    I added more behind the back box LED flashers today. My wife help me to make a gameplay video and I'm thinking that I don't want to sell now.
    I'd be interested in trading up for another Bally Williams or possibly a Stern plus cash as needed.

    Just out of curiosity, how did you add the LED to back of the machine? Sounds like a fun mod.

    I wire them up just like an Undercab kit, hooked up to the flashers. It's just located behind the backbox.
    I always replace all incandescent Flasher with LEDs first, to reduce the amperage

    XMen LE is a seriously underrated game.
    It has an insane light show and tons of toys/features.
    I sold a Magneto and repurchased a Wolvie.
    Another cool mod for this game it lighting up the X-Insert and ramps with the GI
    I also LOVE the Fatpanda music / voice remix
    They don't come up for sale often anymore.
    I'm sure there will be an xtremely happy buyer

    Thanks man! That lighting upgrade is tight. I agree very underrated pin. This is my second one as well & last to go. I sold many top pristine pins before I let go of this one. Many probably would want to slap some sense into me if they knew the other pins that left prior. I can’t help it I just love it.

    If anyone has an early Bally that is toast (1979 - 1985) I would be interested. I would like to make a template for a cabinet - that is what I would be using it for. No need for any electronics etc. Thanks!

    I put Pinitech LED displays in my power play. In my opinion, looks awesome. Just a thought.

    So we're moving to Texas in the next couple months and I have a few things to part with. I have a project Eros One cocktail table that is free to a good home as well as two Wico dollies which both need work (also free). I'd hate to toss these into the dumpster before we have to go but moving them really is not worth it. Pics attached.

    Quoted from shovelhed:

    Anyone local have a update from Pam at pinbits? Are they officially done?

    A couple weeks ago, I went to war with paypal to get a refund for an order that went ignored... They're very obviously not handling any part of their business.
    It doesn't make any sense, as a successful home business, they were even pandemic proof! oh well, pinballdecals.com makes most of what Pam did, they are still at it!

    #6777 2 years ago

    Last week I worked David at UpKickPinball in Houston to MAKE some custom plastic for a RollerCoasterTycoon mod. He can copy anything you have and can even work from a drawing if thats all you have. His laser cut plastic with polished edges look amazing! It took him 5 days to review my drawing, send a proof image, cut the plastic and send it to me via USMAIL and arrived at my door!

    I've been trying here and there to get ahold of Pam to see if they have any ToM ramp flaps and nada.. Which is sad, they made some really great items.

    In the mean time, I am testing a waterjet cnc to do my flaps, so far so good!

    Cliffy also has the ability to make flaps (and has a bunch already) if your DIY project doesn't yield the results you want.

    Same. Went months without any communication, and requested a refund through paypal which has been equally lengthy. Best to avoid.

    This is excellent! I have a custom set of plastics that I need made and this fits the bill.

    Looking for some help from an owner of a Dealer's Choice or Lucky Ace.

    I'm fixing up a machine with no plastics at all. If someone could take pics of their plastic I would much appreciate it.

    Happy Flipping!

    Funny I was in the car and on my way.. when i had messaged him he said no offers. I thought he meant he had received no offers and was I excited.. then he told
    Me the price is firm . Honestly I will overpay for a title I want... to a point.
    He said he stays away from Pinside so i thought maybe someone here knew him and could get it for a reasonable price. Thanks

    It is very difficult considering buying a machine from someone who ends their price with "99"....lol

    #6787 2 years ago

    Not like it’s a super sought after title either. It’s too bad. That’s a title I haven’t seen often. And I’d pay well over pinside avg. But he was not warm and fuzzy at all

    If Cliffy doesn’t have interest in making them you can try Mantis Amusements.

    Yes, it was. I have played about 20 games (and got high score #3 after making it to the wizard mode the 2nd time)
    It's a BEAUTIFUL machine, but I think I'd end up enjoying something else more. If I was more of a collector than a player, I'd be smarter and not let beauties like this go.
