My favorite super glue is Loctite 411.

A populated playfield I hope.

Ugh. Leave it. It adds to the destruction of Godzilla!

Tom is a good guy, he’ll definitely take care of you if you ask. He’s sending me a replacement later next week. Unfortunately I noticed that my broken tower was also missing one of the legs so I don’t think super glue is going to get the job done. The mod is too damn good not to get it fixed!

Definitely not. I’m not sure what would have to happen in order for them to send a populated playfield but I’m guessing it’d have to be pretty damn severe!

I’m going to be listing my Pinstadium Neo Ultra+ Fusions for sale in the next day or so. Perfect condition just going a different route with my game. They make any amazing light show and personally I love the effects they provide. In particular, the “candle effect” you can choose provides an awesome burning city type of vibe! I’ll post photos/videos soon but wanted to mention it here first in case anyone wants to score a good deal!

Looks great just one question…is the big guy on a lunch break? Maybe he got tired of always saving humanity and getting labelled a monster? So many guesses…

Wow the pinstadiums are looking fantastic! .. I just purchased the neo atom fusion .... Cant wait ..

Send more pics .. Did you use the clip ons then wrap em with electrical tape ..thinking this is how i will attach them.. Y or N? ..so they dont pop off and damage any components they might touch not wrapped. .

Ha! These are old photos while I was working on my GZ replacement. Totally missed seeing that! Here’s where it ended up…

are those clip plastic protectors?

Not sure what you mean? These are the plastic protectors from Freddy’s pinball.

3d printed mods?

my premium is coming this week. I'm gonna do a few things (speakers, shaker motor, artblades, NECA godzilla) but otherwise need to wait on spending until the heat dies down with the wife.

Meanwhile I have a DLP and a nice FDM printer. Any worthwhile mods you guys have done with publicly available STLs (not much of a sculptor...)? I'm gonna print a pingulp in ABS but I couldn't think of much else.

Convolux is the brand name.

I hear you, but... it will just get hit by another airball. Whether it is three days or three weeks or three months, it will get hit and it will likely break again. Not interested in wasting his time when its a temporary fix.

I’ve had a replacement Mando playfield ordered for almost a year now due to chipping. It’s been crickets from them. Hopefully you actually receive yours.

Would be really cool if someone did a London Bridge Mod.

Do you mean Tower Bridge?

Upvoted ! The current London bridge is kind of boring; I believe Lior did a mod which mostly looks like Tower Bridge

The green set of Freddy’s plastics looks great! I’ll pick up a set next year when I attend the IFPA world championships in Germany.

As a pandemic project last year I built a portable diesel heater inside of a Pelican case for our rooftop tent. To keep the electronics inside cool I ran a 12V fan - and all of this flipper fade talk has me thinking about that project…

I didn’t want the fan running full tilt all of the time so I bought a cheapo Amazon PWM controller and a Noctua PWM fan…has a little temp sensor on the controller. Has anyone toyed with the idea of using one of these in conjunction with flipper fans? One sensor should be enough of a gauge for all of them, and a variable speed fan may do a better job at cooling only when needed?

Just spitballin…maybe a solution in search of a problem…

Who makes and sells that bridge?
thx

There are adapters for larger speakers and for moving the Insider Connected reader to the coin door. As for Godzilla related stuff I haven't really looked for 3D models. There are nice replacement Godzilla figures readily available and I found a cool alien figure and some period correct mini tanks to install. I like the mini tanks because I have one of them positioned directly over that obnoxious flasher on the middle left of the playfield...

Chrome candy makes that bridge. I believe he does a package deal if you're interested in his other Godzilla mods.

The person you quoted, who has a store link in his post =)

There's VERY little in terms of period-appropriate STLs available. There are a bunch from the modern American Godzilla movies. Still cool, but not the same as the game. I've seen a lot of people installing figures from later periods, like the Mechagodzilla from the 1990s renewed (Heisei) movies. Still cool, again, not the right period. There just isn't much in terms of Godzilla/Mecha/Rodan/et al. You're better off with the vinyl figures. There are smaller (3") Gashopon vinyl figures which work if you put them in the back of the game (e.g. Rodan/Mothra). Mechagodzilla: highly recommend you get a "Mechagodzilla 1974" from Bandai. Available on ebay.

also, there ARE actual japanese tank STLs which are the models used in the films - they look somewhat different from the Shermans you have there.

Hope you like it, not for sale

Check out my DIY Flipper Coil Fan discussion:

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/diy-pinball-flipper-coil-fans

I don't see a benefit of slowing down the flipper coil fans as there is no worry of "over" cooling them.

Oh man, bash toy head spinning. That's... Aces! Reliable mount to reduce wear?

we will see, i didnt do a long test. Time will tell, but it looks solid at the moment

Cool maybe slow it down just a fraction, think it’s a little too quick currently.

this is so fun!

The ones I have are Japanese type 61 tanks. Probably copied from Shermans but still period correct Japanese tanks...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_61_(tank)

See that's what I get for trying to swing around in a thread like this LOL. I am thinking more of the Chi-Nu and Chi-Tos from WWII, but those are actually even more appropriate since they're from the 60s. NICE!

Yeah I have a friend or two who are military geeks and I knew if I put something in that wasn't at least close to being correct, they would hammer me on it. I found a website that talked about the military equipment used in the old Gz movies and the Type 61 was listed! The 1/144 size models worked great for the spot I put them and they don't block the view of anything. They are pretty readily available on eBay.

Thx. I saw his first bridge, haven't seen this one.

That’s no problem, RPM is adjustable. Still in testing phase. If you look at the animation that’s also fast

Dude. I have no idea how you pulled that off but it's great.

I'm guessing, cut the head off, and throw a 6v motor in it thats tried to the flasher .......just a guess ....I'd probably go with a low rpm option to keep it not so wild or wire in a speed controller to dial it in more, no clue if this is how it was done I'm just guessing. Very cool also

I went with Wizard Mods because I thought they looked nicer than the others.

Yes

London Bridge vs Tower Bridge

Amazing idea, looks great!!!

Can I get someone to take a pic of the small node board under the left flipper button, please?

Thanks

For those who have purchased the Flamin' Flames speaker lights and the city landscape acrylic:

Maybe I'm just stupid, but I'm getting a little confused on what to buy here for the best look. I plan on buying aftermarket speakers like I do with my other Premiums (or pinsound speakers or pinwoofer), so Flamin' Flames, Acrylic landscape, plastic canvas set, and if I'm getting 5.25" speakers, the cutout panels and acrylic color backs too? Or do I need to keep the flat black panels without cutouts for the flamin flames?

Again, if this is posted somewhere or even on his site, I apologize. When I see a wall of text, I can sometimes miss certain things.

Nice!
