I might do this (plastic protector) as my PF still has day 1 mylar, though at the flippers it looks worn in (worried it would remove paint/ink to pull the mylar) and overall the PF looks great. Cupping does affect play and maybe I should keep it that way but I wonder how it would play with the protector on.
I'll also add that I've got Titan red comp rings on the game and they look great.
I really need to wax mine and jack it up. I think Paragon is actually more 'brutal' than Flash Gordon much of the time. But man, nudge the ball to safety from the Beast's Lair, nail the inlines, recover from numerous dangerous exits from the waterfall, this game has so many ways to make you hurt. Definitely makes one a better player and I don't ever want mine to go. It and FG are parked.
Beautiful. As swampy says, it's nicer to find one in good shape than have to spend the time and money to do it yourself (He's actually done some really great swaps, I have yet to do the couple I've got planned but I'm glad the Paragon I found was nice enough to leave alone).
I know the lower part of the playfield has lots of room, but I think those 'dead bumpers' you added there EJ just mess up the flow of this game
Quoted from swampfire:We have a winner! Re-pinning those 2 pins fixed it. I forgot the first rule of early SS repair: it's almost always the connectors! This is probably why my sounds are off too. I may as well repin all of the MPU connectors now, and save myself trouble down the road.
remember who told you first
Also, if your sounds are garbled, almost certainly the pins. I've repinned all the boards and connectors. Takes forever but I'll likely never have to do it again in my lifetime.
Quoted from swampfire:You said to repin the displays, not the MPU!
After all these years of fixing old Ballys I should have known better anyway.
actually I meant bothg the connectors and MPU, always best to do both sides!
Quoted from Captive_Ball:Always fun when explaining the inline drop targets on the left side....I usually get the question, "Why do I have to knock down 3 targets to get 2X Bonus?"
Because it's one of the baddest games ever made, and you have to be the paragon of pinball to get that measly bonus only to do it all over again on the next ball!
