Here is a quick pic of mine before the shop job I did after I replaced the clear target for the red one

With it angled there is little chance of it flying straight back down between the flippers making the game easier. Since the magnet save is only activated on the lock shots I think the point is that you want to avoid hitting that other than locking.

Is there a trick to Q's pen? It sucks.

That would be incredible,
Like the mission mode that it awards it even if you don't finish it

Ive found a few lucky hits off the slingshots helps with Qs pen rather than aiming for it as its so close to the right drain

Yup, that plastic becomes brittle, you should just go ahead and purchase "backups" while waiting for the next one to snap.......

Helli Doozi, that is looking great! Was planning to do it myself also great models and good in size. Welk done.
Greetings,

I like that,
and I know I have both of those little cars in my Bond collection lol,

Good job Doozie!

Ah, rebuilt flippers give the same peaceful feeling as a set of new wiper blades on the automobile!

+1

Finally got my order in for the lamp holders for the rest of the missing GI

Not a huge difference but it makes the ramp section a little brighter

first sample posted to US pinsider (much appreciated helper), test fitted and we are at 95% complete in design with just some minor tweaking to do

on the other side, not having luck with small run vacuum forming so Shapeways might be the only option at this stage as I am currently doing it for the Pinsiders for the love of it - no money to be earned on this one. 3D printing just takes too long (over 3hrs per unit) and just isn't smooth enough for my liking. Shapeways will have about 6 colour options and will be available in original look and modded panel look.

whoo, that is looking very nice. can it take a beating?
great project.

greetings,

basd

I will do the tweaks first and then I can finalise a price with the link to where to find it.

not sure on the beating but this one is 3D printed and I drove my car up on it just out of curiousity and it never cracked so it is strong at about 40% fill, Shapeways ones will be 100% solid but a nylon type of material so not sure.

This dish is actually thicker, and will take MORE of a beating than the original! Excellent job Swinks!!!

Wow that new dish looks superb!

Do we have a time frame on completion and possibly a price?

and errrr, if you need another test candidate on a HUO goldeneye I could errrr, "help"

killer job ... looks great !

Have some LED's coming from Art at comet pinball coming tomorrow

Looking forward to seeing my game LED'ed up

Just completed Q's pen last night! It was actually NOT a series of lucky hits...........After you initiate the mode, get to ball to the left flipper (either post-passing or shooting the left ramp) then shoot the ball after it has traveled down to the very tip of the left flipper - this will effectively launch it right towards the targets.

Or the post on the opposite sling, and SDTM..

Or into the right hand sling and off to the races again usually with a drain shortly thereafter

Q's pen is a bitch... period...

Congrats on finishing it

Looking for a Goldeneye

Gerry, yes, those are distinct possibilities (the damn slingshot action killing you) but if the pin gods smile on you, you somehow avoid all that!).
Now, let's see if I can do it again anytime soon.......

The shapeways option can be found here for anyone interested. I am aware that it isn't the cheapest option but I am only making a couple of dollars if one sold. It is more expensive due to the Shapeways volumetric pricing.

Guys, this turned out incredibly nice! It looks sooooo much better than the original, I think if you can hunt down some black screws that would also add to the complete look!

I do want to mention that everyone's magnet core is going to be different, mine is *really* mushroomed out, so I had to take a sharp knife and gently carve out the center of the dish (were only talking by a few millimeters.....) before it would seat itself over the magnet. Some people might not have to do as much "carving" but some of that *will* be involved.......I just don't want Swinks getting any attitudes from anyone who purchases it thinking it'll pop on in a couple of seconds - it's not a design flaw......

Also, that magnet core will also slide back and forth if you release some of the tension behind it via that huge nut that tightens the magnet to the mounting bracket. Pushing the magnet core outwards, away from the plastic disk sitting behind it will help the new satellite dish "bite" around the perimeter of the magnet like it should - my magnet core needed this as it was practically flush to the surface and didn't offer much surface for the disk to fit over.

Bottom line, you'll have to tinker just a bit to get it on, but it doesn't take long, and MAN does it look SO MUCH BETTER!!!

Swinks great job!!!

Who's bringing or selling one at Pin A Go Go??

Anybody light up the backboard plastic with the sunrise on their GoldenEye using one of these?

I'm going to try it out.......

Ok, it's official - I suck at GoldenEye! Anyone have any pointers?? It seems that the right flipper is the way to go for a lot of shots (start mode, lock ramp, satellite dish shot) soooo, I've been working on my dead flipper passes when ball comes careening down the left side.
This table demands a lot of precision, if you're hitting the dish bank targets, or shootout/pen targets, the ball invariably gets slung around to an outlane via the slingshots.
I know you can backhand the lock ramp, but either way I generally miss that shot!!

ARrrrrgh!! Anyone figured out how to disable that damningly annoying "DataEast give the player Everything on the last ball" setting?!?!?!

-Nate

Tsskinne, well, I will just keep-a-tryin'!!! Interesting that you find you're using the left flipper more - I'll give it a shot - I didn't think the mode shots were "doable" from left-side??

Congrats on the beautiful backglass!

Anyone else have trouble with the ball hopping off the left ramp?! Drives me crazy - am trying to come up with a mod to keep the ball from jumping - may have to signal Swinks again!!

I am all ears, just let me know what you are thinking / need….. see what a can do

Hi I added a washer or two and it really helped the problem

Hey Pdxmonkey - where did you fit the washers? Can you post a pic? Thanks!!!

Excellent - old one going up on the wall??

I vote for wall, framed with a digital clock face installed in one of the high score windows!!

Hi all. I have a problem with my goldeneye but didn't know where to post it. Hope someone can help here. My satellite multiball is automatically starting as soon as the pop up ramp goes up. Anyone have an idea how the satellite multiball shot is validated or any clues why this is happening?

I'd guess something is "closed" once the magnet contacts the ball?? Hmmmm, good question.

Turns out it was a fuse under the playfield. Looked like it was fine but I replaced it anyway and it is now working again .

Can anyone with a manual tell me the part # for the satellite magnet?
I need to order a new one but can't find the part #
