OK, just saw this and I think I just had a pinball nergasm. OMG!

Trans looks awesome and the Pro I recently bought already came with your other alt. As much as I love that one, the more colorful look of this one will go well with the rest of the playfield.

I can't believe how much the speaker panel looks like it is backlit. I already have a speaker light kit on the way and along with you panel, it's REALLY going to pop!

I'm also getting the illuminated plunger from the refinery and the plunger plate decal is going to look really cool with that I think.

The rest are just really nice touches that are going to complete the package. My gawd my already hot pin is going to look unbelievable!

Fantastic work!

Ack, my bad! I don't know why I had it in my head that it was your work. I've been going through so many threads on this board since getting my Pro I got mixed up.

Sorry about that!

Looking at that apron with the row of lights near the top on each side, is that a feature of the prem/le or is that a modded apron? I've seen pics of prem/le that don't have those lights which has me confused.

Would love to have that look on my Pro. The Refinery apron is cool two but doesn't look the same.

Can anyone clarify for me?

^holy mother of the flying spaghetti monster! Click>Buy!

@Billy - thought so. I'm guessing no way to get that on the Pro.

Better move quick guys. Says there's only 2 left now. :p

LOL, I have a FSM emblem on the back of my car. The kind like the Darwin fish.

I've only had one comment about it so far. A dude pulled up along side me and stuck his head out the window and yelled, "Flying Spaghetti Monster, YEAAAAAH!" and then sped off.

Not sure what this means.

PM sent. Don't think that option was available when I purchased yesterday.

Ever since I put in a speaker light kit on my Pro, I can not wait for the panel decal. It's like the two are meant for each other. Nor can I wait for the translite and backbox light board. It's gonna be like a whole new machine and I only just got it.

Well, I'll make it a point to post a picture of mine when I get the decal on.

Nice things are worth the wait.

I'm debating on whether or not to try and install the backbox led kit now, or wait until the translite comes in. :p

Payment sent as soon as that email went out.

Also installed the Refinery custom back box LED kit today. Actually much easier than I thought it was going to be(for a noob like me). Already looks sweet with its light show. Can't wait(but I will patiently) for your translite now.

Hoping maybe it comes tomorrow. Then I can get some pix with my speaker lights.

Tracking says it should come today(fingers crossed). Any tips on applying the speaker decal?

Yes, it showed up today!

I had no problem with the decals. It took me a few tries with the speaker decal, just because I'm a perfectionist. I was worried that the adhesive would be too strong and may cause damage, but it was perfect.

I didn't even need to use painter tape for the apron. I noticed that when removing the originals that there was a slight outline of residue. Barely noticeable, but enough that it worked great as a guide for the new ones.

I put in the coin slot decals, shooter rod, and tournament cap as well. I kinda like the ST logo on the front of the coin door, so think I'm gonna leave that. I'll probably do the spinner at some point as well, even though I do kind of like the flashing that it makes. I could always remove it if I don't like it I guess.

Okay, now for the translite. It really is hard to describe how awesome it looks in real life. Photos just do not do it justice. The quality and richness of the colors is amazing. Then, the custom led back box just blows it out of the water. Along with the lighted speakers and decal, it's like a whole new machine and it POPS!

I want to show pictures of it so bad, but the room I have it in gets a lot of sun during the day. I'm going to wait until it gets dark to take some photos, so you can see it on a Pro.

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!

Thanks Aurich!

Here's a couple of pix (day & night shot). It still doesn't do it justice by a long shot!

You have to remove the rubber tip and the e-clip that secures the spring to the rod. I just used a pair of needle nosed pliers to grab it and pull it off. Takes a bit of effort but not much. It will just pull off. Then disassemble the rest of the washers/spring from the rod and pull it through the housing(pay attention to the order that everything goes back on). You can just use hand pressure to snap the e-clip back on.

I had never done it before either so I ended up removing the entire plunger assembly from the cabinet so I could work on it better. Knowing what I know now, it's not necessary to do that though.

I don't think it is a typo. It's more like a command. Like, "Protect & Defend Crew & Enterprise." They are orders for the player, not mission statements. At least that's the way I read it.

Ouch, I missed that too. :p

The pix I posted above show mine with the custom led board too. The extra interactive light show coming from the backbox now, is simply amazing!

Again, great job all around. This pin is getting to be as tricked out as a hot rod can be.

Yeah I used a pair of cotton gloves when removing the film. I went slow and it did take a bit of effort to remove. It didn't leave any residue though. I cleaned and thoroughly dried both sides of the translite glass before putting it in.

Yeah, definitely remove it.

No fuzzies from the gloves. It's very fine material so sticky material is not an issue with them. You don't need gloves though. You could probably just use a clean dish or hand towel to help hold it down while pulling the film off. Anything soft and non-abrasive. I was mainly just trying to avoid getting any fingerprints on it.

I bet the balls drain the same though.

+1 for the "Promium" term. I think my pin qualifies.

Next up...TimeBandit's WIP ramp light mod.

I'd dig some blue to go with my Promium.

I like what you got going on there Chet.

I just got my LOTR last week and they go together like Halloween and Christmas.

I hope the Refinery will at least take custom orders on demand. I was lucky enough to get one before they pulled it from their site. It just adds so much more to the game, on top of(or I should say, behind ) Aurich's amazing work.

I still just like to take a step back and admire my machine when I'm not playing. Especially with all the other mods I've put in. I wouldn't trade my "Promium" for a stock LE if you paid me.

It still kind of blows my mind a little how the speaker panel decal just gives off the impression that it is glowing. Not just in pics, but in real life, especially when you have speaker lights.
