a STTNG shaker)

I have one of the Bose woofers laying around unused. Do you think that would work decently or get something with a bit more punch?

I just ordered the Polk sub. Should be here tomorrow.

Hooked up the sub. That thing booms with the pop bumpers.

The volcano jackpot shot during multiball should be worth 2x the left ramp. No........10x!

Anyone one know where a STTNG shaker motor can be had? Pinbits has been out of stock for a while.

I'll check to see which plastics I have as well.

Here are the plastics I have...

Shaker came in today!!

STTNG

Played me some Congo last night. I get some incredibly wonky ball roll from that lower playfield cover. Sometimes it'll completely change direction and drain SDTM. Can be frustrating as hell. Does that drive anyone else batty?

Hmm. I thought it was pretty flush. It rolls over the edges perfectly smooth. It will just come across that plastic and throw knuckle balls at me.

The window. Mine appears to be in great shape. Sometimes if the ball rolls over it slowly, it'll change direction. Maybe I shouldn't wax it?

Just got my new high score. Only 2.3bills.
( I don't think I've ever hit the volcano shot for a jackpot. )

I choked and blanked on the skill fire that game.

Who has the best price on replacement windows for the lower playfield?

Just replaced the window with a new one. The old one was slightly warped. It's crazy how much better it plays now. I've been cranking out volcano shots like crazy. Not a cheap part but it was worth it. Congo is fun again!

Epic Congo game. Just destroyed my high score. Super multiball twice and think I got everything reward. Plus 248 diamonds .
So glad I put that new window in!

I've been tossing around the idea of selling my Congo. I've gotten too good at it ever since I put the new bottom gorilla plexi cover on. Couple reasons holding me back: I'm afraid that I would miss it and it's rock solid and in absolute perfect condition.

Yeah. Gofers isn't going anywhere. I'd sell TOM first, but my cousin put up a GC score that I am determined to beat.

I think he should just take your word and not watch that movie again.

Is there a pic of what that $40 mod actually consists of?

Did I miss the clues?

Is there a vid that shows the difference between LED/LCD?

I have my color dmd's set to the smooth setting instead of dots. Can't remember what it is called. So, I guess I should just stick to the usual if that is my preference?

Anyone install the color dmd yet?

Turned all my pins on this weekend and poor Congo was looking out of place being the only one with an orange dmd. Color will be arriving later this week.

The whole lineup now in color.

Volcano shaker motor.

Shaker, Color DMD, Subwoofer. Maybe some side blades. That's about all I added.

What's a flame bulb?

Neat. Thanks!

Which style and how many would be used for the volcano? It's been so long since I needed to lift my playfield, I can't remember what's under there.

Was just about to beat my gc score. Had extra ball lit on left loop. Ball comes out of the pops to the left flipper. I decide to just let it bounce off and over to the right so I can grab the extra ball and instead of bouncing it just dead drops and drains. Game over. Aaagggghhhh.
