Quoted from Gotpins:

I’d like to have a Medusa that looks like an original machine even though its made up of junk and has the heart of a Stern game. So to get medusa images on the drops I could use white Stern drop targets and make medusa decals for them. But having stickers on drops is not appropriate for this era…it would bother me.
So that got me to wondering if Pinball Resource could hot stamp the medusa image on a stern style drop target? After an email and phone call, Steve graciously agreed to make some up in his free time for me! If that’s not fantastic customer service I don’t know what is! Thanks you Steve! I ordered up 20 drops to last my lifetime with this machine. Then it’s someone else’s problem. Ha!

OP

Quoted from Gotpins:

You should call Steve and have him make you some drops while he has the jig set up for making mine. It will save him time. He will appreciate that!

Quoted from Gotpins:

That's why I need a Centaur too!
Viva the Cendusa build!

OP

Quoted from Gotpins:

I didn't acknowledge yet that odd coil bar thingie was for an EM and could be 120 volts. It's similar to the ball release in a Skeeball. Strange setup.
The zipper mech I'm thinking I can make look like this one from Mudflaps pics. I figure I can make a bracket to attach to my mech to hold the correct coil. At least that's my idea thus far. I'm open to suggestions. Or if someone has this bracket for sale, I'd be your new best friend!

Quoted from Gotpins:

If you have time, and the machine is easy to get to, sure, I’d love to see some more pics of a zipper flipper in its natural setting! I’m going off pics I find on the internets to make this thing happen. The more pics the better in my opinion. Thanks!

OP

Quoted from Gotpins:

And it all got wired up this morning. I’m waiting on an order from mouser with some molex connectors for this and the other mechs I wish to make removable. I’ll need to remove the playfield from the rotisserie to install the back panel. Maybe that will happen later today. Who knows.
I have an half baked idea for the light baffles for the back light panel and the red plastic cover. I need to acquire some materials first. More to come on that another day. Thanks for watching!

Quoted from Gotpins:

In other news….
I attended the Pintastic New England show and was able to acquire a repro backglass for Centaur. Looks like I’m starting to acquire parts for that build. If anyone following has a used or repro silk screened Centaur playfield I’m looking for one.

Quoted from Gotpins:

Does anyone following along have a Bally 4 bank inline drop mech and or a 5 slot drop bank for sale? I have a 3 bank inline mech I could trade if necessary. Please PM me. Thanks!

Quoted from Gotpins:

Here it is!

Quoted from Gotpins:

Who knows what's gonna happen. But here is what the website says. And tracking says it will be delivered tomorrow by 7 pm.
I'll see if I have anything Fathom leftover. But I think I sold it all off awhile back. But I find new things all the time in my travels.

OP

Quoted from Gotpins:

Hmm, I'm tempted....But I'm in too deep with making my own at this point. I think the send/cut/send method is way cheaper, more fun, and can be replicated to help others in the future. Plus, maybe I can make the correct drop bank for Medusa now and reuse the stern one for 9-Ball build? IDK, fun!
