Hello All - Just joined the club and bought a fully moded 2017 Pro this weekend - Incredible game!!! I took out the snake body mod as it covered up some of the playfield and the pop bumper it covered is missing some parts.

PLEASE HELP - I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction so I can buy a new orange Metallica pop bumper cap and LED light. Did a google search and couldn't find what I needed Any suggestions/ Links are welcome. thank you!

Edit - Just purchased the mod set so I'm ok.

#18521 2 years ago

Got the LZ and my new Metallica Rockin in my new room. Both opposite game styles and both are great in their own way. Metallica LED is F’n awesome. Dog doesn’t mind the rockin tunes at all...

Purchased the cemetery gate mod recently on my new pro knowing that it is most likely not compatible with the ultimate light show mod I have on mine. Still think it looks great unlit, but is there any workaround to get it to light up? Tried using the standard directions with alligator clips with no success. Any tips appreciated...

#18645 2 years ago

Thank you - I will try it again today.

#18647 2 years ago

Thank you - I just tried that exact way and it is still not working. It does say on the item description that it is not compatible with the ultimate light show mod, so it looks like I’m outta luck. I appreciate the tips - thanks again.

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....

I’m no expert by any means, but Just looked at my Metallica and mine looks flat and nothing like that. I also would stay away from that one.

Trying to install a trough light - need to find a bayonet styleGI - all of mine are the wedge base. Any guidance?

#19245 2 years ago
Quoted from DudeRegular:

Slings or Lane guides should all be bayonet. Which version of MET do you have?

I have a 2018 Pro Led version I bought used. The lane guides are all the wedge style. It has the ultimate light show mod installed (not too sure exactly what that is) and I don’t see any bayonet GI’s.

#19247 2 years ago
Quoted from Lermods:

The bulbs under the sling shots and along the flippers are all #44 style bulbs, also on the outside. Stern didn’t change lighting design across games, just switched to led bulbs. Circled areas contain 44 bulbs.
[quoted image]

Appreciate you chiming in - all of those locations on my machine are all wedge style. I can’t find any bayonets. Perhaps my game was modded w wedge style for some reason.

#19250 2 years ago

Looks like my game was modded and this trough light isn’t compatible.

#19253 2 years ago
Quoted from Lermods:

Where did you get the trough light?
I have a later run led version and I have 44s under the slings.[quoted image]

From you - Lermods - through mezelmods

I’m not too well versed in the tech as I’m still learning. I do know there are two different styles - wedge and bayonet. There are no bayonet style led’s anywhere on my playfield.

#19255 2 years ago

Appreciate the response. I just found a set of alligator clips from another mod from them that I didn’t use. Gonna see if that will work

#19257 2 years ago

You guys are great. Appreciate the responses - got it working using my alligator clips.

So my fluorescent bulb In my back box was starting to go out recently and I’d have to wiggle it a tad for it to go on steady. Then a couple days ago it went completely out. My new one arrived yesterday and I Popped it in and it won’t light up. Is there something I’m missing or a way to troubleshoot? Driving me nuts!

#19293 2 years ago

Thank you - I have No clue on this stuff. I’ll take a look back there after work today.

#19295 2 years ago

If you have a moment, Any links to Amazon would be greatly appreciated

#19297 2 years ago

A ha! I’ll give it a go - Thank you very much.

#19299 2 years ago

You all are the best! Appreciate the tips.

#19308 2 years ago

So I bought a new fluorescent bulb as well as new starters and still nothing. Anything else I should be checking before I give up and just switch to LED’s as mentioned above.

#19310 2 years ago

As always, thank you Lermods!

I have a MET pro with the plastic apron bottom arch. Is it possible to upgrade to a nicer steel apron like I have on all my other games? I’d like to buy a purple powder coated one if possible as I’m going to powder coat my machine in the next few months.

Thank you!

Quoted from tilted81:

If the pic in the add looks familiar, it’s cause it’s mine my buddy made these and I think they rock. https://pinside.com/pinball/market/shops/1426-pinhead-mods/07191-pindefender-in-metallic-purple

These are exactly what I need! Just sent in an order for 5 of them - every one of my machines needs these. Thank you!

Gotta say I’m really happy with these protectors. Look great on Metallica and install took all of 3 minutes. Thank you Will!

Got it!!! Awesome topper tilttoppers!!! Best Metallica topper I’ve seen. Great quality, great communication, and only took a few weeks to deliver.
[quoted image][quoted image]

The previous owner and my Distributor could never get the spinners to work on My Pro when I bought it used. So I have 2 spinners in my game that don't do anything but spin - no sound effects or effects on scoring.

Would love to get them up and running but I'm clueless...way out of my league.

#20768 1 year ago

Big Thank you to Dan at Tilttopper. It’s badass.

Quoted from zermeno68:

Hell yeah!! So, do you know where you were in the list? I’m pretty much dead last, but just wondering how’s it’s going with production fulfilling orders.

I was towards the end of the line, so yours should be ready pretty soon I’d think.

Quoted from zpinman370:

Are these for sale or was this one a special order?? Does look badass I want one lol

I was told he just finished up the final run and I believe they were all spoken for. Worth a shot to reach out to him.

How is it no one has made a full coin door magnet Art for this game? Been waiting for one to pop up either at wizardmods or Inscribed Solutions, but no dice. I would think they would sell tons of these if done well…

#20946 11 months ago
Quoted from OutlawTorn304:

Got my topper plate finished and bolted on. I might change a few things later but for now I’m happy with it.
[quoted image]

Well done! I need to do something similar. It’s a peace of mind thing…the Velcro just makes me nervous!

Quoted from Cheeks:

Oh, and does anyone have a Pro translite laying around?

Hey there Cheeks - I’m not too far away from you - I have an extra pro translite I have in a lit frame and the 3-D snake mod piece for the ramp that I’m not using. I’d trade my pro for your premium if you want and we can work out something on the snake mod. I’ll take a picture of what I have after work today.

#21049 9 months ago

Cheeks - this is all I have for ya. No idea where the other piece went….

Yep - this is the one to get. All other toppers for Metallica pale in comparison to this one.

#21058 9 months ago

got mine a couple months ago. The 3M Stick pads it comes with seem VERY strong. No issues with mine so far - seems very Sturdy even with Nudging, but I would prefer a bolt-on method like that one guy made for himself. More of a peace of mind thing...

Hoping it’s a new version. I think the original Metallica is a great fun game, but it is also a very basic North/South game. Code was fun though. I had a pro for a while but traded it out recently based on rumors of a new one by next year. Hope the rumors are true - would love a new Metallica 2.0!
