My second pin. I installed LED's through the entire machine and installed mirror blades. I also took the time to polish the playfield with the Treasure Cove kit. Still surprised I got the playfield back together with no extra parts! I also added under cab LED color changing lighting. Lastly I upgraded the rules. Actually I purchased the update before owned the pin! Lol...I was set on getting a DESW!
Quoted from MustangPaul:With having to lift the entire pf up then back to raise it up how are the blades holding up?
The blades are very tight but there is just enough clearance to prevent any scratches. I have lifted the playfield about four time since installing them and so far so good.
Quoted from MustangPaul:Really I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya.
I lifted the playfield this weekend to clean the cabinet and relocated the knocker and routine the pop bumpers.... no scratches!!
As for the knocker I moved it and its striking plate to the side of the cabinet. I am much more pleased with the volume of the knocker. LOUD!!!
Quoted from Pauz21:Just throwing an idea out there... has anyone ever tried to make a decal?
I did it with the upper playfield of a Grand Lizard and it took a while to create and was costly. But in the case of the Lizard I found very few high rez photos online of an actually good quality lizard so it was a lot of search and a lot of trial and error to get the size right.
The cabinet strikes me as much easier. Shouldn't be too hard to fine high rez images of a cabinet in great shape... and it's basically a rectangle so measurements should be easy.
Or would that be considered blasphamy to put a decal over the silk screen.
Mine cab is pretty bad. I would love a set of decals should anybody be able to make them.
Quoted from MustangPaul:Just got the word from Stu at CPR, they have the scans to do the plastics but licensing is holding it up.
Let's hope CPR can get this moving. A new set of plastics would make my machine complete!
Quoted from Astropin:Okay....need some member help.
I have an SW that needs a LOT of work. Right now I'm focusing on fixing under the playfield wiring issues (lot of wires not connected to anything).
This is my first SW so I really have no idea where the wires connect.
Can someone take some hi-res pictures of the underside (maybe break it up into 4-6 sections to get closeups) and send them to me? You would probably have to email them one at a time.
Please.......and thank you. I need to know if this puppy really works right before I dump more cash into it.
I can help you out with some nice high res pics. I'll try to get them after work tomorrow. PM me you email. I'll get you what you need.
Ugh! I would love to have that video mode on my machine! It looks easy but who cares. Changes up the pace a little. Heck, the video mode on STTNG is easy after learning the pattern. It's just nice to change things up a little.
Guys and Gals,
I'm looking for a little feedback on redoing my cab. It's beat. Faded...poorly touched up and just in poor shape. My dilemma is the color. I have a set of black decals and would paint the cab black. I am having second thoughts on this and wonder if I should stick with blue.
Thoughts anyone?
Thanks!
