True!....BUT, that poster sits on the wall in a frame. I look at it and never have to worry about fixing it. AND, classic sci-fi posters have gone up in value EVERY year. Pinball is still a bit risky at this point. Given all that....you still don't get the FEELING of interactive play from a poster.... 
Not too much. The classics always go up. With posters from the 40's and 50's there were only 500 or less made sometimes because they didn't have the number of theatres and goodleplexes we have today. Most posters were returned, beat to hell or thrown away. That's why a decent quality half sheet from the Mummy or Frankenstein can sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
With many of the posters there may be only be 50 or a hundred excellent examples left and thousands of people who want them. The prices really skyrocketed when the Japanese realized the classic American posters were WAY undervalued. So a Forbidden Planet one sheet that sold for $200 jumped to $3,000. Again, I'm only talking about the classic stuff. It's like in pinball collecting AFM, MB, TAF, MM, SS, etc, as opposed to Pinbot, which chances are will never be a $6k pin. 
Quoted from Honch:I gotta tell ya, it looks cool. After visiting your house, the idea of revamping my game room with classic horror posters has been bouncing around in my head ever since. I think it adds a really cool vibe to the room.
Yes, I think so. AND, they make fantastic quality reproductions of all the classic posters.

Just go there and tell Jim, Ted sent ya!
Quoted from Honch:That's funny, I tried the exact same thing. And with the same result.
Thanks...i won't waste my time now. 
Phew, just got back from seeing Man of Steel and The Purge. Superman was pretty interesting and The Purge was a waste of time. 
Spider Multiball is only a dream I'm sure I'll never attain.
But anyway, as promised, here are pix of that super-cool Gory Eyeball Interactive Mod from Judge Dreads! i think this is a MUST HAVE mod! It's not in the way and looks great! When you get any of the three Eyeballs with the Spider Spinner, it registers on these Eyeballs! Nice quality item!
She will ALWAYS be a member! 
(I once used that photo and had her holding an issue of my mag, SPFX)! Pinball #2 is fantastic! Just getting into it, skipping all around....nice Scared Stiff and Party Monsters info!
...All you Scared Stiff Club Members...Get This Issue NOW!
Ok guys! I need some help. NJGecko was nice enough to come over and help me (er, he did everything, I watched) Heck...he brought his lovely daughter and SHE did more than me!
...anyway, the switch I thought had a problem was just "bonging" for lack of use. He fixed it in five seconds. Then some LED's were put in.
Now here's where I need some help...do any of youz guys have certain LED's in the backglass behind the Scared Stiff Logo? Red and green LED's maybe? Any advice? ...Thanks! 
Thanks Doug.
I have the fast flicker LED on the candle and slow flicker multi-color LED on the TV set. (love that!)
I have a few LED's around the backglass and now the logo area seems dull. I'll try cool whites behind it. Do you think using colored bulbs would be too much?
Quoted from Jean-Luc-Picard:Oh nice!!! How much do they run?
When Jack had the Christmas party there he was offering a great deal. I forgot how much. My wife said, "Great, something else for me to dust!" I kid...I kid...(not really) 
INFO: Scared Stiff Overlay Insert Being Produced By Muppet_Man
I have finished the scanning and artwork for this just recently. It will be produced under licence and available hopefully within six to ten weeks in the U.S. 
...and MORE news from Planetary!
All ... we are working on the overlay as we speak, I had to destroy one taking off my game to color match (so I now need one as well!). Anyways, thanks to someone on the group we have the artwork and will do the last work to get it right. I'm hoping a couple of weeks +/-
Quoted from Aurich:Aiming for more like the original prototype shooter
There was some kind of Eyeball Shooter on my machine when I got it. I swapped it for the Gory Eyeball. I'll check and snap a pic of what was on there....
Cool! Yeah, I did the same thing. I had to buy the whole sheet for one decal....THEN, I got a new machine with no wear there and still have the whole sheet! Oh well....can't hurt...
.....I also just found a bag with the Bony Beast thingy! Don't even remember where i bought it!! 
Quoted from jk2171:Looking forward to joining this club one day. Would love to buy the Banker's currently for sale.
You should! That's a great deal! All the great mods are already there! Even the upgraded speaker! If I didn't have one, that would be the one I'd go for. (at least make an offer...can't hurt)
Quoted from jk2171:Plunger isn't strong enough to hit the crate on launch...think I just need a new spring.
Yes....mine was borderline and then NJGecko installed the "red" spring (or some such color) ...and wham, it flies up there!
Quoted from jk2171:Congrats Ted on the 1000th post in the thread. You are the flame holder of all things SS!
Could you post a pic of the upgraded spring you have on your game?
Thanks, but I think Robert has that honor.
I'll take a pic tonight. I think the Geckster said there were different strengths and they are coded by color.
Quoted from Aurich:when your day job is in graphics you get anal about the details.
I know what you mean! I do graphics as well and always have plenty of crazy stuff to do for friends. Menus, flyers, posters, booklets, fix photos, business cards, magazine layout, magnetic signs, funny signs for my Cigar Bar Group...I'm sure you get the same thing....(shhhh, it's fun though) 
Quoted from ChrisS:Yeah but I think the issue is that this only works with the tables they provide. You can't use it with the other apps. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
It just came in. On the box it says Plays with Pinball HD Collection and Pinball HD apps for iPad. (App supported pinball controller for iPad)
....I think the tables they provide are the free ones, but you can buy the other apps, no?
I had this set up last night. Downloaded those collections and looked at other games they had. (AC/DC was pretty cool) When I went to (actually someone set it up for me 
) the other app site and downloaded a game, it didn't work!
...so I guess as of now, you can only use those collections and what they have to offer. 
I don't know if this will change in the future, but I'll keep youz posted as this is a pretty cool item...and cheap!
Quoted from Aurich:I seem to recall that the pre-made mods were pretty pricey.
They are! But it IS a cool mod!
oooh! Just found this!
ebay.com link: Bally Scared Stiff Pinball Skull Pile LED Candle Flame Mod
Quoted from Cheeks:If anyone has done this, I'd be interested in what you thought of it.
I think Robert has one...not sure. I was going to have this done until I realized that the game just fires another ball rather than the kickback. Almost the same thing, so I never went through with the conversion. 
Quoted from RobertWinter:No, mine is a sample game, which also does not have the kickback. No need for it since autolaunch accomplishes the same thing.
Got ya. Yeah, that's why i never had someone put it in. I think it's fine like it is.
Yes, I saw that. Was there LED"s? Dancing Boogie Men? Flickering Candle Mod? Skull Pile Mod? The front looked totally washed out. The sides looked light to me as well. AND a hole by the Crate. Robert, what did you think?
