here is an animated gif for what its worth. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/7t5opj5liq2duz9/AADZBnJpHE6S955k8-2rq6rpa?dl=0

I will take that as a compliment. Thanks! Honestly, it takes the edge off the flasher bulbs and really lights up the entire playfield. Kind of reminds me of gettin pulled over, lol...

Welcome and congratulations! My Dredd took some tweaking to get it like I wanted it but I love it now. I didn't have much luck finding plastics state-side at a decent price. Little Shop of Games had some (https://littleshopofgames.com/product/judge-dredd-sling-shot-plastics/). Marcos had some (http://www.marcospecialties.com/control/keywordsearch?SEARCH_STRING=dredd+plastic) but their inventory seems to fluctuate. And you can check Pinbits for the Deadworld mod and protectors (http://www.pinbits.com). Others may have better resources but I hope that helps.

Good luck!

Wow - that looks nice! Thanks for the pics and gif.

BTW - is that a Dragon on your playfield?

That would be Judge Death shoulder guard.

Judge death install in process. Reflector in lower right will be connected to "Death" flasher insert for effect! 12v 555 bulb on order!

Hey all, having an intermittent issue with ball launch. Every third or forth ball the game thinks that the ball has already been launched (it plays the motorcycle sound effect). The coil never fires and the roll over switch in the shooter lane seems to not know that a ball is sitting on it. Pressing the launch ball button just switches between game modes. I'm guessing the roll over switch is going bad but the thing that bothers me is that the game never goes into ball search. Even if the switch is bad and the game thinks the ball has already been launched shouldn't it try to find the ball after no other switches are activated for a long time? Has anyone had a similar issue to this one? Hopefully replacing the switch will do the trick but it seems like something else might be going on here. Thanks in advance!

Go into switch edge test and check out the shooter lane switch and the trough switches.

Are you using the deadworld mod?

Getting my new dredd tuned up this weekend

20180209_234417 (resized).jpg

I did the switch test. Switch is working perfectly. I am not using the dead world mod. Seems like it must be a game logic issue???

I always like seeing how others have personalized their Dredd. Did you paint your rails blue? If so, what process did you use?

The previous owner powder coated them blue. It think It fits the art great they had also powder coated the trim to match the apron. Almost finished shopping it out can't wait!!

Very nice dredd with no fading that I can see ,someone put some work into it with that matching armor,that game would look even better with the cooling tower mod ,if fact all dredds look better with the mod.

Where would one find out more about this "cooling tower mode"? Thanks!

Look at back posts. If you need help with items let me know. ( on my phone so not easy to give links)

Here's a better pic

One of the towers is a bit hot but I think it will hold and not melt down ha ha,really only had two bulbs the same and the third was a little brighter ,sorry I did not tell you more about the mod but I only remember that the towers are from Marco and they are the towers from Simpsons,I am sure you can fine the details on here,a bit of work but well worth it.

Sniper Tower and Dead world mods. I love them both! They really add to the game.

Great mod!! Nice job. I love mine.

This is what the individual pieces look like. It looks very cool together. Was considering using mine for the topper with leds lighting it but decided to go with the eagle instead

Just seeing these now. Always thrilled to see positive feedback on my mods, and I appreciate the recommendation Thank you.

Replaced the beat up pursuit plastics and decals with PB Life parts - added some rubber "handmade" washers from a post rubber (front and back) to protect a little from future cracking from vibration. Parts from PBL fit perfectly

Has anyone installed pinstadium ligh ts in dredd? If so how well does it fit when you need to raise the playfield?

I have them installed with GI and UV options and I love them. The fit is tight but it works fine. So much brighter and vivid. If you have any mods I recommend having Scott include the external power supply up front. I trigger GI off of a front sling light and the flasher off of the Deadworld flasher. I have a post with connector info in pinstadium forum if you are interested in more detail.

I would like to see that post, I ordered mine, but have yet to install it, and I didn't get an external psu, wondering if I should.

Sure thing - see post 1349 of pinstadium forum:.
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/new-pin-stadium-lights-official-announcement/page/27.

FYI - Scott is an awesome seller and very responsive.

Very helpful, thanks!

Quick question, do you have the side decals under the pinstadium mounting magnets as well or just the bare cabinet wall?

I have bare wall. The magnetic strip is self adhesive and sticks right below the glass channel. Personally I don't think having something there would be an issue unless you want to remove them later - ? The lights themselves have about a 1/4" overhang so that they don't shine into the eyes of the player. I have mirror blades on my AFMr LE and didn't think twice about mounting them on it.

Hope that helps.

Just added the topper and a green deadworld ring. Looks pretty badass

AWESOME! Looks good!

Lookin' good neighbor!!

Feels like we have dueling JDs here in Knoxville

Drewblood419 went with me to pick mine up ... he helped find it for me as well. Told me that I would love it - WOW was he right. I think it is awesome.

I am blown away that this game is not treasured by all and highly collectible. If you have any love for comics, it's an instant attraction. I've been reading some of the Dredd comics to get familiar with the theme - great stuff.

My JD had the orange ring installed in the Deadworld, so I took that all the way and had Pinbits make me the entire orange plastic protector set.

I also installed a Mezco limited edition Judge Dredd figure just behind the DW area - looks awesome

Got a Pinsound board ready to install right after I upgrade the backbox speakers

Wow! Would love to hear your input on the pinsound board once installed.

Anyone use the LED ghosting patch with the L1 ROM and still experience ghosting? I swapped the chip out and don't see any difference.

Ken I had the same problem even with the non ghosting rom installed, took me ages to figure it out , ended up removing j136 connector and all problems went away

image (resized).jpg

By doing this you are disabling something (or somethings) that are connected to lamp columns 7 and 8. But I expect you've realized that.

I looked at the schematic for more info but it, unfortunately, says nothing is connected to J136 --- which appears to be wrong.

Now I am curious. I just did a quick check of my wiring, and I don't have anything plugged into J136

Do a search here and you will find that it’s best to leave J136 unplugged on Dredd

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/judge-dredd-issues-with-lamp-matrix#post-3157828

Interesting.

I opened up by JD backbox and verified nothing connected to j136 — consistent with schematics. I was too quick to believe the schematics were wrong!

Also, there is no connector hanging around that could be put there.

Once I removed j136 I had no more weird lighting problems and the game past all tests ,

That on your pic is no crimp-connector. You've had something else plugged in there, feeding back into the lamp matrix via the paralleled plugs to the right.

As for ghosting: I've patched both L1AT and L7 and as far as I can remember although being much better, there still was a very slight ghosting visible. But not enough to be disturbing from a normal playing distance. My machine is not here, so I can't confirm this atm. But I can image this to be different if you are using extremely bright unfiltered LEDs..

My j136 is disconnected.
I recently added comet 2 smd greens to the meltdown and ball locks and they blink constantly as soon as you start a game. The crime scenes go a little bananas as well. so i added a led patched rom hoping it would fix it and it did nothing.

Cleaned and rebuilt the drops tonight. Ordered new targets, new springs and new decals. Also replaced the drop target reset plunger shaft and, of course, a new coil sleeve. I added a bright red target in the middle ... looks and works like a champ now! Here's a few pics

Notice the green circuit board section that someone had used to patch the 5 bank target stop wire guide/mount - thankfully, I had ordered one from PBSP.au

...and today I cut a custom piece of temporary mylar to cover the insert area near the slings. That area above Dredds head with the 4 large inserts is not perfectly smooth and I'm affraid over time the edges may get banged off. Waxed it first, then blue taped the mylar in place, then peeled backing and squeegeed down - and other than "not-as-shiny-as-the-rest" of the playfield, it looks perfect. Hard even to see in the image but if you look at the blue field above dredds head at the white stars (just below the mode inserts) you can see the horizontal edge going left to right

I've include my template as a JPEG but if anyone needs as a PDF, just PM me
