EDIT: I was not prepared for the run on these bodies and an now out of stock on the modern bodies in clear. I'll need to order replacments from Germany in a few weeks; for now I have removed clear as a color option.

I was trying to figure out why I was selling a few of single pop bumper bodies, skirts, and bases in clear and then why I had a customer ask me by email. I now know.

For those whom are ordering via the link above; you want the modern body, the skirt, and the clear base.
Many are forgetting the clear base; you can see the white base if you don't replace it. Example from another game:
example white base

Loose Coin boxes... on a premium or LE?
Geebus; a new cost cutting low for Stern.
I'd be pissed if my coinbox was banging around inside my LE.

As does PBL:

I'm sure pinball resource sells them too.

I've never had anyone in years of supplying these skirts ever tell me they were too long.

I just went to the garage and checked; and these are spot on the correct size for Gottlieb and williams.
I checked against some unknown white repos and they were indeed a bit long. Mine looks like they may be a 0.02inches longer.
Weird. Personally; I'd just adjust the switch gap as I have the tool and it different isn't that much.

It's not fair to measure from top to bottom like that. The mating surface is the flat part of the skirt.
That said; the difference is between the bottom of the skirt and the tip. I'm guessing the difference is much less than 0.07inches.

It's really immaterial at this point. The mold is made and parts are bought. No changing it at this point given the costs involved.
As I stated; it's been this way for years (on my product) - so not a wide spread problem at this point.

Confirmed 1/16inch or 0.064 inches longer as compared to a unknown white skirt I procured (probably from pinball life) years ago.
Weirdly; my original MonsterBash had orange Gottlieb skirts in it and my skirts match them identically. I'm guessing that the previous owner put in Gottlieb skirts because he was able to get them in opaque orange.

These really have been used interchangeably for years; but, I can tell you with certainty that I will not be modifying our mold to make these shorter. That would be cost prohibitive and just not worth it for 1/16th of an inch. Even Pinball Life lists the same skirt as interchangeable for Gottlieb; stern, Jersey Jack, etc.

If someone reads this and feels 0.064inch is "critical"; I wish them luck finding clear skirts the right size. I'm sure eventually; someone will copy my design because that's what happens.

Afaik, I'm the only one that produces the bases in color. I also beat Marcos pricing.
That said, I understand the desire to order everything from one place.

NO
As a matter of policy; I don't allow backorders. The reasons are obvious... But mainly I don't like holding peoples money.
Please hold your order until I have stock.
I can manually add people to the stick notification list for clear... But you'll need to contact me via pm or email with your email address

expect to order the clear pop bodies later tonight... with luck I'll have them mid-next week.

Expect to have stock of the clear bodies sometime on Thursday 7/28 barring no unforeseen delay by FedEx.

zomg. so "stern" complicated the trough boards so they aren't simple Optos.
And they appear to have used the stupid use an red LED as phototransistor trick.
Unsure how adding a microcontroller to a trough board does anything to reduce cost. What it does is lock customers to non-repairable boards that have to be ordered at the factory ... so much for your #righttorepair.

I'd be willing to give it a shot. The problem is I do not have access to a game to design one.
For the PF right? not the grab itself, correct?

Can you put some tracing paper down and scan the keyline on your game?
If you can, can scan, and send it to me; I can do an initial mockup.

Clear Pop Bumper bodies are back in stock.
For GZ; it's my understanding you'd need a single body, base, and skirt in clear.

Goto:
http://pinball-mods.com/url/PopBumperCFG?modern

select "Modern" as a pop type
select "Clear" as the color
leave number of pops as 1
and deselect the PopCap (14) as most people won't need a clear popcap.

Then click "Add Selected Items to Cart" button under the parts list.

Pop Bumper Configurator

Note: I do not sell the GZ specific popcap nor do I sell the flying saucer mod some people seem to have. For those; I'm sure they've been discussed ad-nauseum in this thread.

I gave everyone on the "notify me" list a 24hour head start.
Some went out today; many more will be packed tonight after dinner.

I think Titan Pinball also sells the holder. Or at least they had some at TPF this year.

All clear pop sets ordered yesterday are at the post office and on the way to you.
