Quoted from pinostalgia:Looks bright,mine's dark.where did you get the cushioned target faces and the cheap ass homebrew stadium lighting?
I got the cushioned target faces off eBay. He has them for many machines. As for the cheapass lighting, there is a whole thread on this, with a lot of options. https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/poor-mans-stadium-lighting/page/5#post-4315568
If you do not need to have bluetooth/color changing capabilities, you can do this for under $25 a machine. 5v Warm white 3528 strips seem to work really well for me. On System 80B games, I tap into the 5v coming off the power supply in the backbox. I also use one of the mini plugs for this so I can remove the harness more easily.

Just got my mold finished for replacement Hollywood heat ramps. If anyone is interested in having one made, I will be selling them in clear, pink and turquoise PET-G pending how the colors turn out. Pricing will be $55+shipping.
Taking orders now and trying to get ideas on how many of each I am going to need to make. Some will be ready to ship this week! $50 for clear, $55 for colors, plus shipping.

Looks so much better now!
Quoted from WpgPins:20eyes , Where did you get those pink/purple rubbers and post guards?
Titan does the rubbers pink/purple/light blue. All look great on this machine! I actually broke mine up with all three colors for different areas of the PF.

Quoted from BeaglePuss:Just joined the club with this dirty girl last night!
Questions for the gang: Anyone have an extra headbox key, or a link to a replacement? The coin door had no lock to begin with, so I got that open no problem. I’d rather not drill the lock if I don’t have to.
Also, are ramps still being made? If not, anyone have a spare repro they’d like to sell? I’d prefer purple, but would be open to any.
Looking forward to making this my summer project!

I am currently sold out, but am planning to run a big batch of these when I get back from vacation, which would be the week of the 29th. I am still waiting on raw material to come in, but I think I should have it by then.
