Hey all. I just picked up my first pin ever and High Speed was it. Play field is in great shape but does have one chip on one pop cover and the front art needs to be redone but beyond that it’s a beaut. Already read through much of the comments. Looking forward to more.

I have a few items I need to clean up on my machines but I put in a super simple but nice little modification last night. I missed out on those cool clear ramps but this helps dress up the back area of play field and covers up that exposed steel area. Doesn’t obstruct the ball viewing much either on those orbits.

There were several vendors I saw but I got it though this Amazon seller. Super easy and a nice upgrade for the minimal effort. High Speed Pinball Sign Mod https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083LFMDMC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_J9K1TWCQCCT4Q6ER2VWR

I am going to work on a 3D printed stop sign mod that affixes to the front of the base light. Doing the the 3D render now.

I’m redoing the sides of the topper side art and I need a dimension of the circular Williams logo as mine was completely gone. Can someone give me a measurement of the diameter of the yellow portion edge to edge?

Perfect. Thank you!

Ugh. Why would someone do this?! My recent purchase had painted (textured!) on the top sides and front. Sanded it down and the original art still looked good! We’ll get her looking good again.

I’m not paining yet. Just was sanding a bit. Going to strip next.

A few weeks ago I showed some sad pictures of how someone painted over the front and upper sides of my newly purchased High Speed with a grey textured (like 80 grit sandpaper) paint. I did my best to restore my machine to its original look. Not perfect but a major improvement. Now to get this one into the house.

Oh I also added this little guy to the launch ramp.

Added a coupon of Oklahoma Highway branded patrol cars for a little local flavor. Helps fill in a couple of dead areas on the play field.

Now it has me considering altering all the highway stickers to local highways….

Ok I spent an hour or so working these up. Will pop them on the machine later. I can send you my file if you want edit the highways yourself or I could mock up some for you if you give me a few points of interest/highways you would like to highlight. I’m out of sticker paper but I could print and mail to you later if you don’t have a printer.

I was going to use the “exit only” sign as my hide out spinner.

Ok I got them on. Super happy with how it turned out for the low energy it took to make. I’ll upload my word file to goolge and share it for anyone who wants a template.

Here's a link to the word file containing the spinner signs template. I also have an added signed above the jet bumpers that most won't have, just delete those two if you don't want them, or simply add them to that metal part for extra goodness. I was able to find vector images for each interstate image by just typing the interstate name and "vector" into google search.

If you are having trouble just shoot me a PM and I can help make a set for you.

Here’s the .word version of the signs template https://docs.google.com/document/d/11sl0MxsI0Qy0UeZQuBYAzMdRVDXm4mHK/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=100176328463503481081&rtpof=true&sd=true

That looks incredible with the red ramp AND the red rails. Fantastic work.

Big thank you to Ghengisgord and Langless28 for helping with the 3D stoplight file. I was able to get it printed. Looks like it was there from the beginning.

That is arakissun who sells the police light mod. I bought a set from them and they work great. He only has a couple left for sale.

As for the police cars I just bought a set of scale 1/64 cars off Amazon of the style I liked.

Wow, that's an overhaul! Thanks for saving a classic, hope you enjoy it.

Are my displays starting to go or is this a symptom of something else. Only the upper two display issues and it’s somewhat intermittent. The top right one is the worst. I swapped the ribbon cables around with no major change but I do have a new one on the way as that’s cheap and easy to check off. Board looks ok.

The board and batteries don’t have any corrosion. Batteries are also new as of a couple of months ago. The top right screen comes and goes on some of those letters.

Also try putting on those clear plastic washers on that corner and use a plastic nut to hold them on. I just did that because of the same issue.

I would agree with your opinion. I enjoy High Speed more than The Getaway.

I put LEDs in my machine but I purposely kept the original flasher bulbs because I didn't want to mess with that.

On the ball shooter, I had this issue when I just changed the rubber tip. The spring was still just as strong but the rubber part wasn't compressed enough so I suppose it absorbed too much. I really had to push it on for the ball to be making good contact, after the adjustment it works great now.

Mine sometimes misses the diverters on the ramp, so this also sometimes leads to only two ball multiball.

Sure looks like it. What a great idea. I'd imagine you need at least a 3" band like this:

Same, my wife likes it over most modern tables.

1) I have the exact same issue. I tried to troubleshoot swapping cables with not change. Mine does it intermittently and comes and goes. I assume there’s a pin not getting a good connection on that display board/screen.
2) I’m assuming your right flipper lead switch is making contact, needs slight adjustment.
3)I 3D printed one that matches the playfield theme. I can send the 3D file (which previous pinsiders emailed me) or you can buy an original replacement off Marco for just a few bucks.
4) I put LEDs only in the under the playfield lights. All above tables are original. Really helps the jewel lights pop but still has the warm feel of the original table.
5) those ramps are nice. Run about $120 but note if you send it in to have the switches swapped you will be without a ramp for a couple weeks.

Side note, I made a template and posted it a few pages back if you want to make your own local Freeway Stickers for your spinners. Kinda fun to make it your own.

Enjoy it.

Nice work on those updates! Keep these classics looking clean.

Added two small LED strips (warm tone) to my game today. One in the ball drain and one under the overpass. Made a big difference.

I used the Comet LED strips. For high speed I would recommend either "Warm White" if you have mostly incandescent or or "Sunlight" if you have a few LEDS in to match the color of the rest of the lights. I used the 4" lengths for these spots.

Looks nice. It’s lit so well it almost looks like a photo from a VR version or something.

I'd agree that 4MM is a "good" score. Really anytime I get multimillion I feel pretty good about my results.

Freeplay40 is selling replacement ramps. He can do black, clear or red.
