Quoted from javagrind888:Well, honestly holding out because the other options don't really fit what I've done with my machine.
no worries, just don't want you to miss out on something else

Quoted from tasman:Does any one have the lighted flippers and if so how do you like them
I just ordered them, will post my review once they arrive and I play a few games on them.

Quoted from tasman:Does any one have the lighted flippers and if so how do you like them
I have them on my Star Wars and I think they are pretty cool. I'm thinking about which others I may want them on now.

I tried the green and the purple. I like the purple better I think. Now there’s pink ones. But I do like them, play the same for sure. Takes some doing to thread the wires but not too difficult. They use the matrix connections, so I might get a dimmer, though I will say they are not overly bright - especially the purples. But again, I do like them. I put the green in my RFM, and it looks great next to the saucers!

These are nice and affordable. One for the ramp and one for the end of the shooter lane.

Like that containment unit mod, have one coming for my game and lighted purple flippers. Gonna be a unique experience at 1st to try.

He is opening up a shop to sell them, not sure if it’s up yet.
Quoted from delt31:where do you get these?
cool translite and would be a touch cooler with a second glass behind the logo with a blue or green haze and has a fade across effect with some edge lighting
Quoted from Stagio:Just joined the club.
Like any good game for myself, hated the 1st 100 balls but exponentially growing on me now.
Might have to bolt this one down here soon!
Cheers. [quoted image]
Welcome! Awesome game, slime yourself and never look back. Parking a Godzilla next to it in a few weeks. What a combo the 2 will be. Love 'em or hate. Lol

Thumbs up. Keeping a close eye on Godzilla. Enjoy as I have heard many good things!
Quoted from oradke:I disagree. Bought that one. Very poor quality, decals were falling off, plastics were skewed and loose. Way overpriced. Returned it.
Funny, I have this one as well and have never been blown away by it. The character cutouts are constantly falling over, the decals are peeling... Its ok but it is overpriced for what it is.
A buddy of mine comes over who has machines and is blown away by the topper saying how cool it is and this and that.. I looked at him and said "that one? Really??".
Different strokes for different folks I guess haha.
Another question:
My right orbit seems rough and doesn't always go all the way around. Is there an adjustment for it?
Quoted from wolffcub:Goofing around with another mod prototype while the firehouses are printing.

when is your firehouse shipping? Just curious. Also - that fly ball protector looks great in green. Do you sell those too?

Now that is BOSS! But will it interact? I want that sucker to open up and close!
Quoted from eyeamred2u:Now that is BOSS! But will it interact? I want that sucker to open up and close!
I can easily make it open and close but the event (flashing) happens so fast when the switch is activated it would flash before it has a chance to open enough to notice.

6 of them are almost finished. Just finishing the interior details.

Yeah, that event does happen fast. Would be cool if it opened on game startup and close when a game ended.
Quoted from swinks:or opened in multiball modes when more thatn 2 balls leave the ball trough
Ding ding ding

STOP MAKING WORK FOR ME! LOL

Do you have a list of who is getting one and who is not? Other than users saying "count me in" or "+1" I haven't seen any confirmation on your end.
Thanks for the interest. I’m plugging away making them. I will be doing batches of six at a time as It works out best with how I have my printers set up.
I’m getting lots of pms requesting one. If you have not already done so please pm me and I will post up a list and where you are in the batch lineups in a day of two.
I’m not replying to Pms at the moment as I don’t want to get 100 different conversations going and then I lose track.
The ghost trap is also being redesigned to open and close during an event.

That's the thing with Ghostbusters. At first it drives you mad, such a drain monster. Then, gradually you get into it and understand what's safe and what's not safe, and it just grows on you.

My Ghostbusters Premium is the goto game for my kids etc. The thing that really changed it for us was the centre post mod. You don’t feel quite as ripped when your playing it. I really recommend it and when playing it doesn’t feel like an ‘add-on’ mod. Should have come from the factory pre-installed I reckon.

There are 2 things to do. In the outlanes the metal guiderails, you need to get them up. I used a hammer and screwdriver to get them up a bit from under the playfield. This drastically reduces the hopping towards the outlanes.
The other thing you can do is indeed the centerpost mod, personally I removed that and went with carrot flippers. These are a bit larger and add a super strong shot to your machine. Mine plays so well now, easy to get over a billion scores. One of the most fun games in my collection. And one of the few games in my collection where i reached the end game.

Are these the flippers that swinks created? or are they off the shelf flippers?

The guide rails I agree with. Apart from that as Terminator says: "play better".
I bought my game with carrot flippers. It messed with the shot geometry like crazy. The center post mod doesn't screw with your shots and helps just a bit with Scoleri brothers rebounds and Gozer to the middle rolls.
I agree with those who like the center post mod. It’s a fair trade off for the slightly wider gap. I installed one when I bought my GB in 2017 and it just helps enough with SDTM rebounds off the brothers or Slimer/ghost standup. With the ramp and rollover lane protectors, it’s a pretty fair game, I feel. Before I made those changes it was really frustrating.

Of the shelf

Not to expensive and easy to do, If you do not like it you can always go back. I think you have to figure out what is working for you. My shots are all ok, no geo issues. My high score is 5.4. bil. so the shots are all ok.

Thanks, Might have to experiment. Don't want to upset the household balance. I thought I saw swinks made a swap product, gonna have to do some searching...
Put in a few Mods:
LED Leg Light Ups from 
Mustang Paul
Slime sign and Slime along subway
Ecto-1 Car.
Pinmonk's light progression panels-a little tricky to install, need a heat gun to place a dab of glue to help them stay in position when placing them back into game.
