Quoted from TheLaw:2 versions, as you need 2 physical chips; display & CPU.
3.20 is the latest but I think 3.01 is latest display
I haven't been able to locate a 3.01 version of the display - just 3.00. Can anyone confirm 3.01 can be purchased somewhere?
Quoted from nwpinball:Is there anyone in the US that sells a similar type of speaker artwork for Ripley's as this?

It looks great, but the shipping is cost prohibitive from the UK.
I'm considering making a similar speaker panel decal for RBION. Cost would likely be $60USD, including shipping to anywhere in North America. Is anyone else interested?
Quoted from CoolCatPinball:Yes, what TheLaw said, and other optics on the machine are known to be flaky as well. They're cheap and pretty easy to replace.
I have experienced a similar issue, with my idol opto getting triggered when the left flipper fires. In my case, it's a loose wire connection at the opto board.

A follow-up on the speaker decal idea. I've designed this one, along with some stickers to put on the the tombstone targets. Send me a DM to let me know you're interested in these and I'll get some printed up!

Thanks! This is a favourite game for me - I'll consider myself lucky to have another machine good enough to replace it in my collection.

Shipping is starting today! Note that there was a mistake in the Pinside store, which overcharged for shipping. The price you see in the store now includes shipping - there will be no additional fee added upon checkout.
Quoted from cookpins:The speaker vinyl from ArcadeVideo arrived quickly after ordering. Just got it installed tonight. It’s printed on a high quality vinyl, which I was able to remove and reinstall a few times to get it lined up best without issue. Highly recommended. Gives the machine a refreshed look.

Thanks for the positive review! Looks like you did a great job installing it. I still have 20 decals in stock, and I probably won't do another run of these. So if anyone wants one, now's the time to order!
There's been a Labour Day price drop on RBION Speaker Panel Decal at the Pinside store:
Quoted from Dozen:Really Enjoying my Rbion, got it a few weeks ago. New rubbers, Led ,color dmd ,pinstickers ,tv mod, new rule cards,shooter rod, already had lit buttons and speaker grills , I added the globes, fun game, had some friends over the other night and it was definitely the bell of the ball

Looks great! All that's missing is the speaker panel decal.
Does anyone know where to get that Idol sculpture from?
RBION Speaker panel (resized).jpgQuoted from Kevv:I wanted to improve the jungle/adventurous feel of my Ripley's. Here are the mods I custom made for it. An assortment of palm trees, bushes and grass stuck to polycarbonate pieces that fit over existing plastics. Also added a penguin to the penguin loop and a white alligator (as mentioned in one of the bizar facts) to the left ramp.

I made this jungle themed decal for the speaker panel to extend the theme as well. I have some more, which you can get here:

RBION Speaker panel (resized).jpgQuoted from fuzz:Any Tips for dialing in the eject for the scoop?
Ive tried to bend the arch but still get straight down the middle 80% of the time
I tried to bend the arch too, but it also didn't work for me. I wound up loosening the screws holding the whole scoop assembly to the bottom of the playfield, turning the assembly towards the left flipper a little, then tightening up the screws again. I now get perfect kick-outs to the left flipper every time. It was a while ago, but I don't think I needed to create a new screw hole - there was enough play with the existing holes. You may need to create new holes a few millimetres away from the existing ones if you don't have enough wiggle room on your machine.
