I like what you guys are thinking here.

Unfortunately ..YES it does block the pop bumpers a bit.. We did try different shapes sizes and variations and this is the best version we came up with. I think in the end you will see the trade-off is well worth the slight obstructive view.

However , I am looking forward to what you guys come up with ..MOD for a MOD.. ..

Quoted from Robertstone0407:

Decided to powdercoat my wireform so that it looks like the snakes tail. It looks pretty good. Contact me if your interested

Nice work !

I also created a do it yourself video on how to do this with spray media if anyones interested.

The clear coat does a nice job of sealing the paint and texture..so really held up well. I did see one or two little chips after I first installed but that was just excess paint that I missed really.

Hi all
I would like to address the issues mentioned above
There have been some reported issues with Sparky going off.
The last I counted it was two. Everytime the fix was just replacing the EL box.
If you read the instructions included with the set. The first line states the following:

READ ME
By installing this modification, you understand that every pinball machine is created differently.

With that being said..we have sold a few hundred of the MET PowerBladez.. When it comes down to it, every machine is unique in its own way. Is your machine wired differently somehow? Maybe? Is there something else like another mod interfering in some way? Possibly. It's very hard for us to diagnose your game when it is not in house here in the studio.

Trust me.. this one is very puzzling to us as well. We have a MET here with them installed and we cannot recreate this no matter what we try.

I have been working hard to resolve the issue with Numskull and I did send another power cord just the other day. Hoping this works. If not then guess I will have to give a refund. No worries. Nothing is perfect. And I want to thank him for being patient!

Speaking of which..snake mod.. Once again.. same thing.. Tolerances go rampid during manufacturing.. or you may just have gotten a bad one.. No worries. we will send you a new one.

In any case.. I do support my products and I have been on PInside for 6+ years. We always try to do the right thing. Some folks (btw by no means referring to Graysons Dad but in general) are never satisfied no matter how hard we sometimes bend over backwards. It's just part of THE business. And that's with any business. however..if you do a search you will see most love all of our innovative products that we create.

I would be happy to take the MET PowerBladez back for I have another cipboard full of orders that need to be fufilled.
Once again..no worries.. you do what you think is best.

Most of all I appreciate the feedback and your support.
Have a good evening

Quoted from Psw757:

Joined the club today..finally
Is there an optimum sound/speaker setting in the settings to get the volume of the music up a little bit.
Some of the songs seem a little uneven.
Some pinball eye candy added.. Creeping Death lighting and blades are friggin unreal.[quoted image][quoted image]

Looks great! Glad to see you are enjoying our PinGraffix products!
Creeping Death PinBlades are the most popular item and the most sold Inner art blades ever made

Sorry a few of you are having some issues.

What it really comes down to is this..every game is unique. All games at the Stern Factory and hand built.
Just like every car made, every dishwasher machine and every refridgerator . No two are exactly the same. Tolerances..different parts ... different wiring.. who installed it.. yada yada yada...so many factors involved.

We have had many METS in and out of the studio and we have not seen this in person ever nor have we been able to recreate it. With that being said... PinGraffix has sold over hundreds of sets of MET and somewhere near 1000 sets of our other Power Blades Products. Including AFM, SW, LOTR, AC/DC DIALED IN, IRON MADIEN and more .

If you have having please contact me directly at [email protected]

I will do everything within my power to resolve the issue one way or another.

Best

Quoted from Dallas_Pin:

graysonsdad and joeraptor2003:
Update: My Sparky registering hits was NOT related to the PowerBlades; it turns out a Sparky Helmet mod (Mezel Mods) went bad which would cause Sparky to register even though the ball(s) were nowhere near him. It ties into the spot lights ... This issue took forever to track down.

And there you go...
YES! thanks for mentioning this. This goes back to every machine is unique / Some Mods do conflict with each other. It's really case specific. Thank you for posting this up. It will be very helpful moving forward.

+10 points for you..

Quoted from Kkoss24:

Hey Joe .I’ve ordered from you multiple times and will always as you guys rock .I’m trying to find info on settings as I purchased that pin in the post above with them installed already .I have a small button controller that I’m not sure if it’s for the blades or not .After seeing these live now I want them for my IMDN but want to understand them first .If you can send something to me I’d appreciate it and to all Met owners look long and hard at these as the videos do not do it Justice .They add so much !

Hey thanks for kind words. I am not familiar with that device so it's definitely not part of the PowerBladez setup.

Quoted from Anony:

It looks like a few stores have it in stock but I only need the decal, not the whole kit so seeing if there is an opportunity to save some money.
I assume Pingraffix is going to take care of it, I just haven't heard back from them yet.

HI Corrie
I replied to your e-mail. Sending out as we speak. Sorry about that.

Quoted from BigalzPinz:

Do you have Powerbladez installed ? On some machines the Bladez interfere with the optos and set off Sparky and drop targets randomly. I had to take them off my machine as others have, with no known cure. Usually on the later run machines

Yes this is true, but it can be adjusted. You have to check the alignment of the optos around the feet of Sparky and also the rising cross. If one of the optos is crooked, it will pick up the flashing form the PowerBladez. Therefore triggering Sparky. Also I have seen the same thing happen with the El (aftermarket mod) wire to Sparky's head do this as well.
