Quoted from wxforecaster:Thanks Excalabur. In the attempt to not sound like a total selfish prick douchenozzle, would you (or anyone else) be so kind as to take glass-off playfield on-view pics of the left entrance gate into the dead heads, and the area looking eye on the spider hole.
It's clear my RIGHT exit gate into the popper is wrong (at least assuming X's are original). Mine has "V" shaped wire gate and a solid "trapezoid" gate stacked on top of it. The coil cannot lift both all the way to allow the ball passage.
The reason I need a playfield-on view is that I'm trying to see the shape/size of the LEFT entrance gate into deadheads as well, and I'm also trying to see the shape/size of any gate that exists behind the spider hole (not the one shown in the last pic that comes out of the plunger lane). The standoffs on either side of the spider hole (beneath the bony ramp) are held together by a gate with holes in it, but there's no actual gate in mine and I'm getting airballs into the Skull Pile off the back of the spider hole.

Here are some pics. More to follow.image-624.jpg

Stuby/anyone: is the left entrance to the Deadheads a one-way gate? There's a gate here, but it swings in both directions somewhat pointlessly

love the eyeballs. thanks a million. this is exactly what I need and unfortunately now I'm scrambling to figure out where I can get replacements. my spider gate is missing entirely and the deadhead to pop bumpers is just completely wrong.

The left entrance to the dead heads only swings in one direction (entry from the left). Ball coming up from "extra ball" side will hit the left gate and drop into the dead heads. Hope that helps.

I finally got a Stiffy!

Normal wear around the holes and just a bit of fade on left side (need to get Cliffy's). Best part it was a 40 minute drive and here I thought I was going to have to pay for shipping to get one of these. Patience paid off for once.IMG_3817.JPGIMG_3818.JPGIMG_3819.JPG

Hey Ted,

Just the mylar was worn through but paint is all there. I am tempted to pull all the mylar off of the game but that wouldn't happen for some time. Want to play it for a while.

#917 10 years ago

Mine was the same way. A tiny bit of wear on the mylar, but nothing touched the playfield. I put a small circle of mylar over the spot and that seems to work fine. (for now)

Has anyone just done LEDs in the inserts and left he GIs incandescent?

I did this on my SS, but I also have all my other games this way as well. I just could never get used to LEDs in the GI of my 90's Williams/Bally games, but I love them under the inserts and in the pop bumpers.

Hmmmm. I might have to switch the GI back to incandescent. I like the bright colors of the inserts, but the flickering in GI dimming is harsh.....

The game does look great LED'd in the inserts and pop bumpers, though.

If you put LEDs in the GI on any Williams game you have to turn off dimming in the ROM, there's just no other way to live with it.

Finally got my Scared Stiff up against the wall, this EATPM restore has taken over the garage, had to shift things around. Luckily I just need to let the clear cure a bit and then I can reassemble Elvira and clean up. In the meantime at least I can play SS!

So I'm playing with another one (bought two eyes) and painting veins on it, but this is the one I have mounted at the moment. It's 38mm, feels much better in the hand (to me) and more like a normal shooter. The gear shift one looked great, but was just too big. This one is green too, like the original design that didn't make production.

Hahaha, me busy? I'd probably be willing to make some more, the reason I did it was because I couldn't find one on the market already that I was happy with, but they'd be on the pricey side, these acrylic eyes I'm working with are like 10x the cost of the toys people usually start with. Gives me crazy ideas about making eyes from scratch ...

I'll put up some pics of the one I did with veins in a bit. Also if anyone wants the hot rod shifter style eye in red I don't need mine anymore.

I really like the lighting on both of them! Not too bright. Are they LEDs? Also, I can't wait to see pics of your EATPM when it's all done, that's one of my faves

Yes, both full LEDs. I did the Shadow's but the Scared Stiff is all dug, and he did a great job on them. Normally I want to tear out other people's LED jobs and start over, but I'm not feeling that urge this time. I'll probably tweak a few things, I can't really resist, but it looks great.

I want to see EATPM too! Here's the current status:

It will get the full LED treatment too when I'm done, though I might leave the BBQ incandescents in, have to see how things look. Love that part of the light show.

I paid $900 for mine, though it was pretty beat, hence the restore. I just missed out on one the other night that was practically HUO for $800. They're out there, you just gotta be patient and keep your eyes open.
