Just paid for a SP yesterday. Waiting on the check to clear and then Fast Eddie will be over to deliver the machine.
Can't wait to show it off! It is in fantastic condition.

Quoted from pin-pimp:Ok looking for some feed back on this idea. I’ve owned 5 southparks and every one has beat up Kenny hole, cartman hole and the right inlane drop has tons wear. So I took it upon myself to design some hole protector/repair fix it parts.
Here is what I got and it fits and works.
Now these are cnc cut models but I own a tooling Shop and can build molds for this stuff pretty fast. Models are in black but molded can be any color. Also have a compete thin part designed to drop into the Kenny hole and it has side ribs that double as opto protectors. [quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
I would love to pick up a set if possible!
Have you looked into designing a similar protector for the Chef hole?
Quoted from pin-pimp:can ya, my plan is to start with the lane repair parts and cartman hole then do the kenny hole and to start looking at other titles that are prone to have issues in areas like this.
Put me on your waiting list for when they become public!

Keep posting updates! Really interested to see the end result.
Let me know if you need testers. My Cartman hole is still in pretty good shape. I wonder how much tighter of a fit that will have on your protector.
Quoted from pin-pimp:yes i do need a tester who has a pin with little or no wear on the cartman hole, your in! i will have parts shortly after Christmas
Wonderful! Thank you so much! I'm at work currently, but I can send you a photo of the hole if you'd like when I am home later today.

Quoted from pin-pimp:im still waiting for my samples, molds were over at our molders before Xmas. should be any day now
Can't wait for this gamechanger! Shoot me a PM when they are in so I can send you my address. Let me know if you would still like a photo of my Cartman hole.
I do have a set of Cliffys I bought but haven't installed yet in anticipation for this protector. For people who already have the protector installed, will they have to remove the Cliffy, or can it slide over the top?
Figured I should post this finally. Here’s how my Cartman and Chef holes look. It came with a Cliffy on the Kenny hole, but I don’t think there is any big damage underneath.
I have noticed that my Chef shots sometimes bounce out as well. I’m not sure if it is because of that chip on the playfield or if it’s just how the game is.

Love the color! I really like how you don’t have to unscrew anything to get it installed. How far does it stick up above the play field?
Let me know if you would still like me to be a tester. Regardless, I can’t wait to get my hands on one.
My red multiball switch target broke today. I think I need this piece for replacement: https://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/500-6228-02
Can anyone confirm this is what I need?
Also, does it simply plug from the wire harness, or is there more to it?

Quoted from pin-pimp:Here are in lane repair parts pre trimmed[quoted image][quoted image]
These look great! If they can be used on any machine, you could have a major sought after item.
As for first impressions: fit perfectly. Nice and snug. Was worried it wouldn’t come off easily but managed to pop it off without an issue. Color seems to be identical to the play field. Blends in well.
Sits right against the playfield. I was worried that there may be raised edges but it it perfectly against the playfueld. Seems to have no issues with a lip that might roll or block the ball (like a cliffy).
Even my girlfriend who isn’t into pinball as much as I am said she really liked it and commented if there was a lime green protector for our Attack From Mars, she would want me to take the cliffys out to install it.
Which speaking of, installation was a breeze. It took longer to remove the glass then it did to get it placed correctly. It took me 4 hours to install the full cliffy set for my attack from mars. I had to remove playfield parts and motors. Something like this could have a full install in under 10 minutes.
I’ll update this as I continue to play the machine. Only issues I see maybe occurring is a 1/1000 chance the ball rolls back or after thousands of hits, it starts to thin/wear down. (Although how about those MBr protectors bending after 200 plays)

Thinking about selling my SP. Shoot me a PM if you’re interested.
Quoted from ryanwanger:There are three targets under the toilet. The one on the left (one of the skinny ones) broke. The machine isn't in front of me, it's on location, but I'm not certain what part I need even after looking through the manual, and at the options on Marco's site.
Is it this one? https://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/545-6138-04
That's what you want!

Quoted from latenite04:In an attempt to keep the large plastic next to Kenny from breaking again I made a support for it. That's just too much plastic to be mounted on three small pressure points.

I also finished up my first attempt at a 3d printed toilet. A few measurements are off but it came out well for try one.

I’ll take both if you start selling them!
