We are proud to introduce our latest mod

The lighthouse from JAWS, this lighthouse is modeled after the actual one from the filming location in Martha's Vinyard.

This highly detailed model is airbrushed and has hand painted details/weathering and sealed with UV clear.

This awesome piece also uses sterns rgb pcb board to interact with game modes ...with no modes running the lighthouse stays lit white, but once the the modes begin the lighthouse changes colors....."FEEDING FRENZY" the lighthouse turns red, "SCARS" the lighthouse turns yellow, "NIGHT SWIM" the lighthouse turns green... basically what ever stern codes into the game in the future the lighthouse will interact accordingly.

First batches will go out early April

Price will be 185.00

Quoted from Pinball-Cruiser:

Awesome, how about for the Premium/LE owners, I don't want to give up my barrel sculpt and there's a spot light in that location as well.

You lose about 1 1/2 inches in height down towards that spot light, so I'd have to reduce the whole lighthouse down, which imo make it look kinda outta place and then trying to fit the spotlight inside could be an issue

#8 64 days ago
Quoted from Cento:

Is there a waiting list?

Yes just comment below that you'd like to be on the list and we'll add you in

#9 64 days ago
Quoted from badfish981:

Isn’t the barrel sculpt on the pro as well?

Yes it's the same on all 3 versions, the premium/Le have a sculpt on the pop bumper cap also

#11 64 days ago
Quoted from Pinball-Cruiser:

So I'm guessing your mod requires the barrel to be unscrewed from the plastic? I believe I saw that how it is attached when I installed my Titans. Perhaps the spotlight could be moved elsewhere on the Prem-LE versions, although, this is already one of the brightest Stern games in my collection. Could probably also find a place to put the other barrel as well.

Pretty sure they use theat spotlight to light the middle of the playfield down low since there's not much in the middle, moving it could darken that area a bunch, the barrel is attached with 2 small screws

#15 64 days ago
Quoted from Pinball-Cruiser:

Put me on the list for my LE. I'm only putting a few high quality mods in my Jaws and you always deliver.

Added

#20 64 days ago
Quoted from fooflighter:

Wish I could do it but don't want to lose the barrel and spot on my Premium. Great looking mod though

You will lose a barrel but the spot light can be relocated to behind the lighthouse. The Pro doesn't have the spotlight that's why it's not shown. You probably could just move the barrel somewhere else.

#32 64 days ago
Quoted from toaster777:

Any thoughts where the barrel could be relocated too? Also the airball plastic is lost as well correct? I guess the furthest post at the top of the playfield is just empty there. Any thoughts on a mod that could go there to replace just the post?

I'm still working out the airball guard, I'm probably going to include a new piece back there to prevent suck balls

#41 63 days ago

The spotlight for premium/le owners will attach where the second (middle) post for the airball deflector is right behind the lighthouse.

#55 63 days ago
Quoted from iceman44:

Add me to the list of course. LE

I got you, still working on that 007 tower also, should be soon

#60 63 days ago
Quoted from toaster777:

I don't want to lose a barrel but the lighthouse goes so perfect in that location - better than the barrel in my opinion - so I'm going for it. Still waiting on my premium so don't know where I can move the barrel to but I'm hoping there's somewhere. Worst case I'll already have a barrel on the pop bumper. My concern was losing the spotlight on the premium but you can still keep that.

I'll have a barrel solution I'm sure by the time the lighthouses are ready to ship.

#64 62 days ago

We should have a list compiled and posted by the weekend

#68 62 days ago
Quoted from Mutt:

I'm assuming we'll find a perfect spot for the barrel ( or maybe youll even make a mount for it ) so put me on the list for a LE. Thanks

I'll mostly include a relocation mount

Quoted from Garrett:

He's gonna need a couple more 3D printers!

Ha, I have a fair amount already from all the godzilla stuff but I should able to squeeze this in

#79 61 days ago

It's almost like this cutout was supposed to have a barrel here... I think this will be the new mounting location

#80 61 days ago

And this is where the light post for prem/le owners will relocate to, they be a sleeve that slides over the post to allow it to also hold the airball deflector

The 'LIST' has been posted on the first page!

#93 59 days ago
Quoted from littlecammi:

Your lighthouse looks terrific! I don't have a Jaws pin. Where can I mount this on my Baywatch?

I can take a look, might be able to make a couple adjustments to make it work

#95 56 days ago

Quick update, new plastic airball guard has been designed and ordered. They should arrive by the weekend, we will also start production of the lighthouse itself this week sometime and hope to have some going out to owners next week sometime.

I'll post some photos this weekend with the lighthouse and airball guard installed

#97 54 days ago

New plastics have arrived

#100 51 days ago
Quoted from toaster777:

Would be awesome if you could have a seagull on that plastic like the original one.

I thought about it, but since the lighthouse blocks the plastic, you'd never see it

#104 50 days ago
Quoted from Mutt:

saw action in here & thought maybe they were being released

Here are some final images with ball guard of the pro and Prem/Le with the extra spotlight. We also added a nice felt bottom to protect your plastics. We just need to relocate the old barrel which we will do coming week and will begin invoicing next Friday so keep an eye out from them in your PM's

#128 25 days ago
Quoted from jjsrt8:

Hopefully not to late. Just saw install video for premium. I'm convinced now needed mod!
Can I be put on list?
Thanks

We will add you

#131 24 days ago
Quoted from Pinball-Cruiser:

Just finished installing Diddy's Lighthouse for my Jaws LE. All I can say is WOW! These folks know how to make a quality mod and provided a great step by step video to go with it.
I've provided some pictures to get those who've already ordered excited and convince others that you need this mod. A couple of my observations, I wish the lighthouse didn't obscure as much of the "No Swimming" sign on the LE art blades, but this game has very little real estate for these kinds of mods. Also, if you have plastic protectors, especially the thicker quality kind, be prepared to make a few modifications. The post screws for the right habitrail and the new spotlight location are quite short, with my plastic protectors there was no part of the screw protruding. I had to drill out the plastic protectors to allow the plastics to sit lower and cut down longer screws to use instead.
Lastly, if you have the Premium or LE, you'll need to relocate the barrel. There is a perfect spot for it just behind the top right spinner, but I'm certain that is where Stumblor is going to locate his soon to be released "Buoy of death" mod. I'll wait to find a new location eventually.
Again, great mod by @tiddy , can't wait to see what else you come up with.

Thanks for the kind words and great write up

#135 24 days ago
Quoted from beelzeboob:

Hey, Diddy! I asked to be put on the list 17 days ago (see above), but didn't get invoiced for it. (I need to get 2.) Checked the list and I'm not on it. Can you please put me on the list? Thanks!

We might have missed you, Jen will take a look at her list in a little bit and get back to you

#140 20 days ago
Quoted from Greenli2:

Can I get added to the list and invoiced as well? Premium model if there is a difference between the pros. Thanks

We will add you to the list and invoice you when your spot becomes available, but it shouldn't be too long

#142 20 days ago

The LIST has been updated and pasted to the original post. If you are curious as to where you are on the waitlist please check there. People who have received invoices have ** (2 asterisks) next to their names so check your inbox . The remaining names will be receiving their invoices over the next 2-3 weeks!

#146 18 days ago
Quoted from Gube637:

Just another satisfied customer testimony here. The light house looks great and the install was super easy thanks to diddy’s install tutorial on YouTube. This mod really adds to the game and it’s highly detailed, just like his other mods. I’m looking forward to diddy’s future jaws mods. Diddy, if you’re reading this, go ahead and put me on your reserve list on whatever is coming up next.

Thanks for the awesome feedback, it makes our day over here a little brighter. As for future stuff stay tuned, we have some more cool things in the works

#149 13 days ago

Next batch of invoices have been sent out

1 week later
#153 5 days ago

List is now closed ..... All invoices and last calls have been sent, the lighthouse will move to the shop in a few days.
