Quoted from PinBackpacker:

Any pics of where in the game they’d be mounted?

Will be mounted rt rear behind ramp. Due to scale of the mod it really would not look right anywhere else I tried.
Also lighting will be added and its an easy hook up behind the back of the playfield.

Jacket shots should be next week and it will be placed more toward the center pop area.
Again it will be visually accurate and to scale.
I'll Keep you guys posted. Our next mod scheduled is for the stage and will be both cosmetic and functional.
Few more after that but sales of the first mods will help determine demand.

Few from today placement an lighting test on tank.
Color on tank handle has been changed for final run, now more brass colored like original tank and art work.
This also shows scale and the placement we suggest.
Lighting interactive to GI.

Shot of the Jacket which the final version will look just like this and again placement is totally up to owners.
I like it here front in center also like it above the pops as prior post shows.

Quoted from J85M:

Those look great Rob awesome work as always.

Thanks! One thing I have learned is how hard casting and finish is. We could have designed casted and finished there sets of pops in metal in the same time period these have taken.

If these go over well I will finish the ramp lamp mod and stage early next year.

Quoted from Tuna_Delight:

Upcoming lighting effects code upgrade from API?!

To have it on/ off with the GI you can hook it up as shown.
Future you simply put the Brown/black back in place and swap our black wire to a different open slot in the same connector.
"in theory" I have to say ...and a huge thanks to AP's Rosh and Josh for their support.

#46 5 years ago

Putting out feelers for another mod.
Replaces the factory ramp lamp plastic with a real lamp which is lit by the factory led board and replaces the spot light on the stage with new lighting.
All factory plugs just better life like look?

Also debating on a shooter plate fitting for the machine much like our Mustang and Munsters plate.

Quoted from Platypus:

Is the ramp lamp mod ever going to happen? I think it would be a big improvement to the stock plastic.

Drawings were made casting estimated but not enough demand. Game stopped production shy of 600. I would have to sell 30% to break even. So no we didnt go further.

#56 4 years ago
Quoted from Rdoyle1978:

How about a 3D print version? Is that something you guys do?

No 3d print. The technology isnt what I would want for and finish wise. I dont like the cross hatching it makes and long term durability remains to be seen. My mods normally are full cast resin or metal. Our version of the ramp lamp was cast metal with bronze housing and nickel pole. Basically replaced the plastic all together.
