Hi. Just joined the club. Pretty nice Monopoly in general. Last owner installed a money decal on the back board and side art. I did some lighting adds. Pop bumper rings, light strips in the outhole and across the rear. All star posts lit up. Scoop and hole lights.

There are 2 things that stand out like a sore thumb on this game. The 2 black diverter covers. They have to go.

If anyone have a 3D printer, maybe print a large green house as a replacement? I see files on thingaverse. Hotel would probably be too tall to fit under the glass.

Any other ideas? Car or Battleship tokens could also work?

Hey Chris. I scoured the internet when I got my Monopoly and I didn’t see anyone changing their pop caps to another color. I like to experiment with different cap colors on games but I thought the Monopoly ones were nice with clear and red.

If you try some others please post some pics.

Has anyone found jumbo size dice to make a shooter rod?

Looking for 32mm or 1.25” dice. Tough to find white with black pips.

The only dice I see on AliExpress are 25mm /1 inch. That is kinda small.

Was in a one off Dollar Store and found some jumbo white resin dice. 1.25” and 1.5”. Tried them both for shooter rods. I think I like the 1.25”.
Tough to see the scale in the pictures between the two sizes.

Drilled a 3/8” hole right in the 1 pip. Put a sparing amount of 5 min epoxy in the hole. Hammered the knurled end of the shooter rod into the hole. 10 minutes and done.

Less than $1 mod. Some dollar store stickers and a shot of white spray paint. Dice for speakers.

Borrowing an idea from the other members in the club. Added some dice to the top of the long inlane studs.

Adding tokens or in my case dice, cuts down on any balls inadvertently bouncing over the guide and draining. Nothing worse than a drain that was totally out of your control and not suppose to happen.

Took an brand new 1/8” drill bill and just drilled on the corner of the die. The dice I bought at the buck store almost had a small flat spot of each corner. I couldn’t clamp it in the vice very well so I just held them and drilled. The hole drilled was just right to self tap right on top of the stud.

The drill size was an experiment and it just worked out fine. I would have looked up the proper drill/tap chart but I was lazy.

Looks great. Next step I recommend it to light up those blue posts. I just lit up the blue ones on my Popeye.

Do you have any suggestions on what to do with the ugly black covers on each ramp? They are the last eyesore to fix.

There is a service bulletin about the sound on monopoly. You need to check the values of the resistors.

You have to confirm that your board actually has the wrong resistor values. My monopoly has the correct values and it is a factory board, no work done to it.

No sense sending out a board for no reason.

Added a yellow Williams start button. To light it up, just tied the wiring into the coin door coin lights. The start button is constantly lit up.

I have only noticed a bug during the Land Grab Wizard mode. Don’t know what triggers it. It will reset the display showing text like when you first start up the game. Also changes the game display from free play to credits. Never noticed any other bugs during game play.

Every 5th time through all attract mode scenes / screens it will show the 10 top ten scores and a few other select screens.
