ANOTHER SHORT RUN HAS BEEN PLANNED FOR December 2014 and some have arrived today -Dec 16th, 2014.
But only if I have enough interest ... please PM me if you would like to reserve a set.
No prepayment is requested at this time. Previous threads have shown a positive feedback on these.

They are to reinforce the playfield from horizontal bowing and will reduce existing bowing. These are made with strong industrial materials, not what you find at HomeDepot.

Many have been picked up by Safecracker owners and all feedback has been positive.
The ball runs much truer. The can be installed in about 30 min without taking the playfield out.
Anyone that has installed them, please share your experience.

Anyone needing details can PM me.
The $165 cost INCLUDES shipping and 6 pages of detailed instructions. Enjoy!

Anyone that owns a SC and doesn't have these installed needs to buy them.

It's just a no-brainer ... not only does it protect the pf against damage, but it makes the game play better too!

I am definitely interested but when you get ready let me know. It just depends on the money situation at that time. So please keep me on the list.

I 2nd this. I have had them on from the first run I think. I had no clue the playfield had so much bow in it until I add these and got it flat again.

Safecracker Underplayfield Rails being made now!

Of course, I ordered extras for others that might be interested.
So, if you are thinking about it and would like to be added to the list, please let me know with a PM.
I am expecting to be shipping the 2nd week of December or so, if all goes well.

Thank you!

PS ... have you tried playing Safecracker with smaller 1" balls? Faster and more challenging!
Also, have you modded your score display to be mounted a little lower, making the score easier to see?

Bump for an absolute must if you own a SC.

BTW, I did use 1" balls but found that they were too quick for the opto that triggers the coil that sends the balls up to the lock so went back to standard. I do have a cleared field and it plays plenty fast.

Curious if you did the score display mod?

I have these support brackets from Paul but still haven't installed them. But terrific mod/fix for this game.

Hijacking the thread a tad. If anyone makes wings with hardware for SC please contact me. I would love to buy a set for mine.

I have not.
In regards to the ball lock, it may be a pitch thing.

*** I HAVE EXTRA SETS AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME in JANUARY 2015. ***

Almost all pre-orders have been paid for and shipped ... I will send reminders to the couple who have not followed through. (still in the red on this project ... not a problem as they will go eventually) All feedback is appreciated.

As information, I used a different producer this round just to have another one familiar with making them. So, this cost more for setup, etc.
I want to hear if any issues I would need to address due to this.
Also curious how helpful the installation document has been.

Thank you to all.

Just wanted to say that I finally got around to mounting mine a few days ago. No problems following the installation instructions. The playfield went from scarily bowed to almost completely straight, and it is very noticeably more rigid when pulling/raising/lowering. Feels much safer now. As for playability, it feels good. Maybe a bit better, or maybe it's just placebo. Great product, either way -- a must have for any Safecracker, in my opinion.

I put in a set very recently went in easy, besides correcting the bowed PF it also fixed my issue with the shooter rod spring & E clip scrapping under the auto shooter crank, the difference is huge.

Absolutely. Makes an amazing difference. If you own a SC, this is a must-have addition.

Thanks to all that requested these ... I have a few sets left if anyone is thinking about these.
2 sets went overseas!

I just got notified by one buyer of a label error and have sent the following message to all the
latest buyers to confirm this as they do the installation.
I would appreciate knowing which ones were mis-marked by means of a PM... Thanks.
====

"VERY IMPORTANT...
PLEASE NOTE: There are 2 holes marked for the short screws...please verify that I marked them correctly.
One person noted that I was off on one of the tape labels "Short screw -->"
Be sure that where there is no black rail on top of the playfield ... these should get the short screws.

Please let me know what you find.
Thank you.

So I finalized the order for a limited number of new sets and expect them to be ready by around May 1st.
I should be able to have them available for pickup at the Allentown Show ($160 to save on shipping)
Cost when up a little so I just renewed my Pinside ad to show $179 shipped in USA.
I am taking orders now.
Thanks
