What do you all think about this price for an IJ, the Pinball Adventure?

ebay.com link: Indiana Jones The Pinball Adventure

That’s the only thing more amusing than the price.

I envy your workshop more than your machine.

Let us know the results. I’ve been pm’ing every couple months as well.

I recently have seen an issue where the ball kicks out of the trough but then bounces hard enough off the wood rail to end up back in the trough, requiring multiple kicks to get it out occasionally. Has anyone else had this issue? I figured I would ask before diagnosing.

It is.

Use the IJ_Remastered mix directly from Endprodukt. The ReOrchestrated is just a dupe that someone else uploaded. I've been using the Remastered for a year and it's flawless. With some upgraded speakers the results are night and day from the original mix.

This and T2 are the two machines I would put a pinsound upgrade as a better bang for your buck than colordmd.

It’s much bigger because it has been uncompressed to .wav format. The pinsound board will do this uncompression on first boot with any sound package.

I simply meant his upload on the pinsound community.

I have that exact setup.

I’m gonna test this out. Pretty sure I have the jackpot callout on my mix.

Just tested on my machine.

It has both an extra ball callout by Salah and a jackpot call out by Indy.

There are two versions of Endorodukts mix on the pinsound site so that could be the issue.

Still trying to resolve my issue with the ball eject out of the trough. Can someone send me a photo of the metal angle above the trough? I think mine might be bent incorrectly.

definitely could be. Did you end up removing yours?

I just researched, and I am using a mix I got directly from Endprodukt, as I donated to him on PayPal for his work on T2 and IJ.

did you try upgrading your pinsound firmware? The one it ships with has some guys that got fixed in later firmware releases.

For those with missing call outs, do you have pinsound or pinsound+ boards? I am running a pinsound+ with the latest firmware

Has anyone installed the “improved” ball trough assembly from Marco? It has stainless steel rails and a mechanism that prevents balls from leaving when playfield is up?

After watching my ball eject, it collided with the black wood rail on the inside of the shooter lane. Does yours do the same?

Thanks. Pretty sure I need to bend that angle slightly to change trajectory.

When I set mine up, I simply dropped the .zip file onto the flash drive and booted the pinsound+ board. This way it allows the zip to be uncompressed in it's native linux filesystem. I have had no issues with missing or corrupt sounds.

I’ll test it out later, but pretty sure I hear the gunshot.

I have prototype SS rails for my POA, and I’m thinking about getting these brass plated to match the rest of my machine. Has anyone else done this? Couldn’t find pics anywhere. Am I going crazy overboard with this?

Yes. on every IJ I've played....

I was. The shot is aligned perfectly to feed straight down between the flippers.

wow. Looks really nice. I’ve already done all wire forms including the one on the apron. Where did you get those flipper toppers? Are you using post lighting on the slings?

Have you tried downloading the original unedited sound package, and see if the SFX# matches up? Maybe it was incorrectly modified.

One thing I have also noticed from working on other pin sound mixes, is that sometimes a file that isn't recognized properly can be fixed by simply renaming the folder AND the file. I'm not near my machine, but you can check and see if that works.

It’s probably your location and/or shipping prices lately. STI is charging upwards of $600 to ship a machine these days depending on distance.

it’s for creation and manipulation of pinsound orchestrations. You can also use it to load up and test the usb stick and for creating shaker compositions.

While I generally agree, I go back and forth between IJ and AFM. IJ can be tough on novice players, and can be clunky if you don't have some shot accuracy. AFM seems accessible to everyone and is fun no matter what your skill level. IJ will also never be remade, and has the most killer sound upgrade thanks to EndProdukt.

Pinsound+ and the pinsound shaker. The endprodukt reorchestestion for IJ is incredible.

With the pinsound studio you can fully customize the shaker effects to match up with different events in the game.

It connects to J101 on the driver board via a pass through.

The shaker needs to be programmed into the mix. It's fully customizable and you can tweak the strength and type of shake with different sound events in the game.

I'm begun working on a "shaker" enhanced mix, but I'm nowhere near done yet. Happy to collaborate with others here. The trick is in the tweaking / refining of the effects so they feel natural in the game. I've already done the mine cart mode which is amazing, as well as the ball locks, POA holes, and Jackpots (increasing strength as jackpot increases) . Lots more to do.

Backbox, but it's quite small.

Cool story.

Is it because the pinsound 1 doesn’t support the shaker? Do they have an upgrade program?

Pro tip: don’t be good enough to reach the point at which any of these bugs come into play.

I'm curious why Pinsound lists IJ as one of the machines with a shaker mix, but it's not available anywhere on the site.

First check to see if your cabinet is warped.

For those that have lit under their Idol / Idol ruins, what's the best method? I want to illuminate the yellow plastic housing underneath, but I do not want the entire ruins to be glowing.

I've installed a bulb socket in the extra hole underneath, so I'm ready to order whatever people recommend.

Does only the glitter playfield have the predrilled holes ?

I’m really on the fence about which one to get. Those who have received the glitter, how does it look in person?

Really sorry to hear that. Unfortunately you are at the front of the impact curve, buts it’s going to hit everyone eventually. I’m guessing there are going to be a lot more than just people walking away from playfield purchases around here.

Do not spend $70 on shipping

Pinball Pro makes a $99 kit that sounds amazing with pin sound
https://pinballpro.net/shop/bally-williams-wpc-pinsound-speaker-kit/

If you want to go cheaper you can also go DIY.

The important part is to find quality speakers with a high sensitivity. The best combo I've found which works amazingly with pin sound:

Cabinet woofer:
https://www.parts-express.com/goldwood-gw-208-4-8-oem-woofer-4-ohm--290-310

$19.13

Backbox speakers:

https://www.parts-express.com/dayton-audio-dc130b-4-5-1-4-classic-woofer-speaker--295-307#lblProductDetails

$18.98 each. ( x 2 )

Total: $57 plus shipping

Going with the Pinball pro kit does get you the cabinet adapters, which will avoid the need to mod your cabinet. In my opinion it's worth the extra cost over DIY.

Yes. K's Arcade. I've bought all my boards from them.

You can also send the board out for the NVRAM install if you are so inclined: http://chrishiblerpinball.com

Is your left flipper perfectly setup to nail the jackpot shot?

So I've just noticed that The Hand of Fate : Quick Two Ball does not trigger a multiball on my machine. Is this a software / rom issue? My machine is works perfectly for everything else, including the regular two ball multi ball. I saw some mentions here in the thread, but no definitive answer.

I have, but I’m using the LED ColorDMD, so there was no issue with fit.

and me....

I’m a warm white all around person, but for IJ the backbox it is so yellow as it is, that Sunlight gives it a bit more depth and contrast.

I typically DIY my speakers for a pinsound setup:

Woofer : ($19.13)
https://www.parts-express.com/goldwood-gw-208-4-8-oem-woofer-4-ohm--290-310

Backbox: ($7.69 each)
https://www.parts-express.com/grs-5sbm1-8-5-1-4-sealed-back-midrange-with-1-voice-coil-8-ohm--292-431

Depending on how handy you are, the wiring harness is a .90c molex connector, $3 of speaker wire, and about 10 minutes of time.

Pinsound for me. It brings this machine to life.

How long did you have the playfield before you did the swap?

Mine is probably on track for a 24 month cure so I should be good?

Anyone know if J-lo is on this thread? Wonder what her game would sell for.

It's the law of pinball maintenance. Any given fix will always expose or introduce at least one additional problem.

I didn't realize it was 3D printed until you pointed that out.... wow. They could have at least done some post processing or smoothing considering the price.

Have you tried a different/faster usb flash drive ?

I also bought my IJ about 4-5 years ago for 7.3K. Was super worried at the time that I was overpaying. Now all I can think about is how it is never leaving.
