Don't sweat it! I literally remembering having to google where the power switch was when I got my first pin back in the day..... lol

Luckily it was recent enough that I had the internet to leverage. Thanks RGP!!

Sounds like the description to where the SAM / Whitestar +5v / +12v hookup was.

Also 12V available at the bill validator connector i believe.

Just finished an evening of modding.... and still more to do. This game is almost as bad as Tron! haha

Has anyone put spotlights on their aftermarket Piece of Mind or Trooper figures? I replaced Piece of Mind Ed with the aftermarket but he's a bit dark. The Trooper I put in the upper left playfield and he's actually ziptied to the post for a spot light (on the moving gate piece it would appear).
I did actually use a slightly smaller screw for Piece of Mind to secure the right foot to the plastic (with the upper bumper cover) and then ziptied the left leg to the post as everyone has been doing.

Placing an order with PinballLife but wanted to know what (if any) mylar I should consider ordering for premium or other protection recommendations. I sent an email to passionforpinball about the Cliffy set in the meantime. My machines aren't heavily used so wonder how much protection I really need. I'm actually removing the Cliffy I have on my KISS premium at the scoop since it makes the shot too difficult and going to put mylar there.

I have several of the aftermarket Eddie's installed in my game. I removed all the plastics. I agree the game is dark. I purchased a set of Pin Stadium LED lights while I was at the Pinball Expo and they make a huge difference. They light up the entire game. Makes all the colors pop and their are no more dark areas on play field. Best investment I have made for the game by far. Highly recommended, brings the whole game to life. Here are the before and after Pin Stadium Install pics.

I just purchased an Eddie bust head on eBay (there are dozens listed from every era) to use as a topper. I might consider purchasing a couple depending on the fit on top. The eyes are powered by 2 AA batteries so I'm trying to determine what appropriate wiring would be running off the machine to power the LEDs used for the eyes. I was considering running them off a GI bulb at 5v but also wondering if I can just solder the wires to the AA receptacle? Just checking with fellow Pinsiders on their thoughts and expertise.

So I removed the IM plane temporarily to readjust where its placed due to the archway. I'll be placing over the plane plastic. However I'll need a spacer (I'm pointing to the gap in the pictures that is to occupied by the spacer) to lift it up so it attaches to bracket of the plane and lifts it up a bit so as to not block visibility. I've attached a few pictures to show this gap. Can you recommend any specific spacer post that would attach to just above the plastic? I see Pinball Life and Marco carries what appears to be what I would need in the male/female version and I believe the threading is on these Stern posts is the #6-32 version. I'll likely buy a few different post lengths to get the height elevated to my liking but want to verify this will work my purpose.

I'm looking for a full set of clear plastic protectors, but not having much luck. I've found clear slings/inlanes and colored sets, but no full sets of clear. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I got a 9 piece set from Little Shop of Games

Thanks. That's the best set I've seen. It seems like it still doesn't have one for above the drop targets, though.

Also, any opinions on the upgrade kit that is available on Pinball Life? I understand the ball trap, but what's the deal with the opto adjusters? I haven't seen too many complaints about the optos.

I installed the colored plastics with just the outline so the slings don’t get washed out. It looks super awesome... something to keep in mind unless you don’t like the colored outline.

Where'd you get those from?

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/iron-maiden-truecolor-plastic-protectors#post-4517488-parent

Looks like they aren’t available now. Hopefully just temporary because they are great.

I just installed the yellow ones from the ulek store. However they completely wash out the colors on the slings which was disappointing. I'm trying to find an alternative for them since the yellow on the edge looks great but the sling Plastics lose all of their color. I too you welcome any recommendations where the undersurface is either cut out to allow the original sling Plastics to show their color or a neutral color such as plastic. I see mezel has what appears to be a slight light blue color for their Plastics.

I too noticed this plastic that could be ordered but wasn't sure where the ball trap you she was coming from. Where is the ball trap tissue anyways?

Thanks!!

More for people who have playfield protectors installed. That bit of extra height it gives makes the ball miss the opto when going round at speed.
The adjusters certainly improve the range of the opto.

There is a picture of it installed that shows a standoff just outside the orbit. It looks like a ball could sit between the standoff and the side of the cabinet.

No prob with my playfield protector and optos.

Is anyone making pop bumper caps? I would love to see Hooked make some. How about custom side rails?

Got my Iron Maiden topper in last week. I made some modifications to the paint job to really set it off. Added additional shadows and wrinkles to Eddie and painted the head dress and chin adornment with metallic gold and blue paint. This topper is awesome. So happy with this product. Thanks again @habeboo.

That's nice! I hope to get one some day too.

Where did you get the piece of mind eddie? Who makes it? Thx

You can buy it straight from Stern. Same one in the Prem/LEs.

Another Pinstadium customer with a bogus Before pic. What is it with these guys? I've literally seen dozens of these posts, usually from new members. A bit fishy. I don't doubt this product provides an abundance of light, but the way people frame it as a Must Have with bogus Before pics is misleading.

My Maiden Pro is in a very dark arcade and it's plenty bright with stock lighting.

Nice paint job on that topper though!

I really, really like the metallic paint on the sculpted part, but it makes the blue on the backboard part look wrong. Also, the eyes would benefit from some 99 cent store sunglasses lenses being inset into the dark to harmonize that area and finish the look.

Got another link? Also interested

http://costore.com/sternpinball/productthumbnails.asp

From this link just click on: Replacement Parts

Agreed; the game is plenty bright even in a brightly lit room

Confused. The Stern figurines are at that link. Just click on it.

Is there anyone who knows where to buy a splitter for this plug so I can add another rgb led ? This is the one under the clairvoyant orb on the premium. Or is there anyone that can make a splitter with another rgb led set up?
I want to add another led on top with an orb but leave the original under the plastic.
Thx mike

Got a few mods done tonight. Besides installing a trooper figure, I got a trough light and lighted plane.

First, for the trough light, I just bought the 7LED strip from cometpinball, in a variety of colors to try out. I just don't get it. The strip is $2.75 at cometpinball, so why are they $15-$20 on mod manufacturer's sites?

The other thing...is that it seems fairly bright. Maybe I should have bought a 3LED strip instead or bought a brightness adjuster for $2 (https://www.cometpinball.com/product-p/mtxbriteadj.htm). Of course, I could put in another order but...I just hate paying for shipping all the time.

20181209_183231 (resized).jpg

Then...for the plane, I had bought the spitfire "easy model" for $16 from amazon, and a 3LED strip from comet for $3, so $19. Its not as nice as lermods $60 one, or the interactive $80, but...it was kind of fun to do myself.

I first bent some wire and hot glued it on ->

20181209_173521 (resized).jpg

Cometpinball didn't have red 3LED in stock so I got warm white. Actually....maybe I prefer the warm white since its probably brighter and "neutral". Install was a snap with alligator clips.

20181209_183315 (resized).jpg

Pharaoh eye kit. $7 shipped. Never installed.

Ball hang up plastic under right ramp. Was going to install bit game already has a post installed to prevent hang ups. Pinball life sells these with opto plastics. Free to good home if someone needs. See second picture to check of your game had post installed. It’s the post with clear rubber on it.

I’m referring to the diagram at post 1532 on the Iron Maiden issues thread.... my game already had it installed. The plastic has been spoken for.

Gone...

Plastic is gone to good home.

Merry Christmas pinheads I just got topper from Dan tilttopper looks awesome
