Any truth to the rumor that Mirco will be making playfields soon? Been waiting years for a playfield.
Quoted from Ricochet:Tore down my Indy for playfield restoration.
3 days... lots of pics, labels and bins/bags.
Honestly ... I feel like I want to throw up. I’m super excited to finally get this project going... but holy shit!!!! People that do this all the time have a strong stomach. It’s like a long drive... it’s a good thing it’s gonna take a while on the playfield ... I’m not ready to hook it back up for a bit.
In the mean time I can start working on the cabinet.
I’m keeping this game forever so this has to be done for posterity. [quoted image]
My playfield too needs to be restored. I'm scared to death of sending it out, though. I had an AFM playfield come back literally broken in half by the post office. Luckily, AFM playfields were available. Finding an IJ playfield, would be a nightmare. Next to impossible. Not sure they are ever going to get made, either. Licensing appears to be a nightmare. That would really suck having an IJ with no playfield.
I cringe at mods using alligator clips for a connection. IMO, alligator clips should only be used for testing purposes.
Quoted from Extraballz:I know him. Friends boss so legit. Not sure he will look up prices. Am I a bad person for biting my lip?
Hell no!
Does anyone know if the Endprodukt Pinsound file on the Pinsound site is current? I read that at one time it was missing callouts and he had an updated version that you had to contact him for. How do I contact him? Thx!
Quoted from Flipper_McGavin:Have you tried it yet? Thanks for the link, that is what I was waiting for, a balancing of the callout volumes. Some of the callouts on the reorchestration are like 10 or 20db higher than others.
Not yet, but will be installing my Pinsound today and will try it out. Endoprodukt hasn't answered my PM, but he's probably not on pinside everyday.
Quoted from PtownPin:He answered mine today so maybe shoot him another PM?
Damn I wonder if I pissed him off at sometime lol. I won't bug him. I'll figure something out.
Quoted from PPA-AG:ugh - so I didn't realize that i needed to close the door to run the Flasher Lamp testing. When i did that it appears they work.
I'm really happy it wasn't something more serious and really embarrassed on my lack of knowledge on these things.
Thank you both for your help - could not have done it without your guidance.
All good. We all started just like you. Before you know it, you'll be passing on knowledge to another new guy and that's how we keep the hobby going and going...
I'm wondering if the cabinets should be painted a shade of the Radcals that are being installed. For instance, an Indy cabinet should be painted either yellow or orange. I say this, because if Radcals are somewhat transparent, black might be showing through. It might be me, but the Indy cabinet with Radcals posted by OTRChief, shows a very light shade of black? Hard to tell in pictures.
Quoted from DeeGor:The ruins look great. I just think they look too realistic when compared with the art style on the playfield.
Exactly! I always thought I was the only one who thought this. They just look out of place to me.
Quoted from flipper_nutz:FOR SALE - NOS INDIANA JONES PLAYFIELD - Ron Kruzman CLEARED!!!
I'm offering up my beloved IJ playfield FOR SALE to someone looking for the last oppurtunity to have a flawless Original NOS IJ PF. It was for my ultimate restore that I'm not going to have the time to do, so making it available to someone(like me) that only wants the best NOT a reproduction. Ask Ron or Myself if you have any questions at all? Thanks Anthony B.

$5495 firm? That's double what I paid for my whole IJ machine back in 2004. Prices have gone insane. Good luck with your sale, though.
Quoted from Ricochet:Totally worth it… not many originals left to speak of… never mind a Kruzman’d one.
I have an original unrestored IJ playfield. Now, I'm nervous about sending it out to have it restored, being so expensive and rare. It could magically get "lost" in shipping or never received by the restorer because of a "porch pirate". You'd have to be really sure you're sending it to a reputable restorer. Then, there's the risk of it getting destroyed in shipping like an AFM playfield that I bought and was literally broke in half by USPS.
Quoted from Ricochet:Yep … I had mine done by Captain Neo and it came out beautifully. I would have probably gone with Kruzman if my playfield was NOS. Neo did an awesome job … I’m glad I have the original restored in my game. Ultimately it will wear… and you have to come to terms with that too.
Using 2” foam insulation back to back, wrapped with luan makes for a light weight sturdy crate. I get it … everyone has had a bad experience with one carrier or another …so if you’re shipping that’s always a risk.
Captain Neo has done 2 of my playfields. MB and AF. He's awesome.
It's amazing to me how many people here dislike Amazon. Last time I suggested Amazon for something, everyone went crazy about how Amazon "sells junk", is "too expensive", blah blah blah...One guy even posted, "fuck Amazon"...lol.
You can buy junk AND good quality parts on Amazon. The ignorance level blew me away, but to each his own.
I'm sure you can find the exact hardware you need on Amazon. I always do for all my projects, when I can't find it at the local hardware stores.
I did a quick 10 second search and found something close. I'm sure I could have found them if I put more time into the search. Yes I'm lazy. This should give you an idea of what to search for. Good luck!

Quoted from insight75:That's the each part. Its the "nut" part that is hard to come by. But will take another look.
Yeah you're right. I could only find metric sizes of that barrel nut on Amazon.
