I don't have any photos yet, have been playing it too much tonight to take photos, but my IJ came home today. This has been my "grail" pin for about 18 years. Finally got one.

That metallic bronze powder coat looks amazing. Can you share ballpark
price it cost?

I need to find someone to PC my parts after seeing that.

Thanks

Anyone have a spare jackpot plastic they'd be willing to sell me? Mine is cracked, so would like to replace it when I install the set of plastic protectors I have.

Thanks!

I have a more or less stock IJ with the following upgrades:

ColorDMD
Upgraded speakers
Brass wire forms
Lighted Ruins mod

What other mods/items do you think are the best bang for buck for a grail/keeper?

Pin sound?
Invisiglass?
Shaker?
Something else?

Thanks for the input!
I forgot to list that I have warm white LEDs. Definitely want to keep the warm retro feel. need LEDocd for the flicker.

Will check out a gold captive ball. Hadn't seen those.

I just have to decide pin sound or invisiglass next. Those will both end up bought, just not sure of the order.

No figurines or junk like that.

Check eBay for the speaker panel plastic. Classic Arcades has a current listing for $99.95.

Can't paste the link from this phone, but you should be able to locate it there.

My STTNG was launching balls repeatedly a couple weeks ago, but all opto switches tested good on the switch edge tests. This pin uses the same trough opto boards as IJ. Swapped the boards out and the problem moved from my STTNG to the IJ.

Reflowed all the solder joints on the trough transmitter opto board, and the problem went away. I'd suggest starting with that board pair if all the switches are testing good. Could still be the source of your problems.

If it ends up being the problem, you could either repair it or replace it with the GLM board set. It's an improved design for about $60/set.

Good luck!
