Quoted from transprtr4u:Any other No Fear owners have Pre drilled mini post holes in their playfield? My first one didn't have it and this one does ?

Per Steve Ritchie, if I am remembering this right, the early run of PFs had the hole drilled as he originally planned for the post to be there. During play testing the games lasted to long so they removed it from production but they had already begun manufacturing the PFs. Solution was to plug it on the ones already made.

Yeah pretty standard. It stages a ball there and after time the opto will have issues from being attached to the VUK. Had to replace mine last year also.

Has been in a home since 1999 and has NO FADE! Outrageous !

thx.. that's good to know. I had a friend help diagnose it and he thinks the same.. have parts in now and installing this week
Quoted from GeekedOnPinball:What other mods have people done?
[quoted image]
When I bought the game it had those two mods, and I took them off 
I always find it interesting how much people like...or don't like...toys on the playfield like that.
Quoted from setzkor:I guess I'm officially out of the club [quoted image]
Yikes ! Looks like your better off ! 
Quoted from mollyspub:Yikes ! Looks like your better off !
Possibly, but there is a beautiful freedom to playing a game with a great playfield and trashed cab. Flipper wear? Sure, bring it on... Dinged it with the beer bottle? Oops...oh well...
On another note, glad to see you found yours. Looks great!
Quoted from Gorgar666:Where you get the side blades?
A friend from overseas. I'd have to check with him to see if he's willing to do more
Quoted from mollyspub:The newest No Fear club member is...ME!

That's the aftermarket art work. Someone changed it. The black line on the bottom gives it away that's why the colors are so nice Side blades are nice.

These haven't been changed at any point.
Quoted from mollyspub:These haven't been changed at any point.
I've never seen a factory one with that black line on the bottom. That's the reproduced 2.0 art.
Quoted from transprtr4u:Not cheating when the game is set up that way , I will always use the "start challenge "
My strategy also.
Quoted from mollyspub:Didn't take your guys advice yet but managed to get my best score to date !
Haha ..almost identical to my High Score...
Congratulations
Can anyone confirm if there are metal washers on the top of the metal shaft for the jump ramp flipper? I didn't see these in the manual. I recently replaced the metal shaft and rebuilt the flippers. Now at times when hitting the jump ramp the ball will fly off hitting the glass or fly off the ramp all together! I'm guessing someone added these at some point but I'm not sure why.

Anyone???
Quoted from Gorgar666:WTF? Where did you get that?
Found the image had my decal girl make the decal, good friend cut the acrylic. Still to come is a flasher for the back to tie into Bonehead on the playfield.
Could have been a touch smaller but it doesn't offend me !
Quoted from transprtr4u:Could have been a touch smaller but it doesn't offend me !
I think it's a great size. Pretty sweet looking...

Quoted from transprtr4u:Added More Fear to No Fear

I mean, it's nice but I don't think it's better than mine...

And by better, I mean cheaper.
So I'm thinking this winter I'd like to replace the art work on my badly faded No Fear. Who has the best out there? I was thinking on going with these...

You could sell yours and buy mine. It has almost no fade. A very nice original example.
