"On dimpling and materials, and polycarbonate and the thickness of it and how that changes targets and gameplay:"

"George Gomez: You can make it work, those guys in Europe put the plastic on the playfields, which by the way I think is absolutely atrocious. We spend so much time trying to make a pinball machine feel the way it does and shoot the way it does. And then these guys come and add a sixteenth of an inch and everybody says “oh, it’s just a couple millimeters”…yeah I know, but the position of your drop target or your standup target or your ramp flap, whatever, relative to the – you didn’t move the target up, so the ball is hitting the target at a different place, at a different height…[and] on the plastic, the ball tends to slide as opposed to roll on certain shots. When it skips, forget about it…it is a wild ball. That is the issue with the polycarbonate solution."

I think your correct. the couple of millimeters that George speaks of, through me off. the playfield protectors are only 0.5mm (0.02‘‘) thickness. and not the thickness of a couple of millimeters.

Got it. I missed that.

Haggis pinball is certainly a labor of love. I am so happy to support this project. Aussies rock!

I think the plexi is under the hole. I see the reflection of the of the ‘motion light show box’ on the plexi.

The paint job, decal, wrap, or whatever it is… on this cab looks incredible!
Furthermore, the whole build quality from what I can see, after hitting the pause button several times in YouTube video, here and there. looks pretty amazing!

Wow! If my math is correct… that’s a $8800 profit!

It looks great! Is the head (back box) on hinges?

I noticed Fathom has no slide rails. how does it work?
I wonder if these could be attached;

Looks amazing! How tall is the backbox from the floor?

75grams? You Guys are Heavy hitters!

Haha! I caught it quicker than you…

$1700ish air freight for mid-west USA -$500ish for PPS freight is $1200ish difference…

1700 is with the 250 credit included

Replace the shooter tip rubber. Put a 6/32 (pinball nut, or equivalent) inside the rubber tip, then slip it on. (my OG shooter rubber was cut shot on the back, that is why you probably need a new tip, for the extra rubber to slide on the shaft, after installing the nut inside.

That will give you the extra extended reach you need for a good plunge. (Just remember to pull the plunger back before raising the playfield)

The airballs from the 123 drops are plentiful in this game…

My solution was a 1/16” thick clear acrylic sheet from Amazon. A dremel with a plastic cutting wheel, and a stone attachment to round the edges, and a drill for two mounting holes. I then mounted the homemade acrylic piece under the green plastic protector, and then I placed the original plastic on top, with a washer under each acron nut. There was just enough bit for the top nuts to accommodate this three layer setup.

It’s not laser cut. More of a home brew mod I came up with. But no more air balls!

What is the most recent code for Fathom .85 still? I don't see it on their website.
