I just bought bulk natural white from comet. Brings out the art, you can add a few color match inserts too.

Thanks for the response.

I bought both natural and sunlight 2SMD from comet. I’ll play around with to see what looks good. Natural white looks great on PinBot so I’m hoping for more of the same on GL.

Leaving the flashers incandescent as I don’t want to permanently change my machine.

I went mostly with Comet SMD 2’s. Warm on the PF surface, and natural below it. Flashers were basic Comet 12v offerings that matched the colors of the incandescents. The lighting is now brighter, but the LEDs don’t wash out the PF.

Need to replace the cracked stationary 'D' target disc.

Wondering which plastic colour will match? (If any)

I probably need to replace all the target faces on the bank. :-/

Anyone tell me the post part number for the mini post between the flippers? I assumed it was (Mini-post - wood screw 2A-3905) but now I worry the existing screw hole is a little tight and maybe it was a bolt with nut.

Grand Lizard Pinball Machine - $850 (Burke Va.)

Wow that’s a steal!

Legit. Someone got it.

Now is the perfect time to get these babies going. I've found that I've actually gotten a lot done with my collection, that I had put off, during this craziness.

Looking forward to the vid. I like to watch the Pinball Mayhem youtube stuff here and there. He's got some nice games.

I snagged this one, happy to be a part of the club! Game is in great shape all around. It's a keeper for a long while at least, did not buy it to flip. I didnt have any games pre 1990 so it's nice to diversify

Hopefully you got it at a good price.
Most times these things turn into an auction.
I texted them as soon as it got listed but they never responded .. great price on a great game. congratulations! Enjoy!

Thanks! Yep the guy was super nice, paid his asking price. It is resetting every few games but I'm sure I can sort that out.

Still dreaming about an original blue plastic set...

dreaming...

I hear you sir. I know a lot of folks dealing with the same staffing issues. We just gotta poke you every now and then on them proto plastics. We're waiting with cash for you (and PPS cut lol).

Did anything come of this? The guy I had looking into it is so busy, he hasn't had any time.

Nothing yet.

Is there any point in the game where the lizard ramp eyes light up (under the head at the top of the PF) and stay lit for around 10 to 15 seconds? They seem to flash quick flashes as they should during normal gameplay, but I haven't played this game enough to see this before. It was just those two flashers that lit up and they went off on their own after those few seconds. I just dont normally see flashers stay on for more than a quick flash.

Dont think so, they flash when you hear that monster growl when you lock a ball, but i cant recall them flashing for long moments

Hello!
Just joined the Grand Lizard Club and am picking up my game tomorrow (woohoo!). I found info on another site that claimed that the lizard in this game is an end boss from a video game. I have searched for more info and history on the pin, but am not having any success finding the answer. Does anyone know if this is true? And, if so, what game is it from and do you have any other info about it?

Right, I think this may have been a side effect from an MPU problem I am having.

Welcome to the club!
I don't think it's a video game reference.

If anyone does it’s you rusty!

Actually, the story is that the lizard is based off of the boss from Williams Inferno. Which, of course, Python also worked on. I can definitely see the resemblance.

Wow, there is definitely a resemblance, it seems likely that this could be the game that was referenced.

Thank you for the responses everyone!

GL guys. Question regarding the installation of the lizard head.

When I attach the lizard head to the ramp, the ball will become obstructed and not roll out on the tongue. It hits the front edge of the lizard head. Obviously I can add some spacers to raise the head a bit to provide better clearance, but from the pics I am seeing on-line, folks are not using spacers. They are just basically screw the head right to the ramp.

So how did it originally work when new? Is the ball supposed to completely clear the lizard head? Or was it supposed to slightly contact it on the way out? If I just simply screw the head to the ramp like in pics, a slow moving ball will get caught and not drop.

Thanks

My GL lizardhead have a couple of spacers on each screw, been there since i got the game so i let them be.

Left sling is locking on. Didn’t start troubleshooting yet. What are some things to look for that cause a coil to lock on?

Thanks for the reply. Would you mind sending me a pic? I just want to use the correct ones. Assuming its the black plastic ones.

Switch stuck closed, shorted diode on the coil, shorted transistor on the mpu. It will be in the special solenoid section because GL slings are not cpu controlled.

Well it seems I have lost the tall back-wall on GL. So now I need to make a new one.

Does the back-wall consist of two rectangular pieces of wood? Seems I recall there was a gap between the two. Also can someone please get me a measurement of the back-walls height. I pic would be awesome if someone has their PF out of the cabinet.

Thanks

No its regular metal ones, dont think they are original ones, i'll get ya a pic

Not sure if anyone noticed this thread,- https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/playfield-production-
but here is a guy who can make Grand Lizard Playfields!!!, he just needs the scanned art. Who has the art ready to go? I know someone did hardtops and the OG art was floating around wasn't it?
Let's get some playfiels made!! I know just about everyone is trashed up top, let's make this happen!
B

I second this! Who has a scan of the art that we can send over? Gotta make this happen.

Alternately, can the hardtop be scanned?
I assume this isn’t CPR and therefore has to be done on the DL? Even though it would be in PPS’ interest to have somebody make new playfields?

Maybe bombpop can help? They have/had a spare mostly populated playfield. We just did a Hardtop and they brought this over too in case we needed something.

Are these supposed to be printed at a certain percent?

Certain percent?

Some printers have settings for actual size or a percentage of the original size of the file. I wasn't sure if the file would have to be enlarged or shrunk in order for it to fit properly?

I didnt add that in the file? i usually add the sizes but i guess i forgot, but you can re-size it how you want, the file open source for all.

Just joined the club. Cabinet 9/10, Backglass 5/10, Playfield 9/10, mylar on the upper and lower playfields and except for some flash lamps, backbox lights and the kick slings not working, everything else is in order. It’s time to work out the bugs and get her cleaned up. The pre production backglass is tempting. It’s that or replace the the original art.

I’m looking for a Backglass if anyone has one. Thanks

They can make you an original or photo.

Same here- game I just picked up has no backglass whatsoever. Anyone buy a prototype and have the original lying around that they don't use? I'd much rather go that route than wait 3-6 months...

Well i can give you the translite files i made for mine, free of charge, but you have to get it printed yourself.

Any owners put a shaker in their lizard yet?
