Hook Club - Hook is back!

New Hook owner here. I love the game. The artwork is second to none. I enjoyed the movie, so I am a big fan of the overall theme and style.

I am curious about mods and improvements. Are there any "must-haves"?

What mods are out there that you would suggest?

I have the Hook pinball machine with the 4.08 system. I would like to get the 5.01.
Do i need the cpu/ display version? Whats the difference?

Is this something i could install? If so, how? Do i need to make another upgrade prior to going to the 5.01?

I just got my machine about a month ago and a rubber ring broke. It is the largest white ring on the upper right hand side of the machine (by the rufio ramp).

It seems like i need to disassemble a lot of things to get the new one on.

Does anyone have any info on it? I have looked online without success.

Quoted from cricrow:
Hey everyone! I'm looking forward to my first pinball machine being Hook! I'm hoping to find one this March 2019 at the Texas Pinball convention! I really appreciate any leads you have.

Brandon haney has one (he is in Austin). He builds/repairs pins and he is highly recommended. He is here on pinside or you can pm me and i can give you his info.

Hi everyone...i bought Hook back in 1996 and i still have it...my family and i love this game and i probably wont ever get rid of it...right now im in the middle of tearing down the play field and cleaning...replacing rubber and upgrading lights to led...a basic overhaul....so i plan on buying bulk lights from comet and not get a led kit...the problem is i dont know how many 44 and 555 bulbs to buy i dont want to end up paying to much for lights and having a bunch left over so if you know how many of each i need please let me know...i dont plan on replacing flashers...im getting frosted non ghosting lights...thanks guys.... by the way I have attached a pic of a first ball score I wrote down on a piece of paper 20 years ago and kept it in the cabinet of Hook you can tell how old it is by the yellowed paper it's written on and also my high score for a full game is 457 million I don't have the exact number because my machine is ripped apart and I can't turn it on right now so when game is done i will take a pic of high score and post it... just thought I would share that with you guys also attached a couple of pics of the state my machine is in right now and how dirty it is LOL thanks again for any info you can give me on the LED lights

My Hook was fully shopped and gone through recently...and this machine is a real beauty. If you are able, i would recommend adding a few playfield LED lamps to brighten it up. It really pops!
