Quoted from wayinla:Where does this clear plastic piece go? Found it on the orbit between the Dead Heads and the Laboratory
Right here, to the right of the pop closest to the deadhead stack.

Thanks! I wonder what the function of this piece is?
Quoted from spfxted:Hi again. The Tilt Sideblades and Bat Ramp are gone. Just Magnetic Bat Speaker Thingys and original SS DMD left. I may have an original Manual...
damn, late again!
Quoted from wayinla:Thanks! I wonder what the function of this piece is?
It's to help any stray balls to not get stuck up there. Yes, seems odd to have a ball up there, but I've had a few high energy ramp shots that had the ball land on top of blue plastic near the pops. Rare, but can happen.

Quoted from wayinla:I opened up my Scared Stiff Manual and discovered that it had three autographs. It’s easy to read Greg Freres’s signature but I can’t tell who the other two are. Can anyone recognize them?
I'm guessing here, but it looks a bit like the signature on the right hand side might be Roger Sharpe. I don't recognize the bottom signature.

Link?
Dont need this TV version or these Boney beast eyes, but the little black cat is intriguing...
Quoted from KrustyBurger:The signature on the right hand side might be Roger Sharpe. I don't recognize the bottom signature.
The bottom signature includes "stay stiff" so maybe it is Nobel Prize-winning biochemist Robert Furchgot, the inventor of Viagra.
FYI I'm selling some cool blueprints on ebay including the coffin,spider & dead heads if anyone is interested.

I have others so if you are looking for others let me know. Like a rib detail from the bony beast ramp.

I think you're right on Roger Sharpe

How much for just one rib? (Chris Rock requested that I ask.)

Thanks! I think you are both right! That third signature will be a difficult one to decipher.

what did you use to repair the wear at "terrifying"
1 week later
Joined the club officially this week with a very nice example I received in a trade. Very excited to finally have one, as I've been looking for several months. The playfield is in very nice shape, with Cliffys already installed and no visible wear. The T in front of the trunk just barely shows anything. Added some mylar in the hot spots and cleaned her up. Ordered some new boogie men for the slings and installed blades and soon a color DMD. Such a fun, unique pin! I've gotten all six modes and started climbing the Stiff-O-Meter a few times. The shots feel great to make, with smooth, innovative ramps. I can see why this one is so popular, especially these days!
Quoted from ccbiggsoo7:did it come with black rubbers from the factory or white?
anyone?

Promo video shows all black, I used the gray from Titan, looks really good on this game
Quoted from BobC:Does anybody know who can custom paint some boney flippers?
Modfather?
Yes he can. I got a spare set of boney beast ribs if you want so your game keeps running. Let them go cheap

pics please?

Paint them yourself. Bone is super easy to paint. It is a dry brush technique. There are YouTube videos on how to do it.

It's actually a color washing technique.
Paint the flipper with a watered down black/grey color, then lightly wipe off the excess leaving the paint in the detail areas.

Probably some previous owner’s inventory system. It was part of a fleet or something. I got an Haunted House from a movie studio and it has a prop department tag on it with a number. Same type of thing.

Did you pick up a SS? And not tell me! hmmm.... some friend

Not yet but hopefully soon.
Has anybody tried the Comet brand "retro" SMD LEDs in SS without LED OCD boards?
I'm on a very limited budget these days and am having a bit of sticker shock after finding the LED and GI (why more expensive than the LED?) add up to $290 before tax (9.25% assuming there is tax) and shipping.
Typically my game is at home with very few plays (like 10 a month).
It's at a very nice location for coin play right now, but it was routed before I got it and I see no heat damage from the old bulbs (I think there might be a little lifting under the mylar at the inserts just infront of the flippers, but I don't know if that's due to heat or what).
So I'm thinking of just sticking with incandescent bulbs...maybe I'll be more enthusiastic about OCD boards and LEDs tomorrow, but between SS and LOTR my budget for non-life-essentials this rest of the year would be wiped out (I haven't even thought about Xmas yet).

I have games that needed the LED OCD board. In my opinion, SS isn't one of them. Comet LEDs are the way to go but not the "retro" ones (not enough light). I would go with 2SMD bulbs in sunlight for your GI and then color match your inserts. Do the ghost busters ones for your inserts. It will look great. The only down side is you will loose the "dimming effect" by not having the LED OCD board.
Well it does look like a signature, not just somebody trying to get ink to flow to the tip of a ballpoint pen.
There used to be a jackass who would "autograph" the outside cabinet of his pins. It was a rude surprise if you bought one and it was shipped to you...
I just picked up a Scared Stiff and did a little research on it. It seems to have some of the features of a sample, including glow bones and the sample playfield (with the different face on the stiff-o-meter, "saved by the spell", etc.) It doesn't have the unscratched cabinet or boogie men extensions. Any idea how many of the samples are out there and why this one might have only been a partial sample?
Thanks!
Quoted from whitey:Looking for a Topper for my SS ?
Any suggestions
