Are these going to be upgraded versions (same art/look) of the factory stern playfield items?

The general takeaway we strive for is that the mod looks like it belongs in the game and is better than the original.

On most of those items it doesn't seem like you need to license anything unless you put a logo on there.

We will be making both types. We have a full time mod business and we pursue all aspects of how we can get mods to our customers. Our partnership with other modders is really cool for them and us.

Can you make the colored captive ball a 6 pack instead of the 4 pack so people can change the front captive ball to as its just a regular pinball.

It's a newton ball no? If it is, that means it's screwed onto the pf

If it works like the one on Metallica it is just a normal pinball sandwiched between a plate and that metal loop.
I would be in for a set of 6 as well (4 green and 2 pink)

Someone needs to come up with a large illuminated slimer for an LE topper. That Ecto light bar isn't going to cut it on that mean green machine! Something like a "Killroy" pose where the head, hands and shoulders are coming up over the top.

The front Newton ball has a post in it. You can only do 4.

The front newton ball shouldn't have a post in it. They don't in metallica.

Why would stern change there design for ghostbusters?

If you look close in this picture you can see the base screws into the playfeild not the ball.

I will take a closer look at it next week on the machine. I was in the middle of doing stuff on the game in Texas and Kristin wrecked it when she almost cut her finger off.

Probably and I will make this interactive so it will strobe when the Slimer moves.

You may have tried it already and have a reason not to, but I'd try to bring the EL wire up closer to slimer. You also may want to consider using more than one color and intertwining rather than just circling one color around and around. These may all be things you already played around with, but just thoughts.

Maybe twist several strands together and have two or three strands run length-wise (top and both sides)? Make it look like the actual streams (Don't cross!!!) Similar to the Whiplash whips?
