I've been making a few of these for people and someone suggested I start a new thread separately so here it is.
I am making these and selling them for $120 shipped in the us. If you are outside the us pm me and I can figure out shipping costs.

Pm me if you are interested. I have one ready to ship out now and two more will be ready in about a week. After that I will be getting in another batch of about 5 more.

The first one is sold, the other two will be ready in about a week.

#3 9 years ago

I have one left. I believe I will be getting more soon.

#6 9 years ago

My last one is spoken for but I have confirmed I have more on the way so I'll post how many once I receive them.

To answer the wiring question, I originally had mine wired to the gandalf insert, but there was too much ghosting so I now tell people to hook them to a GI bulb under the playfield and it works much better. No ghosting at all. I send them with alligator clips soldered on the end but if anyone wants you can cut them off and tie it in anyplace you want to. I just found that I wanted to make it as easy an install as possible.my original one has been on mine for months and I've never had any issues. I think it looks great when it's on.

#10 9 years ago
Quoted from beelzeboob:

Mine's plugged into the machine's power (I have a 1 to 8 splitter from Pinball Life), so Gandalf's staff is always on (like the Statue of Liberty!). It looks really cool during path of the dead modes when he's illuminated by the staff on an otherwise dark PF.
Mike does GREAT work, and I would highly recommend this mod!

I use the alligator clips to make it easier to connect, but if anybody has a specific type of plug let me know and I can try and accommodate.
And thanks for the kind words Randy

#12 9 years ago

I would be happy to use this connector if anybody wants, I will have to order some though. Let me know when ordering if you want this style connector and what length wire you need.
Thanks for the heads up

I have one of my original prototypes up for sale. The head of the staff has an extra hole drilled out in the back and the staff was broken in two places. It looks perfect when in the game , but i will sell it at a discounted price of $95 shipped. First to pm me will get it. image-243.jpgimage-243.jpgimage-520.jpgimage-520.jpgimage-569.jpgimage-569.jpgimage-333.jpgimage-333.jpgimage-238.jpgimage-238.jpgimage-273.jpgimage-273.jpgimage-964.jpgimage-964.jpg

I have two more complete gandalf ready for sale and also have a discounted one that had a broken and repaired staff. The new ones are $120 shipped in the us and the other is $95 shipped. It looks perfect from over 12" away but I can't sell it for full price.

#21 9 years ago

I have a batch of staffs only that I am making up. I've been real busy with kids sports but should have them finished in about a week or so. I have been selling them for $50 shipped. They are all set to glue into gandalfs hand and come with alligator clips to hook to a GI bulb under the playfield.here are som pics from the last batch.

I just want to let those who are on the list for a staff mod, I have not been able to do much on them the last few weeks, my son made the all star baseball team and we have had tournaments Friday thru Monday for the last few weeks. I will have them finished within a few weeks. Sorry for any delays.
All the staffs are spoken for as of now( I have all Pm's to those who wanted them)I'm not sure I'll be making these at least for a while as I have been very busy with work and kids sports.
I have two full gandalf figures that are done and ready to ship if anybody wants

Glad you like it, looks great.

I have two full gandalfs still left. I don't think I'll be making anymore of these or the staffs for a while. Life is too busy lately. Also have a full gandalf with a staff that was broken and repaired that I'll let go cheap. cant see it from 12" away, $90 shipped on that one $120 shipped on the others. US shipping, if you are outside the us let me know and I'll check the rates.

#41 9 years ago

Thanks. It really is a great addition to the game, especially when it's really dark in the room and the game is cycling through lighting sequences and it is one of the few things lit up.

I have a gandalf ready to ship and also a stock staff ready to go.

Once the wire is fed through the playfield and connected the extra can just be zip tied to an existing wire run for stability. That is usually enough to take any weight off the wire.

#57 8 years ago

No, these are with the same figures that came with the game originally. The name escapes me now. They are attack on middle earth series.

#62 8 years ago

#64 8 years ago

Have a full Gandalf and two factory staffs ready to ship. These are the real staffs that came with Gandalf not the homemade ones.
Gandalf is $110 shipped, staffs are $50 shipped

#68 8 years ago

Mine are the real staffs that came with the figure that I modify, those are a stick with glue at the top with an led in it. I made those before as well but found that the original staff looked better. Not saying those are bad just not stock.
If you want to save the $20 it is probably a decent substitute.
