Quoted from ss-pinball:

Has anyone done anything interesting with rubber color or translucency? I'd love to see some pics...
I see that Marco has a black rubber set? Anyone have any pics of that? (Any feedback on the black rubbers on other pins?)
Also, I'm not much for clown-vomit-looking pins, but I think that adding a little bit of color could make things pop on Meteor.
Anyone have some lighting they are proud of and want to show off?
(Ordering the repro backglass, so colored LEDs aren't necessary to help hide backglass flaws on this one).
Is there a deep preference in the group for the version of the backglass that is more desirable?

I mainly use clear Titans now for my pins.

Also added a couple of finishing touches to my Meteor restore from earlier this year

The new/original blue looks beautiful on the repro playfield. When you haven't seen the original colour you get used to it. I'm still coming around to restore my Fish Tales as new decals look so out of place to me, the orange is so bright!

Quoted from truemagoo102:

Found it! Looks like it says 10/13/79 - early-ish in the run, but not right in September. Anyone have a game produced earlier?

I have one from 9/28/79 with the red

Quoted from izzy:

i"ve done all the "fixes" on the Meteor drop targets and they still are not always resetting properly. New targets, cleaned and adjusted the frame. Added a thin piece of plastic on reset bar, tightened the springs, the coil tabs are all at 90 degree angles to the plate. Not sure if I missed anything.
Open to any suggestions. thx

Keep adjusting the coil tabs. Took me a while but the drops play beautifully on my Meteor.

Quoted from DJY2J:

Has anyone upgraded their displays to a color other than orange? Looking at changing up colors and want to see pics of Meteor specifically that have different color displays. Looking at the ones from XPin but not sure anything looks better than Orange with this particular game.

I like the white. You can also put colour gels over them to change them, but I have stuck with white.

Can get a better pic later if needed.
