Oh man, where do I even begin? 16 hours after posting the last post in this thread, my Pinside secret santa gift arrived! Whoever my SS is did their homework and contacted RobF regarding building this amazing mod for my #MET pro. I'm lucky enough to say I am now the owner of one!
Installation was easy, the 3D printed parts are extremely precise and everything is very high quality. RobF killed it on this mod, it's amazing. He also printed in a special glow in the dark purple to match my powder coated machine!
I know that everyone who reads this thread is chomping at the bit for one, so I don't need to pursued anyone further, however, I have to share this with the community!
Here is a video of the cross rising
Thanks again SS & @RobF! When you are ready to start selling these, they are going to go fast!

Quoted from snakesnsparklers:I'm eagerly awaiting this too
Oh man! me too...This is the coolest ever.
I know you’re not keeping lists on who wants one... Thank you for this mod! I am one of those weirdos that prefers Met pro, (mostly because of the artwork) added the total light show, spinners, self made custom backbox lighting, etc.
This is a reminder for me to order when it’s available.

Your'e not the only one. I prefer Met Pro too. It seems faster and better flow to me. The only thing I wish it had is.....The rising cross!

Quoted from RobF:After several months of this project sitting on the shelf, I finally have a fully functioning prototype of my MetPro rising cross mod. It is a few 3D printed parts, a servo, and a control board. It's plug and play as far as connecting to the target opto board and the cross LED. It needs a few tweaks and a lot of play testing before I call it done, but I was excited to share a video of it in action. As of right now I am not taking orders or keeping a list of the interested. This will change when I get closer to final design. Happy to answer any questions and take feedback.
Any update on when you start taking orders?

Pending price I'm in. Probably the one thing I wish my pro had that it didn't. Dont miss the hammer / lock but this was a cool feature.

Thanks everyone for hanging in with me. I'm looking to have the first couple available in a week or so. Initial price will be $180 shipped. I'll update when I am ready to take orders.

Great news man. Can't wait.
Quoted from Lethal_Inc:Make a lot please!
Chip supply is still a challenge. I have enough parts on hand to build maybe 15 or so. Once I get a few out in the wild and I can start collecting feedback, I think I'll have a better idea what the demand is going to look like.
Quoted from jjgnx87:Hi,please put me on the list.Thanks
Quoted from jkashani:Please put me on the list.
I'm looking to have a more formal, self-service way to handle the interest list. I am generally terrible at keeping track of names from PMs, email and forum posts

Just a friendly reminder, I was the first one to reach out to you about this mod and requested to be on the list first.
I don't think RobF is taking "I'll take one" or "put me on the list" posts. But in case he changes his mind. I'll take one and please put me on the list.
I played mikespins Metallica with your mod.
I want one too, add me to any list you have (it would cool in purple too since I'm powder coating my MET the same as Mike's)
Reach out to mikespins - he may be able to help you out with a website/storefront since he made his own.
Just mention SKORR told you.

Sorry purple sparkle glow in the dark was a 1/1 secret santa special. The rest will be "Self Titled" black color.
And yeah funny enough MrMike is actively helping me fix up my broken webpage. I'll use that to collect the initial interest list.

That's funny, I had no idea he was doing that. Mike's so passionate about pinball - it figures he's already doing that for you.
Still add me to the list

Ok...the time has come. Go here, create an account, then put your name on the interest list. https://www.robtune.com/product/metallica-pro-rising-cross/
Big thanks to mikespins for all the help standing up my site. It would probably be another year wait if not for him
Can't create a password. Failed recapcha. However, I was able to submit my name and email on the interest list. Hopefully that went through.
Quoted from JesseJames23:I’m in! But having trouble changing password. I get a failed recaptcha warning?
I created an account but now I can't login as I tried to change my password. At least im on the list for now.
IMG_9427 (resized).jpgJust made an account and added to the interest list.
If I remember what happened correctly, it never asked for an initial password.
Then when you try to change your password or log back in, you can't since you don't know what default password was set.
Hopefully we are all on the list that had the password issue. I submitted to the list and I think it went through.
