I just acquired a Metallica pro. Both orbits keep getting rejected by the white post up top? Shouldn’t that post drop down after you do skill shot? Anyone else having this issue or know how to fix it? It really kills the flow of the game. Thank you for any help.
I thought a MET owner may like this. PM me if interested.
because it comes with an installation kit.
Quoted from mattosborn:Why wouldn’t they just buy the belt buckle off of eBay for $14 shipped?
Does anyone have any extras of the premium/LE plastics that are along both sides of the Playfield they would sell? I need the two plastics where the two spinners are. Thank you!

Quoted from Shredso:I'm surprised someone hasn't at least made a printable template so we can cut the Pro plastics. It's what has been holding me back from installing my spinners..
Yup, that’s what I need the premium/LE plastics for. I’m afraid to cut mine.
Hey all, I purchased this Cemetery mod from Hoby1 on Pinside. I just installed it. Wow, what a cool mod and super easy to install. And very good quality.

It has ZERO mods on it. I was considering adding both the COLOR DMD and SHAKER MOTOR, do you guys think they're worth it? I realize it's all subjective but for those who invested in them, are you glad you did?
Yes and yes!
Quoted from hoby1:I’m sorry there was any confusion about my price point on the cemetery archs. The second of my prototypes I posted for 47 dollars shipped to get a real world feel for install and price point from the buyer. With no help he said it was a perfect installation and took 10 minutes.
I’m glad many of you like my work but there is no way I can sell this mod for 47
shipped. That said I would sell it unpainted at that price
Non painted 47 shipped
Painted 77 shipped in the USA
Takes me about 2 hours to assemble and paint besides printing , wire , leds , resistor , mounting pin and DS tape ,heatshrink and clips at my cost with shipping in the US is about 20 dollars.
I also like to barter so if interested LMK
If you would like one and I am working on a few this weekend.

Every other lighted mod out there is $99 or more. I don’t think $75 shipped is too crazy of a price At all for your mod. The paint job is top notch too. In fact, people are charging $99 or more just to have their medieval madness dragons custom painted. Custom painting takes a lot of time. Time is money. That’s reality. Keep up the good work Allen!
Quoted from hoby1:Hayfarmers is done
Response once has been excellent so please be patient as I only have one printer and so much time.
Thx Allen[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Awesome job Allen! This mod really ads to the theme. Especially the graveyard portion of the Playfield!! The paint job is stellar too!
Quoted from Snailpin:Hey guys I'm getting a Metallica Pro LED and I got some options to have mods installed before delivery, which one of the following would you recommend? Thanks!
1. Metallica Pro Coffin Insert (It adds 3 skulls to the coffin on the playfield, these are also lit from below)
2. Metallica Shooter Lane Protector
3. Metallica Sparky Anti Airball Plastic
4. Metallica Pinball Sparky Electrocution Helmet Mod (kinda expensive, like 50 bucks)
5. Metallica Pinball Snake Fangs Mod
6. Metallica Pinball Snake Mouth Decal
7. Coffin Pinball Mod
All of em!! Sparky helmet is only question mark for me. I could go either way. The rest are pretty affordable.
So, I installed translucent drop targets to replace the MET grave drop targets. I’m going to use an LED strip to light them up and make them glow. However, the drop targets are not working now? I wrapped electrical tape around the tab where the opto is, so the opto would work correctly. I tried the same technique with my deadpool translucent drop targets I installed and it worked great. However, the MET translucent drop targets don’t pop up at the start of a game or if you knock them down. Any idea what the issue could be? I was very careful with putting the drop target mech back together exactly how it’s supposed to and double checked that all the connectors are plugged in. Thanks for any help you can give me...
Quoted from RobF:In general this is right, but is not correct for the drop target optos on Met. The sensor board uses proximity sensors that do work on reflection back to the receive sensor that is on the same chip package as the transmitter.
So, what is the fix? Remove the electrical tape? Thank you.
That was it! Thanks Robf and others. I took off the electrical tape and mounted white paper on the opto plastic pieces. Works perfect! Thank you!! I can’t wait to light these drop targets up now!!
I installed these translucent drop targets from pinball-mods.com. They are borderline unbreakable. I lit them up with LED strips below the Playfield. They came out better than I thought they would.

And where did you tap into? I think it looks great, just ordered the drop targets for my MET.
I just used comet led strips Under the Playfield and tied into nearby GI. Comet sells a 3-way splitter, so you can tie all three strips together. Makes it a cleaner install. I will say, you’ve gotta get creative to make the leds work because they need to be facing up towards the bottom of the Playfield. I manipulated a few “L” brackets and some heavy duty mounting tape to get them to stay solid and so I could install led strips so they are facing up, towards the bottom of the Playfield, specifically right below each drop target.
Quoted from JDub03:Thank you, do you happen to have a picture? I installed the drops last night, figured I would order some Comet strips today. Also, did you paint the side tabs of the targets so the opto would see them, mine aren’t registering. Thanks again for sharing!
So, you have to put any kind of white tape on the side tabs so the optos register. Also, I tried to take a picture of the led strips and it really just didn’t work. It’s too tight of a space to get a good picture. I stuck L brackets inside the drop target mech with mounting tape and stuck the led strips on them so they faced up towards the Playfield. You just gotta get creative. There’s no simple way of explaining it. Unfortunately.
Quoted from Lermods:We use a 3-d printed mount that tilts to help shine the light up through the playfield. We use our own led strip to produce the light. The mount adheres to the metal bracket just behind the drop targets. Seems to work well. I used red.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Very cool!!! Nice work!!
