I'm not much of a mod guy, but the aftermarket orb dome thingie was a little too large for my taste. On the pro, its really hard to see the orb dome lit up when it is flashing from underneath, since there is no newton ball for it to reflect the light. Solution for me, steal the blue dome from the right side of the playfield, bore out the appropriate size hole on the plastic, and flip the dome to the top, just like the dome to the left in the pic. You can do this yourself if you are brave enough to modify the plastic. Just make sure you protect the LED board from underneath since it will be exposed. Meaning you don't want the ball to be able to hit the LED board. I used another clear plastic underneath, but you can use just about anything.

Any other pro owners besides myself wish the orb/power jackpot target was a newton ball like on the premium?

Wonder if it would be possible to mod up a pro for a newton ball, though at a glance it would seem like you would have to drill a hole in the playfield, which really isn't ideal.

Heh, I guess its just me. I guess my thinking is I may be able to regain control a little easier off a newton ball shot which kinda deadens your shot a bit. That target is so close, sometimes the ball comes off it pretty quickly and wildly. Almost reminds me of shooting the center targets in Dracula in a way, they can be risky to shoot on purpose.

I haven't had a chance to play a premium to compare the difference between both shots and how it changes gameplay, if at all.

Anyone else notice that Stern did away with the coin door decals with the spike games? I like the coin door decals, all my SAM's have them. I think maiden definitely needs one.

I am not artistic enough to do it, just a suggestion for someone who is.
