Quoted from Spacemanratso09:Weird problem
The crane coil that goes down to allow the ball to be held works,BUT it goes back up to quick and the ball doesn’t have time to roll down to get behind it
Sounds like a switch problem. I would check the switch on the crane and the one on the blue ramp.

Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:Can someone please confirm the dimensions of the MPD topper emblem (see attached). I'm told it is a 3.5" circle.
Additionally, has anyone already redesigned it that would let me have a copy of their file for a restoration (helping out a friend)?
It would also be great if someone who has a nice quality original could post a good close-up photo.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.[quoted image]
Let me know if you see need these. I can do it in the am.
Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:I need some help from the LAH community please. In designing my topper decal, it has been brought to my attention that there are actually 2 screws/rivets that go through the decal which mounts to a disk which is fastened to the rectangular plate. I’m trying to understand the exact setup but photos are scarce. So, I have a few questions in order to account for making the holes in my decals.
- Are screws or rivets used? From the good pics I have seen they look like rivets but not the pop kind. Basically trying to figure out if they are easily removable for decal install or if they are permenant and the decal needs to fit over them.
- if screws, what is the hole diameter that the screw goes through?
- if rivets, what is the head diameter of the rivet?
- are the screws/rivets placed at the exact vertical center of the decal?
- what is the horizontal distance in mm between the exact centers of the two screws/rivets?
- I saw a pic w/o the decal or disk mounted and the surface is flat with the two holes. Personally, I would choose to mound the new decal on the disc then use some adhesive to secure the disk to the plate so that riven/screw heads are covering the decal. Is this practical/preferred? I guess I could offer two version of the decal (one w/ holes so that it fits over the screws/rivets and one w/o for those who want to get rid of the screws/rivets) but was trying to simplify.
Any help is greatly appreciated as I’m very close to finalizing my design and offering them for sale.

I’m noticing the background of the rhino is really orangish instead of pure yellow, so I will adjust for that. FYI, I am going to have a few options which will include a replacement dust that will mount without rivet heads covering any of the graphic. More to come soon.
All I need at this point is for someone to provide me the hole diameter for the rivets in the rectangular plate, and then I will have all the measurements I need. Since the rivets are not meant to be removed, will need to be someone who is already missing the emblem disk.
The rhino is orange for sure. The rivets look to be the standard 1/8 dia. But not 100% sure. Without taking it apart
Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:Yea, really need the hole diameter for sure before I can finalize the design on my alternative snap in 3D printed plate, but I don't expect someone to drill out there rivets to give it to me. I know there are plenty out there who are missing the piece with the holes exposed.
Would you mind giving me one more shot? Heads-on closeup (in focus) with good lighting, so that I can grab the best representation of that orange color.

My only question is if I need to make the blue a deeper color or not since I don't have a live one to compare to. Also, is the plastic actually lit from underneath? If not, I can use a different thicker glossier paper for the graphic.

No the plastic doesn't get lit. It just covers wires from the 4 bulbs and the spinner bracket above the 2 scoops.

Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:Here is a rough draft of my decal for the clear plastic. Graphics are low resolution since I don't have any plastics to scan/photo from, but thought I would see what people thought.[quoted image]
I am in once they get made.

Quoted from TheCapn:Someone snapped this at TPF. Looking good!

It was a great game. Everytime I walked by it always had a line. The pinsound board really made the game. Imo. I loved how the mix went with display. What was the mix? Something you put together or one that was found on the pinsound forums.

Has anyone else had this problem before. Starts with one ball not making it all the way down the ramp. I fought this problem all weekend long at southern fried expo. Game was dead center and 6.8 or so on the degrees. I also put the coils on hard incase of any power drop. I played the game for 30 mins and never could do it. 30 mins later I would walk by and have to fix the balls again. Maybe it was from people faling around in multi ball. But it was a pain to deal with all weekend.
584663008 (resized).jpgQuoted from TheCapn:Your ramp must be warped or not set correctly. I can't get a ball to sit anywhere on my ramp without it wanting to roll down.
I will check that tonight. Pretty sure its installed right. Could be warped I suppose. How would you unwarp a ramp?
