Quoted from SkyKing2301:

Here's what I was thinking for the Presto mod ... this one is a rough draft -- the final would have a lobe to attach at the screw hole, and cleaner post-processing (e.g., some sanding to smooth out the brim) & color/touchup. Let me know if anyone would be interested in this, in which case I'll keep working on it. This could replace the flasher dome at any of the six locations, except maybe the lower one along the left wall (don't know the height of the plastic above it yet), but would probably look best either by the pop bumpers or at either location on along the right ramp.

Could certainly print the rabbit in a flat white also, if you didn't want to put it over a flasher; could go pretty much anywhere else where there's a screw to attach it.
I did have one other Presto mod idea, but really need the machine in hand before I can explore that. So in the meantime, consider this version and let me know what you think.

Quoted from pinballjah:

I bought the Stern Dust Cover and floor mat. The patch Screams for a vintage Jean Jacket but I'm far past those days haha

Quoted from konjurer:

This might be my Rush topper! I did for KISS and pretty much adds a real concert lightshow to you pin. Looks like you can pick up a pair of these on Amazon for well under $200.

Quoted from Photopin:

Is it my imagination or has the price already shot up on some of these mods?

Quoted from pinballjah:

Concert ticket mod looks great and will work on top of the Wizard speaker panel mod as well. Will update photo once it arrives.

Quoted from kool1:

Nice! Is it a magnet?
I'm absolutely loving the game so far (1 night). How are you liking so far?

Quoted from pinballjah:

Some new Rush products on the Retro Refurbs website. Really like the album cover side blades. Not really looking to spend $500US on interactive sideblades:[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from SkyKing2301:

Ok so I ran a few more last night and here they are all together -- full grass, full steel, full hybrid, trimmed steel, and trimmed hybrid. Let me know your thoughts, though now that I've created the models / print codes, no reason I couldn't just make them all available.
[quoted image]
See my previous posts for pics on the full grass and full steel. Here are the pics with the new types:

Quoted from pinballjah:

Let me know if you want to split an order. Likely ordering a couple of the side blades. Thanks.

Quoted from pinballjah:

Yah, 25 Euro for one item, 30 for three.

Quoted from SkyKing2301:

I hadn't set that one up for pre-order yet because I wanted to get a little further with it, plus I assumed a bunch of folks might want both Presto and Signals, and sorting out the shipping with two separate pre-orders was going to be a mess, lol. I'll make a note on my tracker sheet that you're interested in Presto, and we can settle up when both are ready.
I'm trying to keep the rabbit around $35-$40, gotta see how long the final version takes to print. Two separate pieces to print, post-processing on the hat to remove support edges and paint the top surface, details on the rabbit (eyes/ears/mouth), and assembly.

Quoted from John_I:

I make the ticket magnets. I picked the ticket I did because it was very clean and the colors went with all of the three versions of the game but especially with the LE. I have a customer who is working on possibly being able to customize the tickets with a template. If so, there is a possibility to print them as custom decals instead of magnets. If you have a scan of a particular ticket, I may be able to do something for you too...

Quoted from pinballjah:

I think you need to use a separate amp with this connector or it won't really improve the sound quality from the existing speaker. That is my understanding with this connector.

Quoted from Lateralus:

Is that the speaker harness from pinsound? Are you going to be using Bluetooth to an amp like one of those other posts did in another thread?
I hope that works great for you! I'm curious how that will sound.
I was actually considering going the Pinwoofer route and splurging excessively for it because I'm getting a Rush LE and using a Klipsch sub. For this machine, I'm going all out, dude! I don't even care lol.
If someone suggests a better route, I'm all ears! (Kinda pun intended... Sorry)

Quoted from AUKraut:

Got some Bones installed on the slingshots of my LE. Pics attached show them off/on with the room lighting off/on, as well as a link to a quick video of them. They are available in my Pinside store:

Spun for different songs or certain things

Quoted from j_m_:

ok, I lied. I said that I wouldn't post these again until I was ready to sell them, but since the magnetic strips will not arrive until next week (at the earliest) and amazon destroyed the vinyl decal sheets that I received today, I spent some time modifying the layouts just a bit more.
I think that like the 2112 starman, I will make all of the iconography 2-colors (still trying to figure out what I want to do there). additionally, if I can find icon imagery that I like, I will make use of it and offer it up.
for now, here's the latest:

Quoted from Apollo18:

I’m covering any and all ICs
Not interested.
For the Pro I’d go full WizApron covering the IC
I’m going to order the Premium Apron myself to cover the IC. was on the fence about it until this week. Now I know for certain. Don’t want it.
Couldnt care less about the “achievements”
I’ll do the “achievements” by playing the game and practicing shots/combos. Don’t need the $200 IC to give me a badge for the “achievements” and declare to the IC world that I’ve done them.
Just no value to ME. To each their own.
Just my 2 cents on the IC subject.

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/custom-apron-cards-printable-versions-only/page/28#post-6770296

Quoted from John_I:

I usually just convert the file so it is 4x6 inches using a free program called GIMP. That way I can print it at any online photo printer as a standard cheap 4x6 photo and cut it down to size. There are a ton of cards, so tell me which slide numbers from that post you like best and I will post them here in a format that can be printed for 25 cents at Walgreens or any photo printer.

Quoted from John_I:

OK here are those three. I uploaded them without scaling, so you should be able to click on them, download and save. I've been meaning to make a video showing how to do this, but I have to set up my new PC for recording still. Here it is in a nutshell using a freeware program called GIMP. Download and install GIMP; I think there is even a version for mac these days. It has a lot of the same functions as photoshop, but at a much better price!
Basically you open the file and "scale image" to the proper size. In this case 3 x 5.5 inches for a Stern card. I usually go a little smaller say 2.9 x 5.4 inches and make it 300dpi in the same menu. Then go into "canvas size", set the canvas size to 4 x 6 inches, click "center", fill with white and hit resize. At this point you export as a .jpg or .png preferably with no compression and it should be ready to print.
When you print at home or online/CVS/Walgreens etc, be sure to print in original size, no scaling, edge to edge (borderless). It will print with a white boarder around the card and you just need to cut it out.

New in my Pinside shop:
From the (not-so) brilliant mind of Slobovich, Music Agent for RASH, comes the world's greatest musical invention: The GeFilter!!! A wondrous Time Machine to transport your musicians across the spectrum of Time!!!
The GeFilter plate is multi-color 3D printed and backed with magnetic strips for easy mounting and removal.
Two versions are available: Standard and LE.
The Standard version features the GeFilter logo on a black backing plate.
The LE version can be personalized to match the number for your RUSH LE pinball. Once your order for an LE version is placed I will reach out and contact you to get your desired number. Then your LE version will be custom made. Due to the custom versions being made to order please allow a few days for these to ship.

I see two sold on ebay for relatively little money (YMMV) earlier in the year, but nothing has come up in the past three or four weeks. So we're fighting for the few in existence!

Quoted from John-Floyd:

Thank you for the lead on the car - exactly what I was looking for. [quoted image]

Quoted from TinyBlackDog:

All of the Pros and Premiums on the TPF show floor have the blue sandwich protectors. There have to be at least a dozen of them. JJ from GEX has a Premium in his suite that just has the forks. Not sure if these are being put on at the factory yet. Of course, the factory has shifted to other titles now so it doesn’t really matter until the next run.
I hear that Rush is in the Wizards tournament - curious how they toughened it up for tournament play.

Thanks Aniraf for the speedy delivery and helping the community protect what should have been done correctly in the first place.

Quoted from usafstars:

6 games so far. This thing is smooth. Center scoop was much easier to hit, about 75% less bounce outs now. Plenty of sloppy side scoop entries, but I’m way Ok with that. No ball deflection when rolling over lip, kept ball on original trajectory. Really watched it while wife was playing and didn’t see any lifting of edges at all no matter how the ball hit it.

Does Marcos give you a banner when you order the game through them?

Quoted from swampfire:

I’m not crazy about the skeleton, but I love the dice, are those standard size?

Quoted from Lermods:

Well, that is typically the kind of mods we make, those that are illuminated and, where possible, interactive, and that also blend into the theme (disco ball, wonkavator, Thor hammer, IM plane, etc). We have a few planned, but without a game, I’m not willing to release or show anything. Also, playing the game helps me better understand what might or might not work. Stern has been very slow to release games. We typically buy pros because they need the most modding work and stern sells more of them. For rush, stern produced less pros than normal in the first batch. I’m told to expect a game this month and then it will be a few weeks before I can show and start to offer mods.

Quoted from Lermods:

Here's the revised clock face with an added gear decal and different second hand. Rear mount has been added and symbols are aligned as numbers on a clock would be. This proto is going out to a tester tomorrow and if all goes well, these should be available by the weekend or early next week. There’s some red paint where the drum ring meets the drum, that won’t be there in the production version.
Might be hard to tell, but it's probably one of the nicest and most intricate mods we've made.

Quoted from Magicman:

Your game looks great, but I don't understand how you can spend hundreds on mods for your game but leave those ugly zinc fender washers Stern uses on the slingshot plastics installed. Do yourself a favor and invest a few dollars in a set of slingshot protectors, or at least some PETG clear fender washers. Big improvement for a small investment IMHO.

I just LOL’d. Very true.

But we do greatly appreciate it!!

Quoted from Sleal16:

Slowly getting there. Thanks to my darling wife for helping me do a good chunk of the painting for this prototype. Havent had much time so gave her a few drums and had her play with color variations, this one is our favorite so far. Havent found a good clock mechanism yet, so just place a couple of screws to get an idea of the face. The initial design was a snare drum, but might modify it a bit to make it a bass drum. TBD on that
The hardest part is getting a vibrant chrome gold. We've gone through 7 gold acrylics and waiting on a couple more to come in.

Ok, we are now ready to reveal our next mod for Rush. Our illuminated and interactive Fly-by-Night owl. This owl will be interactive with the "hoot again" lights between the flippers so when they light, the owls eyes will light. My game arrives tomorrow so I just need to work on placement, but I don't forsee this being an issue. His wing span is around 5".

Quoted from vtstarman:

Found this gem of a ticket magnet in my mailbox today designed by j_m_ which coincidentally was 2 hours after my distributor called to confirm shipping of my Rush premium. Sadly, I only saw one Rush show live which was at the Capital Centre in Landover, MD (RIP). High school graduation gift from my older brother who first exposed me to Rush with Permanent Waves on cassette in 1980. This ticket reproduction looked so authentic, I had him make me 2. Great guy to work with and perfectly brought back the nostalgia of the moment with Cap Centre logo on the ticket stubs all us NoVA natives remember from the 1970-90s while including details of the show I attended, customized exactly as requested with a font true to the original. Can't wait to see how the looks on my machine.

Quoted from SkyKing2301:

So ... between my posts that I teased back in Post 1056 (https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/rush-mods-amp-toys-what-are-you-hoping-for-and-who-s-making-it/page/22#post-6894329) and my the gold hardware in my Super Jackpot Cleanup Kit in Post 1179 (https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/rush-mods-amp-toys-what-are-you-hoping-for-and-who-s-making-it/page/24#post-6916348) .... it really kinda opened Pandora's Box.
With my own artistic love of proper color coordination (colored posts is what started this Rocket City Pinball gig for me in the first place), and some nudging to acknowledge where I already knew this was headed (thanks, but no thanks, but thanks Kez11 ) ... I'm afraid I'm getting carried away but it'll be worth it in the end.
With all the steampunk bronze/copper/gold on the plastics, the silver hardware just sticks out like a sore thumb. As such, I've painstakingly examined, sourced, and ordered all the necessary gold-colored hardware to replace all the silver screws & washers in the game that touch the decorative plastics. Once I have everything in hand and confirm I've got everything right, I'll offer this as a kit.
But it's not just the hardware itself! Looking at the game, and imagining all the gold hardware in place (or seeing some, as I had some alreadly), the next things that really stands out (pin intended) as clashing are the hex spacers, that are holding up some of the plastics and ramps and stuff. So ... again, did I mention Pandora's box? ... I designed and printed Rocket City Pinball's newest thing -- Hex Sleeves to cover up the hex spacers with a more appropriate color! They're designed to simply slide over the hex spacer and hide it inside. These will be available for Rush and for other games too (if you have others you'd like to add color to). I haven't had time to look around (between the day job and evening family time & late night working on these things), so I don't know if anyone else is making things like this, but a quick search I ran just now doesn't yield anything. Might be onto something new here! But anyway --
On Rush at least, almost all of these hex spacers have a washer at their base. To remove the hex spacer though, you need to grab the head of the screw underneath the plastic, and there are several spots where they're not easily accessible. As such, I added a rounded flange to the base of the Hex Sleeves -- this hides the washer so it's not noticeable unless you're looking at it from a very low angle.
I'm printing these in the same antique brass color as the posts. Here's a teaser photo of what these will look like when installed. You'll also note in this pic that I installed my replacement posts as well as the Hex Sleeves. The Hex Sleeves are shown here with the gold screws/washers installed too.... several others around them (including in the replacement posts) are still silver because I haven't received the new gold hardware yet. So consider this a tease, I'll post more pics when I have all the hardware in hand and continue the swapout!

Quoted from CrashJT:

I like that look too, but if you have the clock, that's not a space. Thinking I'll be trying some sort of backline combo for the dryer and the henhouse. I was hoping it would fit over the super combo jackpot ramp bend (stage right) and dryer over the hemispheres right ramp (stage left), but I'm thinking HH too tall for that space. As a backup, May put both on the right with HH in the lower corner. Excited to get them both!!
