Here is a scan and touched up scan of the lower playfield sides I got from my friend.

I just got the first set of these 3D inlane guides from Brock over at pinballcustoms.com and I think they look amazing.

Here are some other pics to give you an idea of the fit and finish.

Yikes wickerman2! What does the inside of your cab look like? With the bracket incorrectly mounted and sticking out that much must have gouged the wood whenever you lift and lower the playfield.

Also I had a few people sending me PMs asking where I got the inlane plastics posted above. If you are interested you can check them out here along with flash instinct's target decals too.

My machine was used to test fit Brock's 3-D inlane sculpts and they look amazing in person. Also they really are much better then stone cold steel

I have hassanchop's congo decals in my game. The original hand drawn artwork flows with the existing playfield artwork.

You can send him a PM here and I got these when he was running a special at the time for $60usd shipped too.

I did some lighting additions and upgrades to my Congo last night.

Thanks! There is another spotlight just below the upper left flipper and I played few games first before wiring it up to make sure it didn't obstruct the view. I was still able setup and to slam the ball into the volcano consistently. I like mods but if they interfere with game play then I don't go ahead with it. I normally prefer to add one over each slingshot for symmetry but couldn't because of the wire form coming from the ramp. I used optimax warm white in the spot lights and in the inlanes by the flipper area.

Then under the slingshots I used these dual flex head leds. I aim one up to light up the plastic and the other sideways towards the middle between the slings.

For the ball trough drain area I add this 3 led strip

The GI I used these twin leds in frosted warm white

The setup I have above is pretty much standard for all my WPC games and you can check my thread here to see the difference in my other games.

I have a high resolution file of these decals I found via google years ago if someone wants to print their own.

Congrats and welcome to the club.

I bought these Fire effect led bulbs from Comet but haven't gotten around to wiring up a socket for it under my volcano.

Here is a video someone posted on youtube

Is your flame bulb the #555 wedge style? I went with #47 bayonet so it should not fall out easily.

Make sure you install the new and improved mantis volcano scoop if you ever install this NOS volcano ramp in your game.

I've had My Congo for over 7 years and love it still to this day. It would be one of the last pins to go if push came to shove and I had to downsize my collection.
