Quoted from pinballinreno:I just installed mine today as well as the gate mod.
I have to say the Bag End mod was extremely well thought out and easy to install.
Its a beautiful model and fits perfectly with the over all look of the game.
I bought it from mezelmods.com.
The gate mod was so incredibly easy to install it took all of 2 mins to do it.
Ill report back on the modified gameplay. It looks really good.
I played a few games with the added ball gate last night.
Its pretty shocking as to how different the game play is with this slight addition.
The upper right flipper is used continuously now. I find myself adjusting strategy as to what to hit off from the upper left flipper pretty much all the time.
I was making shots that I forgot you could make!
My score didnt go up much but, a new excitement was brought into the game that I havent felt in years.
I did get a ball hang on the right corner under it that was quickly nudged out, but I might have it set too far to the right?

It went a little crooked after a few games but the gate swings freely for the most part.
Im going to pull it off and move it up maybe 3/32" and see if its better. Its just stuck on with clear VHB tape, I have plenty of that on hand.
This will be a permanent addition to my game for sure! But Im worried about long term durability
How long before I can get a steel part that I can rivet to the plastic? Im in if you want to make some up.
