Didn't see the price. How much shipped to US?

For crying out loud, post a price in your for sale thread.

i thought all marketplace listings had to have a price?

Yes, they do. According to the pinside rules your price (and any applicable shipping) must be listed clearly. I will PM the OP.

Great great mod ! It looks fabulous and the laser pointer is not a gadget, it'll really help you ! Well done Yoyokopter !

I received and installed my crossbow yesterday and it's a great mod, easy to install, great quality, great price, and quite useful, it's a must-have mod for TWD, shipped from France and arrived in about a week

This mod is absolutely awesome. The fit and scale are perfect so it doesn't look like a mod.

Few installation tips from my experience:

- Run the cross bow test after installing and before putting the apron back on to make sure the wires are not binding or rubbing on anything, and that the bow can return all the way to its home positon

- Install some shrink tube in the same area that Stern did for the coil wires to prevent the new wires from rubbing on the metal frame.

-When I first ran the cross bow test it was not making contact with switch 50 (home position). The new bow was preventing it from going all the way back by a 1/16" or less. I had to push the new bow over to the right some and play around with the screw at the pivot point in the Stern mechanism to let it return fully. Sounds more complicated than it was.

-I used some museum wax to hold the cross bow wires tight to the coil (last picture)

The bow is an expensive toy and for less than $100 this really adds the finishing touch. Hopefully now Lyman will add some new code to make it more a part of the game.

And if the laser feels like cheating you can always disconnect it, but I'll cut myself a break since it looks so cool.

It was a little short of making the switch. May have just been the way my crossbow was assembled by Stern. It was an easy fix.

I've installed this mod on my pin. The crossbow fits perfectly on the shooter arm. While sliding it onto the arm, I couldn't help but think a whole lot of thought went into designing it. There was plenty of wire left over to connect the wires to the relay. When testing it as mentioned earlier, the laser is angled perfectly to point in the middle of the bicycle girls head. The directions emailed to me are excellent. I'm very happy I bought this mod.

great looking mod, congrats

Just installed. Laser is straight, accurate, Xbow looks like a freakin' crossbow now! Great work!

I got it as well and the bow looks pretty cool. Installation was done in 7 minutes but I had the same problem with the home switch. The left bow corner is touching the apron very slightly but that seems to be the reason that the home position switch will not close. But easy to fix in few seconds. Laser is looking awesome and is really good to see

Thanks for the great mod

Does the laser only light up when the crossbow is active?

Cool. I put myself on the waitlist last night.

That's weird. I could have sworn I went to someone's site and put myself on a waitlist. Was that for a different crossbow mod? Do you have a link to your site?

Oops! Never mind. It wasn't a crossbow mod at all. The waitlist was for a GI controller for DE games. I gotta stop smoking so much crack ...

Looks great yoyokopter. I placed a link for our German friends to it.

Thanks for your support. And btw. Let us know about your outlane mod

Got it and installed it a couple of weeks ago. The xbow construct was a little high and didn't fit with the glass on it. Sanded the top a bit and now it works perfectly. Other than that the installation went smoothly and the mod works perfectly without any flaws at all. Thanks for a beautiful mod! The laser doesn't actually help that much (if anything at all), but it's a really cool effect!

I also ordered the xbow mod from Mezel so I will compare them when it arrives.

I installed the mod on my game and it was coming up short of closing the switch but with a little adjustment it now works great
Thank you

Installed the mod today, great product. Thanks, yoyokopter

Yes I had to adjust the roller switch a little to activate sooner but apart from that all good. Easy to install and works a treat! Thanks yokokopter!

this product is awesome, very well priced also

I finally got around to installing mine tonight. What an amazing mod! The thing looks positively awesome! Shame on Stern for not including something like this on such an expensive game. I can't believe how little room yoyokopter had to work with when designing this thing. Unfortunately, I'm having a bit of trouble getting mine to consistently close all the way. I'll think I have it tweaked, but then after a couple times, the crossbow refuses to return home. I'm too tired tonight to play with it any longer. When I get a chance tomorrow I'll take another look at it.

I had the same problem but adjusted the little roller switch that the crossbow hits for the home position. I adjusted the switch outwards a little and now the crossbow activates the switch and stays in position.

Had the switch issue as well, but a little adjustment and it's fine. Excellent mod. Very well made and works great. Fast shipping too. Thank you.

I don't think it's the switch. The first thing I tried was bending the actuator out a little. I think something may be rubbing somewhere, or the wires may be binding. I was really tired at the time, so I couldn't focus very well. I do know that when I put back on the glass it slightly rubbed against the mod. This could be part of the problem.

I just did some experimenting. The problem only occurs when the glass is on. If the glass is off, it works perfectly every time. The glass is obviously slightly pressing down on the top of the crossbow. I'm not sure how to fix this, since the highest point on the crossbow is the metal arrow. It's not like I can file it down. Any suggestions?

Problem solved!!!

After racking my brain for a couple days, I finally came up with a solution to the crossbow hitting the glass problem. I figured I couldn't move the glass, and there really wasn't any leeway with the crossbow itself, so my only option was to somehow lower the playfield. I ended up inserting two washers beneath each playfield hanger bracket. This lowered the playfield just enough to allow the crossbow to move freely back and forth. The mod is now working flawlessly!

Nice solution! Damn the variability in these natural materials and hand made items!
