I also wanna join the club of the borken targets. I got a nice Indy 500, but of course the targets were broken. I created an easy fix for every one with a 3D printer. It's a "slip on" solution and you don't have to take off the target which is a pain in the ***.

you can dowload the *.stl file for the 3D printer here: http://uploaded.net/file/l63qtaki

Just cut down the rest of the broken target.

so it looks like this

put a bit of glue on the marked positions

the printed part looks like this:

Schalthebel_3 (resized).jpgSchalthebel_3 (resized).jpg

Schalthebel_4 (resized).jpgSchalthebel_4 (resized).jpg

you can use it with the old PCBs but also with the ones from here: http://www.greatlakesmodular.com/index.html?http://www.greatlakesmodular.com/products/pinball/i500itb.html

So at the end it looks like this:

I just finished my little restoration (about 40-50hrs) of my Indy 500. It was in pretty good shape when i got it. Dirty but without major problems. Unfortunately the cab is pretty faded but nearly without any scratches. Will leave it with normal bulbs and no LEDs. It has a very warm golden shine which i like.

(too see sharp pictures click on them)

Quoted from 27dnast:

So adding a cliffy to the turbo area causes bounce outs?

I also have a cliffy on my Indy 500 and no bounce outs, but my playfield is covered with a playfield protector. Maybe this changes the situation.

No shops are selling the left ramp. It's a shame.
