Quoted from MJW:

Wow. I never knew Stern would replace a playfield that is fully populated. Is this normal practice when there is a problem? I always thought if they sent a playfield it was unpopulated. I have no issues on mine, just curious.

They are sending my new populated playfield Monday and will have it Wednesday. It sure would have been nice to have it over thanksgiving break.

#12091 6 years ago

The Matt McKee met topper is awesome if you can find one. I got the last one a couple years ago.

#12112 6 years ago

Just dropped my new playfield in and put back on my mods. Holy crap, Stern hooked me up. This playfield is beautiful and plays so much better than my original. Dialed in perfect. Was thinking about selling but changed my mind. Keeping for a bit longer.

Quoted from delt31:

I just installed the spinners from hooked and added the total light show spinner sound board. Wow - what a great mod. Along with the total light show it's a huge difference but I'm also a premium owner previously. Really missed the little things and this really hits home. What a mod.

How difficult was the spinner mod to install?

Quoted from mattosborn:

Ho, ho, ho... here's a holiday freebie.
I wasn't happy with the uneven lighting of the four lights (cross, electric chair switch, coffin, and snake) down by the flippers. So I designed a light holder for all four lights that centers them on their inserts so you get even illumination.

I left off the holes on the mounting tabs because it appears that Stern was not very precise/consistent about where they screwed in the 4 light mounts. So I leave it up to you to drill the bracket where you want them. I was able to use one of the existing screw holes on my playfield (and carefully tapped a new hole for the other side). Also, to make printing easier, the mounting tabs are thicker than the originals, so you'll have to use screws that are ~1/4" longer.
Just remove the four old light mounts that are haphazardly screwed in, and replace with the new one-piece holder. Clip your lights in and you're done.
Here's a pic of the old mounts and the new printed replacement:

You can download the STL file from my site if you'd like to print your own: http://scoresaves.com/pinball/Met_4-lights.7z
I've printed up an extra one. First person to reply here can have it for free. I pay shipping.

I will take.it

Quoted from Fezmid:

I was just browsing PBL, and noticed they have a Monsters translite for $60 if anyone's interested. There's a minor imperfection on it apparently.
https://www.pinballlife.com/seconds-metallica-premium-monsters-translite.html

This is the translight I have on mine. What is the monsters version? just a different translight?

#18025 3 years ago

I picked up a premium after 2 years of not having a MET in my collection. I forgot how good this game is and really liking the premium upgrades from the pro.

#18027 3 years ago
Quoted from Colsond3:

I joined the club (again) about two months ago! Forgot to post. Back in with an ultra sweet Promium that gorillabiscuits used to own and upgraded the hell out of. Has every Prem feature pretty much other than the hammer.
Monsters translite signed by Borg, custom Sparky painted by Dirty Donny, total light show, custom apron, color DMD, spinners, interactive speaker panel, shaker, etched armor, etc.
Also has a very cool snake bony / anatomy ramp mod that I’ve only seen once or twice before.

Quoted from Hayfarmer:

Ya gb was crazy. Kiss topper just sold on ebay for 2600!

I was over at a friends shop today and he had a stack of stern toppers in stock. Kiss, black knight, star wars and more. I think I counted 5 black knight toppers. I thought about robbing him and making a fortune on ebay.

#18050 3 years ago
Quoted from Shredso:

I'm thinking about leaving the club. I have a heavily modded original owner HUO wood backbox Pro. It has Color DMD, shaker, Total Light Show, Pinwoofer sound system, spinners, LEDs, external volume control, Pinnovators headphone kit, mirror blades, titan rings, skull flipper protectors and a bunch of other little things. I think I may make out better if I pulled the Color DMD, Pinwoofer and Total light show and sold those separately. That's well over a grand in mods right there. What would you guys value it in today's market?

Might be interested in total light show if you sell it separately

#18070 3 years ago
Quoted from Jon9508:

Joined the club today with a prem. Time to read all 362 pages.

enjoy. I had to bring one back to the collection it is so good.

Quoted from Lethal_Inc:

My right side decal on the back box has been peeling away for some time now. I already received replacement decals but just wondering how they get applied. Do I just remove the old decal, clean the surface, then peel and apply the new decal?

I had a MET do this. clean surface and you can actually put them on with the wet method. spray it down with windex and put the decal on, get it placed corre cttly and squeeqy out the windex. Done. I put all my decals on with windex.

Quoted from mikespins:Not the power blades, I have those already. I meant these lightening rails.

Steve did those but not sure he makes them anymore. If he does I might be interested in a set.

Quoted from Roostking:

Gotg is the exact same layout. Shot geometry is no different than MET

same layout but MET does it so much better. The inline drops are the shiz

#18614 2 years ago
Quoted from swampfire:

Here are some pics I just took of mine. Does anyone have a snake that still has both of its factory fangs? There weren’t many made, and I bet they’re all snaggle-toothed like mine.
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

I never knew they did factory fangs on the snake. Must have been very few done that way.

Quoted from maffewl:

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!
