I just put a deposit down on a DM and will be joining the club soon. I was hoping to find a restored PF for it. I thought I would check here as often times folks pick up a PF and then never get around to doing the swap or end up selling machine, etc.

Wow, nice work! That looks great.

I'll be picking up my DM next week. My friend insists that the first order of business will be flipper and pop rebuilds as well as a shop out. I've been thinking of doing some Titan bands on the game. Anybody done these? What color scheme did you use? Got pics?

Thanks for the input guys. I'm looking forward to picking this one up.

You definitely want to go with a self powered amp. Anything that isn't self powered will be just as lacking in oomph as what you have.

Thanks for the Titan tips guys. I am torn between glow in the dark or clear. Now I must also decide clear star posts or blue....

Hi Friends,

I did not take quite the detailed pics that I thought I did when moving my machine. I have a blue and white lead with a manufacture tag of IJ104, however I wrote IJ105 on the connector. I remember having a similar issue with my BSD where the manufacture tag was wrong and I was correct.

Can anyone tell me what they have in those two locations? Thanks in advance.

Thanks! I have the manual, but...after Rollergames I have decided not to put my trust in them. Turns out they are a parallel circuit so either is correct.

There is only one mirror blades company. They do not sell Demo Man specific blades. Their WPC blades are easy to modify to fit a DM.

I don't, I had read about the problems here and reached out to the company and asked them. They weren't aware of the deiscrepencies. They recommended drilling out the original hole a bit more. I hadn't realized measurements were that off that they modification wouldn't be covered by the hardware.

It might be worth taking a picture and sending it to them. Maybe they could send you a set that was not drilled out. I planned on ordering a set when I finish with my restoration.

Has anyone purchased the repro plastics from PPS, how is the artwork? Is it true to the original?

Thanks, it sounds like they just scanned these and didn't bother to vectorize and fix the art. This is what I was afraid of. *sigh*

Anybody have any interest in a NOS Cleared PF? I picked this up when I grabbed my game for $750. Sadly I did not notice some slight inserts raise. One looks like a hairline crack the other looks like decal lines. The perfectionist in me can't install it as is knowing that it can be fixed and I don't have the skills or the fund to repair. It doesn't appear the clear is cracked, it is just cosmetic. One could repair, or simply glue the inserts in place and leave as it.

I plan on posting in the market place tomorrow, but wanted to give other DM owners here first crack. Aside form the freeze inserts the PF is STUNNING.

I am hoping to get the $750 that I paid for it back

Nice pickup. It's such a great game. I just picked up my second last weekend. Hoping to tear into it xmas.

What allsportdvd said, these are regularly, or at least were before people caught on, found on ebay for about $7 a car.

I am about to shop out the filthy beast that I picked up. Does anyone have a plastic set that they would want to sell?

I have a new set of plastic en route. They should be here in the next few days. If it has the key fob, I'll let you know, though given shipping to the AU it may just cost $100

That part number is not coming up anywhere. I would take the one out of the right side, measure and head down to your local hardware store. My guess is you'll find one close enough. You can always check the big williams books that they have posted on PPS, it may be there under a diff part number.

Here is what Bay Area is showing. Out of stock, but it provides different numbers for you. If it's just the gold leaf, that looks pretty standard.

2. I'll look at mine tomorrow, IIRC these are just run of the mill security screws. Remove one, measure, and call fastenal.

3. I got my DM decals here. Solid, for the price. They and PPS had a pissing match so the Williams stuff is off their site https://www.retrorefurbs.com

I don't think it's all that unique though. If it's just the brass leaf switch, measure and then either head to your local hardware store, compare size to other available leaf switches or make your own using the other you have as a trace. I am sure the steel sheeting that is used for ramps flaps and is easily had is a fine alternative for time being.

Since you have the part number call Steve at Pinball resource. Tell him you have this DM, this is the part number, but you can't find it anywhere. If you give him the measurements he maybe able to source an alternative. If I wasn't elbow deep in full shops on my DM and SST I would take my handle apart and look for you.

Just drop him a line. He's pretty good at responding.

I just installed new plastic so I should have a spare. I'm not sure of the condition though. Do you still need the promo as well?

This is what my spare looks like. I didn't try cleaning the underside as I am not very successful with that. It's not great, but it's free. Though being in Australia, you are looking at $9.08 in shipping.

Lordy those look amazing. Mike did the best work RIP.

Where did you get those buttons and triggers?

Whatever someone will pay for it.

I thought about doing some kind of LED strip. there, but got really behind on my tear down (was trying to finish for a party) and had to rush it back together).

Nice, I picked up a similar kind of project a couple of months ago. My buddy had it in his basement sans a glass while he did renovations. I must have vacuumed 15 gallons of drywall dust from it.

So far: New lock down bar, glass, NOS plastics, cars, titans, comets...It was also missing some ribbon cables and boards. Once I financially recover from getting it up and running I plan on sending the handles out and maybe doing new cabinet decals. I love bringing these things back from the dead.

I just grabbed a four pack of the blue LED halo buttons. They were $20 shipped for the four. If anyone wants to buy the other pair, I'd sell them for the $10 and like $2 shipping and supplies.

Mine is in tact, but repaired. I would be happy to send him it. Easy enough to see how it goes.

Somewhere in this subject there is. I haven't had any time to install mine yet or even think about it.

I picked up a couple of friends for Demolition Man! I was worried he was lonely being the only futuristic cop in my lineup.

GreenMachine19 I love what yo've done so far. That machine looks so clean and slick.

Nice work! I sent mine off to Mantis two weeks ago. I'm hoping this is something he can fab.

When I wanted a set I placed an ad on the marketplace here and Mr Pin and got several replies. I bought an NOS set. If you go that route soak them in warm water first I had some ink peel

Comet, and I used a mixture of both frosted and non depending on location.

Ugh, that looks risky. I picked up a DM from a friend recently for $1500, just needed a lock bar, glass and driver board....well it was also missing mini driver, crane motor, ribbon cables, subway, broken plastics galore, and had a bunch poached off. I think I am close to $2400 in now. Sometimes it's not worth the risk.

A while back I shipped Kerry at Mantis my mangled subway chute thing. Last week, I got the prototype in the mail and I am beyond excited. It is flawless, and better than the original. Initial testing shows it's a drop in replacement with no playability issues. I am still testing it out, and hoping to play the heck out of it this week to test its durability. I think we may finally have an aftermarket product available.

I'm not sure, you should drop Kerry a line and ask [email protected]

Looks like my Demo Man isn't quite finished. I wonder what the quality is like.

If anyone's looking I just very begrudgingly listed my DM for sale

https://pinside.com/pinball/market/classifieds/ad/83152

I have some leftover used plastics from my DM shop out and restoration. Not great, but may be one or two in there that are better than what you have. Totes free, just pay shipping to whomever can use them. I would prefer that you take them all.
