How do mirror blades look?

Quoted from LTG:

Reflective.
LTG : )

Quoted from Schabs81:

could we see a picture of mirror blades

Quoted from Schabs81:

Lol I'll be more specific could we see a picture of mirror blades

Quoted from mountaingamer:

Well my 1.9 million grand champion score lasted exactly 1 game. Next game my 17yr old daughter who has been playing pinball all her life, and whose sole purpose at pinball is to remove me from the leader boards put up this[quoted image]

Quoted from zaphX:

That’s a pretty good score!
Maybe we should run another “post your best score” tournament...that went pretty well last time.

Quoted from Oneangrymo:

See that little bubble on the right radcal ? It’s minor and needs a certain angle to see it I can push it in a little bit then it pops out must have been a manufacturing issue ?[quoted image]

Quoted from mountaingamer:

I think replacing that side would be a pain. I wonder if you could needle prick it then hit it with a heat gun just to warm up and activate the adhesive and then use a roller to compress it back down - then put something up against it until it cools... I doubt you would ever see the needle hole, and not sure it would work but my guess is JJP just sends another radcal. That or just try the heat gun without the needle. Either way talk to JJP first

Quoted from Oneangrymo:

Thanks for the advice I’ll contact them. I guess it’s so minor I’m probably not going to mess with it , but will see what they say

Quoted from zaphX:

What was your build date? I'd be inclined to see if it resolves itself over time, hoping the air eventually makes its way into the porous wood.
But if it was many months ago, maybe that is not gonna happen...

Quoted from mountaingamer:

Quoted from RTS:

This needle trick worked perfectly for me when applying smaller decals. The hole completely disappears. ( I haven't tried cabinet decals though)

Quoted from zaphX:

Poking a needle through the thick plastic radcal is a different beast though. Much more difficult and will leave an unsightly blemish as compared to a thin paper decal.

Quoted from Oneangrymo:

Just wondering how this happened can’t be from moving it , nothing touched the sides there is no obvious impact . Kind of seems glue didn’t fix well there

Quoted from zaphX:

Just speculating...the installer probably went a little too quickly and just trapped air in there. Same way air bubbles happen in traditional paper decals.
I doubt there is any problem with the glue, it is very strong and you said it sticks briefly when pushing it in.
I'd try the wallpaper roller though, I bet you can squeeze that air to the top and get it smooth.

Quoted from Oneangrymo:

So aim up not down ?

Quoted from pinball_keefer:

Guys, the modes are selected by the last target you hit (the color in front of the insert). You have to hit one of those targets to start a chapter. While it's bouncing around, the side rubbers rotate the lights. It's all based on physical action.
Note this generally means the last thing you qualified is more likely to start because of how it assigns the lights.

Topper pieces are coming together. I wish the skull was a bit larger, but it's going to mount higher up and the lighting will be cool. Need to figure out the plastic background. I think it might be ocean waves. I wonder if I spend time making the ships rock.
Most of the decals arrived today! Just listed them on the pinside shop as well.[quoted image]

Quoted from PinMonk:

Get the disney talking skull off Ebay.[quoted image]

Quoted from Schabs81:

Thanks keefer oh btw when's final wizard mode going to be done? Not that I'm any where close to getting there.

Quoted from Soulrider911:

question for you folks, im ordering molex connectors to make my own 12v power splitters, but am unsure about the size:
Are they 0.093" or .062" Pins

Quoted from harryhoudini:

For those of you considering the window filler mod here are the instructions I am working on. Really detailed but it's only a 10 minute install and 2 nuts to remove.
https://magicalproductions.miiduu.com/black-pearl-stand-up-window-filler-install-instructions
If you have any suggestions or comments, feel free. I'm working on a video.

Quoted from wesman:

Nice and through!
Basically feed up through the existing wire loom under the ship, mount, and connect molexes. From what I gathered.

Quoted from harryhoudini:

Some folks asked for video/photos of the galaxy backboard plastic installed, etc. Here is a video of the starmap working. This method of install, which I am testing, means pretty much no modification to the game, about a 5 minute install and works with or without existing starmap. As well, I am testing a "twinkling light" version which can be a plug and play modification for those who have SE versions and want something cool back there. Still a 5-10 minute install.

That video and this picture is of the prototype. The final version will have less glare and will be a real, authentic pinball plastic (produced by CPR). Here it is installed with the starmap PCB behind it..you can barely see the bend in it from above and nothing from the front once the playfield is pushed back.
I am still working on a replacement backboard for those who want it, but it may not be necessary and I'll refund anyone who purchased one.
**Again, prototype install.. the finished piece will be much cleaner[quoted image]

Quoted from wesman:

This looks really, really good! Prior I had no interest...but man, this is impressive work HH!

Quoted from Yelobird:

Ok Buccaneers, how about a Friday How To tutorial on making your own Davy Jones! NOT for sale just a tutorial so please don't ask! lol Start with a not so easy to find but attainable if you keep an eye on Ebay Davy Jones Series 1 7" figure. Incredible detail and a perfect scale fit! Start with a simple nut cracker move and literally Crack him in half at the waist. While his mid section does have a plate of plastic it seemed a bit to thin for my long term liking so I added a printed solid plastic reenforcement plate and super glue. Center and match holes in removed barrel and Tom figure. Ok, this part is a bit more invasive but really Not that hard. As this figure does not have articulating elbows his arms would Not work in our spinning application with the ramps so he needed to be Persuaded to conform. Using a heat gun Slowly apply heat to his elbow. You'll know when you're there when you see a little smoke and they bend easy. To fare and you get fire. Bend both arms to 90 degrees and add rubber bands till they heat set to the correct shape. A few minutes. After mounting him its time to give that lovely cape a needed trim. I found just below the barrel top edge is perfect and still looks Flowey. (is that a word?) One detail that is IMPORTANT, after you dry fit him and make sure all spins perfect you Need to apply a small amount of super glue to All joints to lock them in place. He won't love it but he Can't move or raise his arms when spinning!! Also note how I arranged and glued his right hand tentacle to the barrel for a nice look. Spins great and other then some casual hobby time really not that hard to do. Plus on a CE this is simply Spot On! Hope this helps. Do let me know if there is anything I forgot to explain. Play on ye scurvy Pirates!!!!
The Mod Couple

I have followed the instructions provided by the mod Couple having found a Davy Jones on Ebay for £20. Best mod you can do in my opinion and led to a good score in my next game!! Thankyou
