I'm in.

And this should be the last of the pinballs for a while. I now need a tardis to fit them in my dining room.

For the weak flipper, you may not have to replace anything. I've had weak flippers resolved by just bending the switch leaf ever so gently to adjust the stroke slightly.

Enjoy the new pin!

Damn this game is hard. I finally have mine at 100% working, and I've been playing it for a couple days. The best score I got was ~100 mil... until just now. I finally had a game where I got the playfield scoring up to 2.5x in time for the jackpots, and cleared the video mode. Suddenly I'm in 800 mil territory. Scores like that will def be few and far between though, you really have to nail your shots consistently and in great number to build up the score. But good enough, it's like that 1 sweet shot you have in golf, after hacking around the entire course. And that one shot will bring you back again and again.

I feel like this pin is going to get a little more love than the others this weekend.

What's your strategy for scoring big? So far I choose doctor 6 to make it easier to multiply the scoring, then I try to raise the mini pf and go dalek hunting. A typical game for me is 4 mil to 40 mil, so I don't think it's working. What do you folks do?

How awesome would this be as toys / decoration under the PF glass?

MUST HAVE!!!

Has anyone installed LEDOCD in their DW?

I have trouble finding any useful information online about no-ghost patching, and they don't seem to sell ROMS with the patch for whatever reason.

Thanks for making these! I just doctored the TARDIS for a new PB of 1.35 billion. I was even dancing when I drained, instead of yelling m$%%$@#r at the machine.

Agree with Faz. That sounds like it will be an ongoing tech process, better to start a unique thread. Start by describing which connector that was plugged in wrong, how it was plugged in, and what other symptoms there are (does it still boot? How far does it get in the CPU diagnostics? Etc?)

I have one of those on my desk beside me right now

Yesterday I was leaving the parking lot at a building supply store, and someone pulled in beside me with the license plate "BADWOLF". He was pretty happy I recognized it as a Dr Who reference.

There's definitely 2 camps out there on LED, but why is it lame to upgrade the Dalek to the original intended design?

HOly crap, I am totally stealing this idea next year!!!

I just finished replacing my mini pf. Protectors will fit, but be warned it is not a "drop in replacement" as listed on Marco's website. You'll have to do a lot of work to make it happen. I'm sure there may be variance from one repro to the next, but my experience is:
- Repro Mini PF dimensions were a few mm off of the original (3mm ~ 1/8 inch)
- Location of tee nuts were off by a few mm from the original.
- The above two points meant I had to file (for a loooong time) the holes in the mounting bracket to be oblong, so I could slide the mounting bracket back by about 1/4".
- The through holes for the posts on either side of the target were not to size and had to be drilled out.
- The #6 tee nuts under the front edge of the PF were missing entirely. I was able to remove the ones from the old PF without damage by threading screws in from the top and tapping with a hammer.
- There is no dimpling for screw holes on top or bottom, to predrill for screws you might want to use long 8-32 screws to fix old mini pf above new mini pf and use it as a template. Make sure you don't drill deeper than you need / want.

The front door one. Mine has been in desperate need of painting for some time anyways, may as well make it a TARDIS.

Where the heck did you find a NOS PF???

Ooh! I think you've updated the Modern since I got my hands on it (maybe a year ago?). Sounds great! I keep Doctorin the Tardis on like 95% of the time.

If you mean just off the white ship's left side, there is no screw in mine either. If your ramp is loose, I'd check for stripped holes around screws and posts.

That's a really good copy! I had to make a bulk purchase of slings for like 15 games just to get my hands on NOS for my Doctor Who. What I had before were really poorly made home made ones.

Lower left, for sure. With one of the protectors from the top row. What the heck happened to the bottom right?

Something I've never figured out in all the years I've owned this game. Sometimes during multiball, all my doctors will get lit up. I never notice it happen. If I remember to watch for it, none ever light up, but sometimes I'll drain out and look up to see all 7 doctors are lit, but they go back to unlit with the next ball. What's lighting them up? Is it something to do with Davros?

If it's a matter of power, I'd say rebuild the flipper. Replace bushing, coil sleeve, maybe flipper bat (cracks in bats sap shot strength), and make sure the flipper shaft has 1/16-1/8" of vertical play.

If it's a matter of shot angle, my flipper almost but not quite rests on the metal guard behind it.

No problems spamming that ramp all day here.
