Anybody happen to have a spare?
Any links to an equivalent set?
I've heard Pinbits hasn't been shipping orders as of recent
They definitely aren't shipping orders,but have no problem with taking payments. I placed an order May 8th and the status report on their website is still listed as "Processing". They also ignored my emails asking when my order is going to ship.

Ordered Tron EL wire in January and.. Nothing. Site's dead and I'm super annoyed it's still even taking orders. PayPal said I'd have my money back in June. What a ridiculous fiasco.
(Edit: I have received a volunteer. I'll post in this thread when these are ready. Thanks all!)
Hey Metallica owners!
Some of you may be familiar with my mods, and some may not. I typically only make mods for pins that I own/have owned, but am looking to try something new. I'd like to see if I could make unique protectors for Metallica similar to my Deadpool or AC/DC examples (references below). Unfortunately, since I don't own this game, I don't have an accurate shape of the plastics on the machine and need a trace.
My request would be to see if someone in this thread would be willing to take off their in-lane and sling plastics, trace, and send me a scan (it will need to be with an actual scanner, not something like a cell phone photo). I'll send more information via PM if anyone is interested. In return, I'm happy to offer a set of protectors for free to say thanks. Obviously I only need one volunteer if anyone is willing. Please send me a PM if interested.
Thanks!

(PS... since I do not own this game and am not familiar with its common concerns, I'd also be interested in other plastic protector locations/ideas as needed.)
Quoted from OutlawTorn304:Well shit... I was in the middle of a game and the cemetery gate slowly crashed down [quoted image][quoted image]
That’s metal AF.
Id be in on a set too, but have no access to a scanner where I live. Keep us updated on when available
I can do it for you if you still need someone.
Nevermind, I read the post and missed the first line! Lol

I'll give them one more week,and then I'm calling my credit card company.

Don’t bother waiting , Pinbits is done , Nothing from them in over a year.

I wouldn't bother, just call now. Your order isn't gonna be filled.
PayPal gave them TWO months to respond. Nothing.
Quoted from cosmokramer:I know chances are slim in the club thread, but posting this anyway...

Holy SH1T that looks bright 
Nice pickup!
Quoted from KSUWildcatFan:Holy SH1T that looks bright
I still have incandescent in mine, I guess it’s time for me to get with the program! Haha.
Quoted from newpinbin:Interested to see the playfield condition. Could you send some photos?
i see some dimples.. the chip on the scoop is over 4 years old and hasn't grown. I have the cliffy but have never installed it.

Yeah, shitty cell phone in a dark room.
Anybody have suggestions for some kick ass side blade art?
I don't want to use mirrors on this one...
Im glad to have this game back in my collection, it was the first game I ever bought NIB (2013) and I had to sell 3 years ago to buy a house and have wanted to replace it ever since...
Quoted from cosmokramer:Anybody have suggestions for some kick ass side blade art?
I have the creeping death side art on mine and like it.

Good things come to those who wait and put the word out. Ok maybe it didn't come to you, you drove (500 miles max) as fast as you could. Good find.
Thanks! I tried this out today and it seems to work after a quick game test. I barely heated the center of the drop and applied a small amount of pressure to the top of the drop pushing it forward. So far so good.
I thought I’d post here first.
2 metallica translites.
1 old guys, with the left edge missing a little (see pics). I didnt notice when instslled.
1 monsters, no issues at all.
$90 shipped for the pair, cash, check, paypal friend

Glad mine hasn't done that cause I love that mod
i like this Translite
And i liked the Pro one too. I have Both but nothing wrong with the Real Guys One at all.
I actually like it better than the Monsters one that just has to much going on. But The Pro translite is awesome for the game because it matches the playfield art And Framed the Real One and hung it up. Lovin It
Quoted from LOTR_breath:Wow! It's the Lars "beaver tooth huge forehead" edition.
Quoted from diamondfate9:Glad mine hasn't done that cause I love that mod
I made my own and drilled a hole inside a pillar and inserted a hex post. You'd need to snap my pillar before mine with crumble.
I have to change out my slings tomorrow as I noticed both of mine are torn 1/2 and don’t have much life left. Just wanted to say Good call on the purple - I like it. Sorry no clue on where those others go....
Quoted from OutlawTorn304:I’m swapping the rubber in my pro and have extra rings it seems. I put the 2 1/4” on the slingshots and still have these 2” left over. Any ideas where they go?
[quoted image][quoted image]
I believe those are extras in case you want to tighten up the sling shots.
Quoted from Dee-Bow:I believe those are extras in case you want to tighten up the sling shots.
Dee-Bow thank you. I had that thought but wasn’t for sure.
Quoted from embryon:I made my own and drilled a hole inside a pillar and inserted a hex post. You'd need to snap my pillar before mine with crumble.
Great idea!
Quoted from boogies:When I bought my premium, the seller hooked me up with the band member Funko POP collection to make a topper. I finished it last night.
Looks cool but Lars needs a drumset.... he looks lost holding the sticks with nothing to use them on!
Quoted from cosmokramer:Yeah, shitty cell phone in a dark room.

You gotta get the power blades. They are incredible.
Quoted from NightTrain:You gotta get the power blades. They are incredible.
I like the power blades,but it looks like it'll be a tight fit on my game,and I'd be afraid of scratching them when I lift the playfield?

Get the game blade protectors from Pinball life and you’ll be fine

Thank you!

Yeah, the wife saw those and said thats what she wants. Now I gotta find some...
Quoted from ralphs007:Thank you!
Save yourself $33 and use 2 pieces of construction paper...I have been using it for years to protect mirror blades and it works just as well
The power blades look so awesome, just a shame they interfere with some machines (mine being one of them).
Quoted from Jamesays:new to me today

Wow , just awesome!!!
Thought I'd share my progress on the custom Met plastic protectors...
Question for those interested, what is the preferred color? I was thinking purple, but have seen/heard others say orange/fluorescent green/etc. I will need to settle on a single color for these though (transparent of course). They create such a funky shape that I won't be able to lay them out efficiently and will eat up a quite a chunk of material.
Also, huge shout out to finnflash for helping me in this process.
They will still need some stabilizing pieces added, such as on the "C", but you get the idea.
Hope y'all like them!
