Doctor Who
Bally, 1992Quoted from Ozzy:Hello to all the Dr Who owners here. Recently found a beautiful example, no fade, shopped, leds, solid 9.0 maybe even 9.5. Any thoughts on price for this pin in beautiful condition. No errors, everything works the way it should. Thanks

Actually, I would say the no fade on the cabinet would increase the value as they are hard to find. Assuming a nice play field, I would say 3500
Quoted from Boof-Ed:I was asked by a member to post a picture of the permanent markers used to make my doctor who respectable until I re-decaled it.
The brand is pilot. V super color refillable
Hope it helps.
No need to re-decal it anymore!
Quoted from bpull:...Frisket film, tweeding, then air brushing...
Quoted from Bumper:Looks good on the picture, but what is tweeding?
Opps, actually should say weedong. When you lay down the Frisket paper, you razor blade around the letters, then remove the areas you want painted. The removal process is called weeding.

Digression...
Dr who is ripe for a newer pinball. It's more popular than it ever was. And what a show.
I would seriously consider a new dr who. The show is exceptional. Now. Always was good.
I bet licensing would fall into place too. The actors seem to like being in dr who.
Quoted from sulli10:has anyone put in a pin sound board on a DR Who? Results?
Several posts talk about this in this very thread.

Quoted from bpull:Did some repainting of the front of my machine yesterday. About 4 hours of work. Frisket film, tweeding, then air brushing. It's not perfect but sure looks better.
Brian
looks good but you didn't finished
Quoted from sulli10:has anyone put in a pin sound board on a DR Who? Results?
I highly recommend it. There are some great music mixes put together by fellow Pinsiders of different styles.

I have to buy like 5 or 6 pinsound boards plus about 10 color dmd’s. Ugh this hobby 
.
In the meantime , I hooked up an external sub woofer to DW. If you have not done this yet, I highly recommend as well. I have been disappointed at times when I have hooked up an external sub woofer to some of my other games but not this one. The sonic booms are really magnified and a real rush. I must admit DW is a game I wish I had bought a long time ago. I think the WHO shots are 3 of the best combo shots in pinball. I am going to rate this game pretty high. An excellent 2 to 3K game.
Quoted from ClarkKent:Can somebody make photos of the blue ramp decals on the upper left side? Do they have any color gradient or is it solid blue with red borders?
There is a slight gradient on the decal, hopefully it's visible in the picture. Sorry it's not a bit better, but I'm in the middle of about six annoying things that made it a bit difficult to arrange a decent shot at the moment.
Many thanx! As far as I can see it the color gradient is simply from light blue to dark. Correct? Is the darker blue facing the backboard?
Can you give me measurements?
Would be the best of you could clean it and scan it.

17 inces long, 1.125 inches wide. Yes light to dark. I can try cleaning it a bit, but I don't have a good enough scanner. I've tried emailing the company who sells the ramps several times to see if they would sell me the stickers, no one has ever answered them.

Thank you!
What do you mean by not good enough scanner? Do you have any? If yes, just try to scan it and let me see the result...
Otherwise please make good photos from straight above without flash light at daylight so that I can see that better.

It won't fit my scanner, but I can scan it twice. PM me your email and I'll send the file over once I scan it.

I do not....
Check the playfield angle and the height of the posts (make sure they are the correct ones).
Lastly, if that's all good, try a smaller band. It will pull the rubber tighter which should make it harder for the ball to catch.
That red band looks pretty thick like it's not stretched well.

It seems that some of the newer bands are thicker than the originals. I've never had a ball stuck where you show but have had it hang up on the rubber at the post because of the thicker ring. Going to install some yellow superbands instead the next time I shop the machine.
Does anybody have 3d objects files (for Blender, Cinema4D, etc.) for Doctor Who? A dalek, cyberman, davros, tardis console, weeping angle, who car, etc. would be really nice. Doesn't need to be very highres, I do not 3d print that.
Quoted from FatPanda:Anyone have any issues with ball hangups by the pop bumpers going into the video mode hole?
Yeah I had that problem. I just looked at what I did. I put a smaller band on there that spans 3 posts? Then I put another even smaller band that fit for the 2 posts.
Quoted from pinball_faz:Check out Swinks creations:
https://www.shapeways.com/product/4RMBTZ62X/whomobile-pinball-mod-1-40-enclosed?optionId=57879806&li=marketplace
Lots of options of the whomobile and he's always creating.

Thanx for the info - but I'm only looking for the meshes and not the finished product...
Quoted from TechnicalSteam:Any ideas on obtaining a plastic set?
Make a wtb post and be prepared to shell out a lot of dough, it won't be cheap.

check out pinball search - great site for finding things and give a $1 if you find something to help the guy out

I assume you are referring to the Pinsound Modern, Metal, Disco and Doctorin' the Tardis mixes? Actually, I made all four of those. 
Anyone interested in these battery adaptors for a single 1/2 AA lithium battery. Get rid of the Alcaline leakable batteries and just plug this adapter into your 3AA battery holder with a 1/2 AA lithium battery instead.
$10 a piece
$12 shipping (up to 5 adapter sets).
Cheers

I would have to look to see if I have anything smaller. I put whatever was in there originally, and they're pretty taut but could probably go 1/4 inch smaller.

I just started using the Energizer Lithium AA batteries in the holder on the board. Friends that use them say they last a long time and haven't heard of them leaking although I think just about any battery can leak. On the one older game which doesn't use the date/time I just went NVRAM.
Anyone installed a color DMD LED board in this game?
I am getting ready to tackle this project and need to know if it is small enough to allow the original light strip to stay in place to light up the doctors on the speaker panel.
I know the LCD is to large to allow this.

From everything I have read the LED version is the same size as the original DMD so it just bolts in place. None of the hacks that the LCD version requires are needed so it is easily reversible. At some point I will upgrade my machine and will get the LED version.

Thanks.
Much appreciated.
now if only they could do something about the VGA-grade graphics and make a hi-res DMD, I'd consider getting one... the color DMDs just make them look like old Tandy computers
