Has anyone powder coated their wire forms? If so, color? Any pics? Thanks.

Has anyone had an issue with balls continually being shot into the shooter lane. System checks out ok. Maybe a software issue? I have the latest release but had no issues until yesterday. Thanks.

The issue was that the ninja balls became magnetized. Put the stock ones back in and no issue.
Quoted from dannunz:Keep an eye out for this rubber breaking. I took it all apart today and replaced it with 3 rubbers to beef it up. I’m not going to lie it was buried but took my time and was like a 1hr job.

I’ve had my for 3 weeks and it was about to break. I replaced with red tital rubber. Do you have a pick on what yours looks like now? Thanks.
Quoted from dannunz:Here you go.

Thanks. I went with red there as well.
Has anyone developed some trough lighting kits. I tried the Mezel mods one that is 5 volts but I don’t think the gi on the machine is enough.
Quoted from Filimurz:While stationed in Bitburg with the Army’s Hawk Missile Battery C in the early 70’s I awoke each morning to what smelled like over cooked green beans. Soon learned that was the Bitburg Pils brewery making their product. Must admit it was years later back home in the States before nostalgia got the better of me and I dared sample it. Pretty good, actually and good enough to adorn the keg in my Ofest.

Cool. What did you do to the posts?
Quoted from PeteUK:Can anyone point me in the right direction to get a good deal on a NIB ocktoberfest
Thanks all
I just got one a month ago from coin taker. I asked for a shaker on the house and they gave it to me. Free shipping as well. Love it. So far so Goudy.
Quoted from Pyromedic:Ok, its all about the little things, and this one thing I think OF! had to have.
Waited two months for this little guy to come from overseas lol. But now he looks down on my playfield just like he looks down on the Wiesn in Munich.
For anyone who has been, you are probably familiar with the story, but for the uninitiated here is the story of the Angel from Munich, the coolest Angel ever.
PROST!
----------------------------------------------------------An Angel from Munich------------------------------------------------
Alois Hingerl, porter No. 172 at Munich Central Station worked so energetically one day, that he just dropped dead.
Two little angels carried him to heaven with some difficulty where Saint Peter welcomed him and told him, that from now on his name would be Angel Aloisius.
He presented him with a harp and informed him of the heavenly house rules:
"… from eight in the morning until twelve noon, " he said, "you will jubilate, and from twelve noon until eight in the evening you will sing 'Hosannah'!"
"Wos is?" asked Aloisius.
"… from eight in the morning until twelve noon: jubilating. And from twelve noon until eight in the evening: singing 'Hosannah'!"
"So - hmhm - ja, and when do I get something z'trinka (drink) ?
"You will get your Manna in due time" said Saint Peter slightly annoyed, and left him.
"Auweh!" grumbled Angel Aloisius, ''that is going to be schö fad ! I should jubilate from eight to twelve… and I thought there was no work in heaven."
But he finally sat down on a cloud and began to sing as he was told, "Hallelujah! Hallelujah!!"
A very high-spirited intellectual angel come gliding by.
"Hey! You!" called Aloisius, ''how about some Schmaizla, a Pris? Geh weida let's have some!"
But the intellectual angel was revolted by this vulgar idea. He just whispered "Hosannah" and departed.
Aloisius became furious: ''Ja - what kind of a damischer Depp is this?" he shouted, "if you don't have any Schmaizla you just don't, right ? A man can expect a decent answer, can't he ? You gscherte Ruab'n, you ! Mai Liaba, what people they have up here ! A - A - what did I get into !"
And once more he sat down on his cloud and continued to jubilate - but his anger showed in his singing and he was shouting so loudly, that the Heavenly Father next door awoke from his afternoon nap and asked with astonishment: "From whence cometh this noise ?"
At once He sent for Saint Peter, who came running, and together they heard the scandalous jubilating of Angel Aloisius: ''Hallelujah - - - Sacklzementhallelujah ! Hallelujah !"
Saint Peter hurried away and dragged Aloisius before the Lord.
The Father looked at him a long time and then He spoke: "Oh, I see - - - an Angel from Munich ! That's what I thought ! Now tell me - - - what is all this shouting about ?"
That was exactly what Aloisius had been waiting for. He was so furious, that he started right out:
"I don't like all these things !"
"I don't like to have wings !!"
"I don't like to sing Hosannah !!"
"I don't like to drink Manna, instead of beer !"
"And let me make clear: I do not like to sing !!!"
"Saint Peter", said the Lord, "this will never do ! But I have an idea: We shall employ him as messenger conveying Our heavenly advice to the Bavarian Government. So he can fly to Munich once or twice a week - and his good soul will 'Rest in Peace'!"
When Aloisius heard this, he felt very happy indeed ! Soon he got his first delivery job - a letter - and flew down to earth.
And once again he felt the soil of Munich under his feet, it seemed to him, that now he was really in heaven.
And following his old habits, he immediately went to the Hofbräuhaus and found his accustomed place empty and waiting for him.
And good old Kathi, the waitress, was still there and he ordered a Maß (Liter) of beer. And he forgot his letter and his job and ordered another Maß, and another, and still another one . . .
. . . and he just sat and is still sitting there today.

Cool. Where did you get it?
Got my ramps and coin door back from Matt at Back Alley. He does great work. Game looks so good with powder coated ramps. Also added Titan rubber, colored nuts, pin stadiums and straw covers for the posts. Loving the game.

Curious how the powder coat will stand up to wear and tear from the balls... Overall a pretty remarkable makeover for your #Ofest
Much appreciated. I have them on other games and so far so good with lots of plays. Matt at Back Alley does great work.
Quoted from DakotaMike:Welp, as of Friday, I'm in the Club! Gonna keep it at home a month or two, and then will probably be putting it on location for a little while. Most of our local pinheads haven't really gotten to play an Oktoberfest, or really American Pinball games yet.

You’ll love it the more you play it. Great pin.
Quoted from FtrMech:An Actual Topper would be amazing for this title (so much to choose from)...but adding lights to the the existing topper would be awesome as well.
I’d be in for a real topper.
Quoted from drdowns:Based on an API reply to my earlier post wanting a lighted version, I think this is "coming soon". I certainly hope and am in on one if so. If nothing in a year, I will try my hand at my own. My idea is to have lit from behind and sequence a bit like KISS.
I wish someone like tilt topper might make a cool one rather than a piece of plastic.
Quoted from ChrisPINk25:Joined the club tonight. I’m super stoked! Practically brand new. Built Dec 2020 and has under 100 games! I can’t wait for the topper light.
[quoted image]
What topper light?
Has anyone made or know any mod makers that have made target decals for the duck stand ups? Would be interested in buying. Thanks.
Quoted from Viggin900:I finally got my light up, animated Oktoberfest topper! Its not official but no one can tell the difference. I needed something for inbetween the mugs. They are only about $100. Lemax Yulesteiner Brewery.

Very cool. Where did you get it?
Quoted from LTG:Lots of places. Here is one.
