Most likely pc. You live in a large city, look up coaters in your area and get a drop off and pick-up quote. For those parts I'd guess $200-$250. If you do go local tell them NOT to wrap them up cuz you want to inspect the quality when you pick the up and don't forget to get the 4 leg adjusters coated too.

Having more than one pin really helps the stress factor when problems show up. You don't feel like you have to jump on every issue right away and not be in a rush to fix. Enjoyment factor goes way up.

I have 2 rottendog boards in my Congo. I did have issues with one of them but rottendog fixed it for free even though I had no idea when it was installed. Game works great now. I recommend sending your original board out to get fixed. Having the original board helps the resell and you can always sell either board down the road.

Well dang, I guess times have changed... nonetheless, if you do want the board serviced after you buy the new one, he does great work.

No I don't, I don't do vid but it looks really cool. The strip is on the back side inside the ramp not facing you so you don't see the strip just the glow of the red light inside the ramp. It looks similar to the last picture which is my Met Pro. But of course the ramp on Getaway is going sideways so you won't see it quite like that.

classy lineup.

MustangPaul , does the strip light up when the ball is in the sc? Would be neat to me if that was the case. Sure it looks cool anyway. Also, I dig those red and blue pop caps. How do those look? What bulbs did you put under them? I'm just thinking of starting an easy mod first before getting any deeper, and the pop caps is where I plan to start, with the gauges a little later.

I understand, and respect your position... Just me trying to save the world again, one pin at a time.

Thanks! Cant forget the "Lawlor Zone"! Who needs a guest-room anyway??

Awesome collection! BTW, just look at all the storage space you've created under the pins (or are those sub-woofers)?

What? Are you still using a flip-phone or something? Man, you are retro!

I heard the answer earlier, but just double checking. Will these fit? http://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/545-5035-22

EDIT: I just got an answer from Marco. They say no, they will not fit. Bummer. Like this grooved lens type look.

I was wondering how I was gonna break it to my wife that we needed another pin. "Honey, this one's broke, so I need another one so we don't have to stop playing."

MustangPaul, I'd love to come over and see your Getaway! Maybe I could use my Samsung phone and shoot a vid of the red lights in the super charger and get it here? You might be able to sell me some of those lighted legs too. I'll pm my phone number.

Thanks Mr T. Yes, they are powder coated. My guy does great work. Mine were done in two stages. First the red, and then a clear to make them pop. They turned out amazing. The cost was $160.00 Canadian for the legs, rails, and lockdown bar. I didnt do the leg adjusters ot the leg bolts as i wanted them to stay chrome to offset the red.

You've inspired me to maybe take a run at trying my hand at red vinyl wrap, as it should be fairly easy and inexpensive. While not as awesome as powder coating, would give me an alternative to tracking down someone and negotiating a price since I don't have a "guy" like you do.

Whoa, that's brave . . . he might just lock you in his dungeon!

I guess you could try wrapping in vinyl but not sure how it would look. Certainly doable on the rails and legs but will need relief cuts to do the lockdown bar. If you decide to go with vinyl and have any questions i should be able to answer them as that is what i do for a living. im a professional vinyl applicator. almost 30 years in the biz.
In saying that, If you wanted to powder coat im sure there are many good affordable guys in you neck of the woods. The best way to find one in your area is to go to a few car mod forums and ask there. They like getting their trim, rims etc done and usually know the best guys. Thats how i found "my guy" .

Found this thread after seeing your red trim, and thought I might give it a whirl. This seems like a job I could do well enough without hurting anything and a nice rainy weekend project. If I like the look well enough in person and it doesn't hold up (or if I suck at wrapping vinyl), then I might consider taking the next step and having it coated.

Thanks bro, those are just storage totes full of parts, restoration supplies, tools, etc.
Under the machines is a great place to keep them, otherwise its just a huge waste of space.

Oups I should have told you, yes it is hooked up to the first flasher, the one on the left of the 3. The pop caps are the Jewel caps with Comets ring lights, red and blue top leds with white bottom leds. Pinballlife or Marco sells the caps. I think the color mix of the caps and lights reflected in the front of the chrome sc looks great.

You got it man. I don't text or any other of that other crap, I don't have ANY use for that shit. Texting will only get you a ticket or kill you.

Cool thread. Make sure you have a heat gun. You will need it. Feel free to pm me during the process if i can be of any help .

Waste of space??? Does this look like wasted space? With the bl carpet lit up it looks like the games are floating.

Looks awesome Paul !!!

I think i might try wrapping my F14 metal in yellow just to see how it looks before deciding if i should powder coat. I can get the vinyl for free and i can do it with my eyes closed so i think im going to give it a whirl .

Thanks Stang, looks awesome, brings me back to the good old days but I feel like I just ate some shrooms...

Yeah baby !! lol

Show us how it's done. Have no idea when I might do mine, so would love it if you were trailblazer. My main concern at this point is how to do the legs well.

Ok, ill find some vinyl and try to walk you guys through it. Us Getaway owners have to stick together ! lol Ill see if my daughter can do a video of me doing it as im useless with tech (still use a blackberry ! lol

Super cool. Looks like a 90's pinball arcade in the Playboy mansion!

Hey thanks, I wish you could come see it and play.

That's why I built my gr like I did. You were a BAAAAD boy too.

I thought someone on here said that Data East pop covers would fit. This is what I was looking for. Looks like tail lights to me.

Hmmmm that sounds interesting.

Hahahaha, I still use a flip phone.

Now that's funny. Thanks.

EDIT #2. Got another email from Marco. He retracted his first statement. He thought I was referring to the deep caps. He said yes they will fit.
EDIT #3. Getting a fuse kit as spare parts. Anything else come to mind I should keep on hand. Want to save on shipping.

Yeah... I was going to say

Didn't seem right to me either, but I thought the screw holes were closer is why he said no. I hope these look good. I want them to work cause to me they look like tail lights, to go with teh theme. Now need to get some bulbs for behind them. Not sure there either but will look at Comet.

Just a standard wedge bulb in the pops, I used red frosted twin smd, which work well with the reflective properties of my caps. You should buy several types so you can play around with different looks, like warm white twin smd...

For sure try their Crystal Fan bulbs, they look great under any cap.

You an always go BriteCaps (just buy the color lights you want, not the caps): http://www.pinballlife.com/index.php?p=product&id=3624

So i flooded my F14 Tomcat lockdown bar in yellow vinyl. Took about 10 mins and turned out perfect. Looks pretty cool. Ill do the rails and legs and then decide if i want to powder coat like i did with my Getaway. If i decide i dont like it ill try another color. You will notice that i wrapped it around the backside a bit just to keep it from pulling up.

My daughter wasnt around tonight to do a video but if anyone wants to give it a shot (Mr T ? ) ill help you through it. Ill still try to do a video at some point on another bar.

Okay, that looks great! Yes, a video would be helpful for certain things such as corners and how to correctly use heat gun with material. Particularly interested in how to do legs, as I think they would be the most challenging.

Finally, would love to see picks of your work when back on the pin.

P.S. I just ordered my red carbon fiber wrap.

That looks perfect. Your a real pro.

That's real sharp SUPERBEE . I bet all your cars have cool pinstriping and graphics.

Easy for you, mine would be a train wreck.

Anyone local to me want to get in on a group buy for the lit speaker panel? So far there are 3 of us.

I can't find this answer. Are the flashers in the back box #906 wedge, or #555 wedge? I see 5 of them. On mine, 3 were replaced with 5 smd red towers, but 2 were left as incandescent flashers (the 2 in the center together behind the police cars. I want to change the incandescent ones out, and maybe even the tower ones out too to something forward flashing. I'm getting help from Comet, (but they aren't familiar with the game), but thought I would put a call out here as well. Thanks.

EDIT: I believe they are 12 volt #906 wedge flashers. And if so, I think I'll replace the 5 smd towers (http://www.cometpinball.com/product-p/4s-1s.htm), and put in the more appropriate 8 smd (http://www.cometpinball.com/product-p/8smdflash.htm)

Does this mean I'm running 6.3 volt flashers in a 12 volt flasher circuit? That can't be right.
