Kind of unexpected. Needs a shop job. Decals not bad. What are good mods for it?
Now I have too many pins.

Quoted from Av8:Its going to cost me 500 in gifts to her. But these are very hard to come by. Last WPC 95 if you dont count CC
I need Williams speaker panel for it. PM if you have one.
Why would you not count cactus canyon? By that logic, champion pub was the last wpc95 if you don't count CC or MB.
Quoted from Av8:Wife not happy because I pick this up on moms day. Am i a jerk?

Quoted from Av8:Feel free to correct me on pin history. This was off my radar as unattainable. Much like afm and MM. My friend had 2.
Had to dig deep to find the cash. Im going to have to thin the herd soon or she will really get pissed. LW3 RFM, ACDC Premium or Pro. Now accepting offers.
I don't think you should keep MB,it wasn't on your wish list anyway 
Just sell it to me now.
Great game - I got mine about 1 month ago and it has me in pinball fever again. I got the decals and the repro playfield is sent for clear-coating. I already bought the chrome side rails and lockdown bar. I can't wait till it I can restore it....

Nice score no matter what the occasion. This is one of the few pins that doesn't need modded.
Quoted from Av8:The toys are great on this.
What can you tell me about MB playfields. I heard they are going to make reproductions at the end on the year. How is the quality?
I bought one during the last run and sent it back. There was missing paint around a bunch of inserts where the screening messed up.
As for mods, the only things I've done is to install the Pinbits Eddy chips and add some LEDs sparingly. You want to make sure the bracket that keeps the drac trac level is installed and adjusted properly.

How well do those chips work for you?
Quoted from Honch:How well do those chips work for you?
Before installing them, probably 3% of phantom flips would not flip at all, just let it roll into the drain. I've probably only played about 50 games since installing them, but I haven't seen any misfires since then. I haven't really noticed it being any more accurate, but it does shoot the orbits a good bit now, where it previously would only attempt the ramps or scoop.
As long as it doesn't let the ball drain, I'd call that an improvement. The way my pin is right now, it lets the ball drain 50% of the time(rarely makes a shot too). I was thinking of just disabling phantom flip altogether. Thanks for the review, I may go get some new chips.
Congratulations!
I have added the blackout mod which really helps all the character and multiball intros. Spots above the slings to improve mid-playfield visibility. I am awaiting a star post light kit to improve lower playfield lighting. Next will be mirror blades. I also have color-changing lighted flipper buttons, under cabinet lighting, and lighted scorecards as well as LEDs all over. As you can probably tell I am way into lighting.

ps. I just leveled up! No longer a measly pinhead
Any pictures of the spots above the slings??
I used Cointaker Superbright Warm White under the slings - made a big difference but not too bright if that makes sense?!

Again, my camera skills don't do the effect justice. Adding reflectors looks a bit more professional at the expense of blocking a small bit of the playfield view. I also had to trim them back a bit to allow room for the ball.
