Those comet flashers will work for the Sparky Flashers. I put Ice Blue in mine to give it a more electric look.

Quoted from TronGuy:I (just me) think lcd looks stupid. Led for me and its awesome!
I normally would say this is an unnecessarily rude comment...but it's true 
I'm 100% fine with people liking LCD or LED or whatever, but when I see the "blurry" LCD that's the best phrasing I've never previously considered. It looks "stupid" to me as an upgrade. But again, that's just me.
Quoted from swampfire:You always have the option of using DOTSXL with the LCD. I went that way with GOTLE.
I had dots xl on GOT and switched to regular dots recently.. it somehow makes the scenes seem more detailed to me.
LCD gives you multiple options. The often claimed extra brightness of the LED doesn't seem like a great thing to me honestly. That can present more glare on the glass.
Quoted from Roostking:Got my FUEL lights mod installed today, thanks PinMonk. It's a no brainer.

I hope you got the coil dust wiped off first!
Yeah, this was my first light filter bracket and is still one of the most obvious ones. Really improves the game look. Thanks for sharing the install!

I was certainly not trying to be rude, hence the (just me comment).
I know some guys think an lcd is an upgrade in an arcade game as well. It absolutely, 100% is NOT.

Agreed, replacing a CRT with an LCD is a big downgrade. But replacing a red monochrome LED display with color LCD? That’s an upgrade to most of us.

Are you sure?! Might look better with plain black plastic knob…..
Has anyone tried a different color T-molding on their Metallica? Mine has the factory chrome. I was thinking about switching it out to Black or maybe purple. I'm not a chrome fan.
If you've changed yours out and could share a picture, that would be awesome!

Went black
Huge improvement I think!

WizPanel/Speaker cover.
Doesn’t fit my Metallica.
I have a Monsters Premium.
Anyone interested, make me a fair offer and it’s yours.
[quoted image]
That has the square holes and only fits the original early runs of premium and pros with the wooden back box. I have an early run premium with the square speaker cut outs.
Yea. Mine has the round speakers.
I made a mistake, so doesn’t fit.
Went a little crazy while also ordering for my Maiden & Aerosmith lol

Looks great! I’m going to go that route. How many feet did you need?

No problem, it really wasn't rude. It's amazing to me though that something one person thinks is horrible, someone else thinks is an upgrade. And that's ok! Just think of Metallica's music - the general public generally either loves or hates it. And that's ok too!
Quoted from NightTrain:Looks great! I’m going to go that route. How many feet did you need?
I have the older square wood box and it took right at 9’ to do.
Sold in 20’ mostly so you’ll have plenty. I bought on eBay for $7.99 and like $7 shipped
3/4”
Quoted from Kkoss24:Looking for some help .I’ve been looking for the Sparky flasher lamps (premium version not sure if they’re different ) .I have a bunch of backup lamps that came with it but not these and do not see them in Marcos catalog or anywhere else Ive been looking .
This is what it calls for but it’s just a 13v wedge base (906). You can use the ones you sent screenshots of but a 5SMD wedge base 906 would probably be the closest
image (resized).jpgimage (resized).jpgI see that broken Sparky feet are pretty common and replacement Sparkys are not. Mine Sparky currently has perfect feet. Is there a way to keep them that way other than not playing the game?
Quoted from NightTrain:Looks great! I’m going to go that route. How many feet did you need?
Not sure if you have the older or newer version but this is for the newer metal box, took 12' to be exact because you have to go all the way around the sides, not just the front. I got 20' also in case something went wrong, but very easy install, and looks much better with the black IMO
Yeah I've got the newer vault version. I order 20' since that was the minimum anyhow. Should be good to go!

Hi all,
Since owning my NIB premium I’ve always had the mystery scoop issue where the ball immediately kicks out without awarding extra ball or going to CIU… eventually it does but not when it should.
I know about Service Bulletin #186
It doesn’t actually tell you how to adjust this switch…lol.
Can anyone shed some light please?
I’ve tried pushing it, bending so it protrudes more into the scoop, alas did not help.
The switch is fine, it clicks and ejects the ball.
Cheers.

Bend it some more
^^^^^ Thanks dudes
Awesome, you were all correct. I hadn't bent it enough.
More bend so the arm protrudes more inside the scoop has done the trick.
First time ever getting FB + CIU 1st attempt
What a difference to game play.
Thanks again.
Quoted from dnapac:Met left today. Never thought we’d sell, but space, and the addiction continues. Valhalla is coming soon. Thanks for all the good times. We will play it on location.
That's the thing MET is everywhere. Good luck and send up some reviews. Also cool you are supporting AP
Quoted from dnapac:Met left today. Never thought we’d sell, but space, and the addiction continues. Valhalla is coming soon. Thanks for all the good times. We will play it on location.
Wow, I’ve played Valhalla and it’s nowhere near the same level as MET. I hope you can get your MET back…

Sorry... I'd probably wake up every night in a cold sweat, knowing my MET was gone......
My Met Prem will be the very last pin to leave.
I was so lucky to pick up a NIB two years ago. I nearly sold my Tron LE a few weeks ago, had a few sleepless nights thinking about it.
Somethings in life just aren't for sale.
Borg + Sheats - I salute you
Thank you FilamentPrinting
They all look great. Arrived today,
Couldn’t wait to install lol.
