There's some guys on vp universe making their own for a fraction of the cost, maybe we could do the same?
http://vpuniverse.com/forums/topic/1669-shaker-motor-stern-and-others/
I know, I have at least 4 pins that I'd like shakers in, but $$$
Quoted from Jean-Luc-Picard:I would like to put in 8 shakers in my pins, if I could do it $100 a pop.
8 shakers in one pin!
Heck yeah!!!

I'm looking for a mustard Topper, I'll paint one no problem, Marco is out of them, any other sources?
Quoted from Jean-Luc-Picard:AUD is down right now. In some cases, you are better off buying parts from Australia. $1USD = $1.35AUD
Reminds me, when I lived in Sydney when $1USD was $2USD. It made them $60 cases of Tooheys New beer go down faster. lol
I just knew you were going to say that

removed pcb and replaced with neon tube tapped power off of the powerboard , then moved the flasher element to under the crane arm.2171661045_da6acb3ab2_m.jpg
Should we call this "dead underworld "?
Quoted from Jgaltr56:Also note to get the green glow effect I spray painted the inside with gray primer then scratched away where I wanted the green to show through. The towers are pretty translucent and light up like a lightbulb otherwise
I'd like to pursue this mod too, do you have any extra parts to sell?
Quoted from Jgaltr56:Thanks for the kind words!
I had to cut the decals into multiple parts and piece them back together on the tower to minimize wrinkling, they don't stretch very much at all. Also used Microset and Microsol solutions during application. Microset makes them stick better. Microsol softens them so you can push out wrinkles, etc
Here's a link to some more photos and a video

So cool, great job!
Quoted from cynric:Got them this week, installed em yesterday along with some replacement plastics. Looks absolutely awesome! Some of them are a little tight to fit in there because the red acryl is thicker than the clear one, esp the subway cover with the small rail. The few GI bulbs under the plastics are enough to make everything glow orange nicely.
Highly recommended!
Pics?!?

Quoted from cynric:Here you go. Didn't have the camera with me, so just some bad cell phone pics. But you get the idea..

It hasn't been very long, but I am hard-core missing Judge Dredd from my collection, why don't earth did you guys let me sell it, lol
Quoted from tamoore:It's the only game I've ever wanted to buy back.. and I did. Go get it!
I'm working out a deal right now to get it back... Bye bye sharkeys shootout
Quoted from o-din:This is not your momma's pin!
losangeles.craigslist.org link
Only $1!?! Yes
Quoted from StormyX73:Now when is the Deadworld mod patch coming out?
Dude no kidding
Quoted from PinRob:Now that's pretty sweet.
Ditto... Is there a comic book picture for reference?
1 week later
does anyone have an extra, nice plastic that the Nuke towers rivet to? Mine is broken in several places
Quoted from aeonblack:Might as well post this here! I created a new soundtrack for JD using the PinSound board, you can check it out here:
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/pinsound-card-reviews-anyone/page/13#post-2885057
That's so awesome , I'll put it in mine as soon as you perfect it, I don't have a pin sound board, but I'll get one when its time

Quoted from Volgon:Just bought Judge Dredd on Friday. The housemates and I played it non-stop...48 hours later the flippers were almost black.
After a detailed cleaning, I noticed one of the ramps screws was not seated all the way. Yikes! Holy ball damage Batman! Fixed that and a couple of other minor things. Ramps are great and all four flippers are strong. Playfield is awesome, although, there is a minor ball-line groove on the left orbit.
The lower playfield is way too dark for where the machine lives (see picture). Maybe two spot lights is what it needs?
The 6-ball multiball is awesome, but this must wreck havoc on the balls. How often do your balls need replacing?
Is there supposed to be a black rubber bumper on the left post (see other picture, lower middle, naked post)?
This is my third machine, but first keeper.
Thank you,
Volgon

Yes there's supposed to be rubber there
Quoted from Tsskinne:I have no problem entering initials on my JD, is it perhaps a software issue if you are running a version that has the issue.
I have an issue with the high score initial screen, the previous owner set the scores so high I cannot access the initial screen, lol
Quoted from o-din:I thought I sent you the Tron?
That's definitely true... I finally crushed it during lunch the other day (tron)
Quoted from wizard_mode:This looks awesome. Is this a mod kit that can be purchased?
Go back several pages in this thread, a fellow posted a how to
Quoted from ArseFez:I'm about to pick up a JD and pretty damn excited!
Aside from the dead world motor are there any other problem spots to look out for when buying one?
you might want to clear your schedule, you're going to develop a problem of trying to stop playing, screw pop bumpers... who needs them!
It's definitely not like any thing else, constant attempts at flow, no popbumpers to randomize the ball
Sometimes I challenge myself to just keep the ball on the upper half of the playfield doing loops with the upper left flipper and the upper right flipper
Defeating the tank... Best dots ever
Quoted from ziz:I like the feel of hitting the sniper tower the best, especially the two shots on the sniper mode. It's such a long shot, and the ball just hits it so solidly, then the way the vuk pops it up into the wireframe, such a rewarding feel to the shot. I enjoy a lot of the modes, they each have their own feel with unique graphics, music, and gameplay ideas, and there are so many of them. The main focus is to keep hitting the lit crime scenes to collect extra balls, so I like how it constantly dictates which shots you need to hit to keep that going. Once you really get good at it you can have really long games where it feels like you can hit every shot, and the shots all link together really nicely. It's awesome, you'll love it!

Quoted from StormyX73:I have mirror blades on mine and they really do add a bit of extra light to a dark game.
Good call
Quoted from wizard_mode:I have the same issue. Im going to get some of that metal strip material with holes pre punched. You can cut to length and bend it. I think it will work just fine...
Good idea, I have some of that, I'll give it a whirl
Quoted from pinchamp:My JD has arrived in Calgary from Phoenix yesterday. Have not seen the game in person and have never played it before. I will give my first thoughts and review here once I get it. I hope it is a keeper! Can't wait to get my mystery pin...
Given you're current lineup, I believe you will like it.

Quoted from BENETNATH:No, i'm planning to make a 3d mesh from pictures, not to scan directly.
I don't have another JD owner close so i'm asking there.
Dont you Mind to help me ?
Hate to say it... But the eagle topper is fairly complicated... I had to just pony up and buy a yellow one and paint it gold and clear coat it.
Maybe you could go the route I was going to go... There's a JD gun model on eBay it's awesome, put a pistol rack on the head, and put the gun on it... Bad ass one of a kind topper
Quoted from Butch2099:Where did you find a topper? They pop up rarely & then gone instantly
PPS had them a few months ago
Quoted from BENETNATH:indeed, strange.
basically, it's the yellow-mustard one, from planetarypinball..
don't know if it worth the cost
I bought that one and painted it gold and clear coated it, turned out ok, just like I wanted it at least, its not chrome gold, but it blends nice
Quoted from Lemank:Does anybody know what kind of bulb this is? The ones with the blue base.

Looks like a frosted 44/47 blue led
You can get them from several pinball led sources
Quoted from Schabs81:Ill post when done.
What system are you using to accomplish that?

Quoted from Lemank:I love my dredd. I hope it never leaves my collection
Mine left, then it came back 6 months later, had a guy practically beg me to sell it to him a week ago. I wouldn't budge, JD feels like a rite of passage in the hobby.

Quoted from altan:Anyone build/make their own topper mount for the topper that isn't "filled"?
I went to Home Depot just now and they didn't have any L brackets that would fit. At least none that I found.
In a perfect world I'd like a L-bracket that has a small "base" and a taller other side (vertical). And on this vertical aspect it would be nice if there was a slot running down the middle so I could put a screw anywhere. The ones I found that 1 or 2 screw holes in fixed (and wrong) places.
If I had a drill press I could easily fix that...
You could get some metal strapping that has holes pre drilled... I use that strapping for stuff all the time

Quoted from aeonblack:I have no idea when it started, but my ball crane no longer picks up balls (at all, not even a little). Anyone have any ideas on what I should be checking out?
Do you mean the arm doesn't move?
Or that the magnet does not engage to pick up the ball?

I really like cointakers retro warm led for the gi and frosted warm for backbox, they give the incandescent glow with out blinding my eyes, then I color up areas that I feel need it, kits are too expensive and take the personality out of the choices
Quoted from PPS:Yes, pretty sure we have a set of JD aluminum ramp tools. We will be digging them out next week. There is alot of stuff still to dig thru with all the IPB stuff, so we are finally able to start getting to the stuff in the back.

That's great news!

Quoted from JediPimp:Thanks Mancave ill give it a go. I tried ordering another right plastic test it with but I couldn't find one with the cooling towers already on!
I assume you also drilled the holes into back of the cooling towers as well?
Do your self a favor and create some brackets that will hold the towers, don't drill the towers.
Look back in the thread and follow the example, you'll be glad you did

Quoted from bigballa81:just ordered the bracket from Marco to mount my eagle topper. What is involved with installing this - do you need a power drill? Does it come with instructions? Just trying to prepare myself. Thanks!
The holes should be there already from the factory, you may need bolts and some screws, grab that stuff from the hardware store when you have all your parts

Quoted from gunstarhero:Unfortunately no.
I'm sure if I called them something could be arranged but that's a lot of PITA for a barely visible plastic.
apparently there is some kind of forwarding service can use???

Quoted from nipper2u:Where did you get these mods from?
Thanks again!
He most likely made them, they’re not on the market

Quoted from PinRob:Depends. Story goes that they were originally going to be shiny gold from the factory but to save costs they went with the Matte mustard gold color. I prefer the shiny gold topper to the matte one.
I got an official repro from PPS a while back. It was mustard yellow, I bought metallic gold spray paint and sprayed it, let it sit a few days and cleared it. It looks great, not chrome gold, but nice and shiny

Quoted from Devilsmuse:I might make my design available for sale once I redo the towers in Fusion360 to make a few more design changes to make it more user friendly. I don't plan on having anything for at least a few weeks though.[quoted image][quoted image]
Awesome towers! Possible to change that red to bright Green?

Quoted from prowlerman99:OK Dredd Heads,, While going through stuff today I found a small pcb, says its' a Sound Activated LED Board for JD Topper. Have any of you ever heard of or seen one before? I have not had a JD for years so no idea where it came from. It's home made but looks to be well done.
Thanks,
[quoted image]
We need to know more about this for sure! I’m guessing it takes sound signal and sends it to lights for the topper that no one has installed
Quoted from Shredso:Isn't it just a plastic ring? I wonder if it could be 3d printed? I can burn the ROM myself.
Dude, 3D printing is not the ticket for this
Quoted from Shredso:It looks simple enough you could probably cut it out of lexan and drill some holes.
I'm pretty sure there is translucent filament for 3D printers as well. I'm sure it wouldn't look as good as the Pinbits one, but if there is no other option, why not?
I bet it’s laser cut.
Anyone have the dimensions? Or a schematic for the large Dead world plastic?

Quoted from clempo:I joined the club a week ago. My machine worked fine for a week, but now it continuously launches balls. It's never ending. It's like the machine thinks the drain shield is enabled and we are in 6 ball multiball. I turn off the machine, turn it back on, choose regulation play (NOT supergame), then it starts doing this immediately. Any idea what could cause this?
Opto board on the trough, usually the culprit, may be that the wire connector came loose
