Quoted from Darscot:I'll take one of each.
Got you down for one of each, Darscot .
Quoted from Ericc123:I will take one of each as well. Better safe than sorry.
Got you down for one of each, @ericc123.
That puts me at a point that I'm good placing the order by the end of the week. If anyone else is on the fence for any of these parts then please speak up by Thursday night! Here is who I have down for what before postage:
J-Freeze ($57): 1 Timing Chain, 1 Toothed Gear
Pinballlew ($57): 1 Timing Chain, 1 Toothed Gear
twitami ($74): 1 Belt Pulley, 1 Timing Chain, 1 Toothed Gear
Darscot ($74): 1 Belt Pulley, 1 Timing Chain, 1 Toothed Gear
Ericc123 ($74): 1 Belt Pulley, 1 Timing Chain, 1 Toothed Gear
Quoted from Ericc123:Any update? Did you receive the egg you needed?
I'm getting closer to trying this egg recreation. I was able to find a new egg set from the one run that Stern did several years ago and will be using it for the mold. The front half will be first, and if that goes well then I'll give the back half a go. Pictures of the original egg look to be made of fiberglass and are fairly thick but the layers have cracked and splintered from repeated beatings. The repros that I bought are pretty thin and seemingly brittle plastic that I can't imagine lasting very long. I will be making them thicker from the inside to preserve the dino egg texture on the outside and am using a resin that claims to "really take a beating and offer exceptional abrasion resistance", so that should be good! The egg will be opaque white, which is the color of the Stern repros and the color that I assume they originally were. The project is moving...

Can I also get a toothed gear? Thanks
Quoted from Pinballlew:Can I also get a toothed gear? Thanks
Sure thing, @pinballlew.
I placed the order for the parts today but have received no confirmation yet. I'll update everyone when I have it. Have a great weekend!

The parts have been ordered, confirmation has been received, and the belt pulleys have already shipped. For those who are getting the belt pulley - Do you want me to send them to you immediately after I receive them or wait until I have everything to send at once? The remaining parts are scheduled to be complete and shipping to me around the end of March. Pinsiders who ordered the belt pulley are:
twitami : 1 Belt Pulley
Darscot : 1 Belt Pulley
Ericc123 : 1 Belt Pulley
Let me know if you want the belt pulley now or later. If you want it now there would be the extra postage.
Work on the egg repro is progressing slowly. I have what I need and I've decided on what method to use. Now to actually try...
Quoted from Ericc123:I would prefer to wait for everything at once if that's ok.
That's cool.
Quoted from Darscot:I'll wait for everything at once, might even pick up if your cool with that.
Sounds like a plan. We can play some pinball.
So, never got a answer from anyone for sure one way or another: Will your game play correctly if you turn OFF the snagger? Mine (and others I have seen) does weird stuff like modes never ending or it keeps kicking out balls.

My game does strange things as well when snigger is off.
Quoted from twitami:Great, waiting on anymore parts?
Yes, these were in stock but they had to fabricate the other two which should be competed around the end of March.
Quoted from twitami:If that means its all in let me nmow my total
Hey twitami , I still need the toothed gear and then can complete everyone's order. I hope to have an updated ETA for it this week.
Very happy to join the club! Picked up a lost world for a great price, and I have to say I am really enjoying it! Put some led strips in (trough, scoop, shooter lane, and backboard) and in my opinion, they look amazing. I would also highly recommend the led pop bumper rings from comet. The way they fade in and out with an LED OCD board is amazing. For some reason, the drop target can’t drop itself, so I have the snagger disabled. I suspect it is the coil.

Thanks!
Anyone know where I could get a decal for the drop target?
I like those Pop Bumper lights. My X-Files has some green ones in it. I need to put some in my Lost World too.

Would you mind posting a picture of that? I actually just picked up an X files today, and am wondering what color I should put in.

I received the toothed gear and am ready to mail out to everyone. I'll be sending you a PM with the $ amount including $6 postage, which should be pretty close to actual postage. If it is significantly more or less when I take them to the post office I'll let you know and we can work it out. Darscot - You had mentioned a local pickup in Seattle. I help put on the Northwest Pinball and Arcade Show (http://www.nwpinballshow.com) and will be there all three days at the end of the month if you want to meet up to grab these.

Big thank you for organizing this!
Quoted from J-Freeze:Right on!
Quoted from Ericc123:Money sent. You da man!
Quoted from Pinballlew:Big thank you for organizing this!
Thanks and you're welcome, guys. I am happy to be able to contribute to keeping our machines going.
Hey Ericc123 , would you please PM me your address? It wasn't in the PayPal info.

I got all the parts mailed out today. $6 was about right for the average on it all so I'm good if you're good. Now let's get some pics of your snagger rebuilds. I really like the way that the new toothed belt matches the color scheme of the snagger stickers over the original red one. Does anyone have a lead on the snagger stickers without getting the whole set? Mine are pretty jacked. Here's my rebuilt snagger:
Quoted from toasterman04:These are what I made. Just in Excel file, so not great, but better than original. I just print them on photo paper at staples.[quoted image]
Those are nice! I like them.
Quoted from toasterman04:I just got a machine that didn't have an Egg. So I had one printed... looks better than no egg!Had one printed in a white (kinda Cream colured) and one in a marble colour.[quoted image][quoted image]
did you scan it yourself? that is awesome!

Any chance you these might be for sale, for the right price I think I would rather put a printed egg on for daily use and avoid breaking the original.
Umm yah I am sure more could be printed. I can attach some more pics to the and show the colors i had printed.
Ya i also agree, it is so much stronger than that flimsy original... after handling an original i am surprised any of them are even left!
I've run into an odd issue with the 2 playfield magnets. They worked fine and now suddenly they blow the 3Asb fuse on the power driver board. I can get about 1 game before it pops. The individual magnets have their own fuses w diode under the playfield. They remain fine. This game doesnt use a magnet board so I'm a bit puzzled as to what I need to look at. No work has been done since they were perfectly working and now. Diode bad?? Transistor starting to go bad?
Added over 5 years ago:This actually cleared up on it's own. No clue why or how.
In case anyone needs the timing belt for the snagger. Pinball Life has them back in stock. Not cheap, but if you need it, you need it.

Main drive belt actually. Marco has the timing belt
Any one know where I can get a left ramp. I see the right ramps all the time but no left! I’m going to attempt to flam mine and want to be able to obtain a backup juuuussssttttt in case!!!!

I will have one available if you screw yours up. It has damage at the entrance though.
I'm certain this will sound silly but I have an issue with hardware. Someone put the wrong screws in, too long, and the balls hit them. I have attempted to put in a couple of others but they either strip or won't tighten down. The location is the plastic between the left orbits. Any help is appreciated.

Are you using coarse-thread wood screws or fine-thread machine screws? Looks like there are brackets under there so the original screw was likely a 6/32" machine screw. I would try 1/8" or 1/4" long 6/32 machine screws with nylock nuts, putting the screw in from the bottom and the nut on top. That will be your lowest profile way to do it.

OK I can see that. How would you hold the screw underneath? There is very little room.
