I may have to create a collage separately in that case. This is from 2 combined art posters (world warriors, and champion edition) with everything already in place. Only thing i can modify is making them bigger to take up more space. I do understand your crowded point.

These are dope! Can I order a set? Did you make the fighter sticker too? So nice. Would pay, let me know.

Not bad. I think I would prefer an older art style to fit the 90s pin. Just my opinion tho.

Do you think making an original Bonus Game Scene background for the lower playfield would be overkill? I just hate looking at the “firehouse” scenery inside that has nothing to do with the game...

My vote is for this one, the ocean with more ship showing. I was just thinking about this...

YOU ARE AWESOME. This would go very nicely with a certain mod I know about.

Thanks brother! I also think it would look cool and should have an awesome effect with some upgraded LEDs down there. Also, if you are speaking of Latenite04's Headlamp mod, I would love that as well! First thing I have to figure out before doing all of this, is why doesn't my car kick back all the way when I hit it? The lower playfield plays well, and I still receive a "You Win" response after hitting it but, after seeing a few other videos, i noticed my car doesn't get kicked back enough to reveal the "Winner" light below the car. I doubt if the rod even reaches the optics in the back. I have run the Test Mode and when I chose the "Car Reset" test and hit the start button, nothing happens. Could this be a bad solenoid that needs to be replaced? I have already done some cleaning and removal of the lower playfield so I feel confident in doing the repair. Just need to know what to purchase and if it is indeed a bad solenoid. Thanks for any help in advance!

Solenoids don't go bad too often but it's possible, look for any loose wires and check the molex connector that attaches the release coil to the harness to make sure it's not worn. There's a few physical things that could be stopping it from working.

Chitownpinball asked me about printing a car closer in color to the lexus and if decals were possible. This is the first attempt so far, I'm waiting on actual decals.

latenite04 thanks so much for those pics with the info! I will pull the lower playfield tonight and go over it again. I know i tried pulling the release plate all the way forward and it would not register/contact. Right now i have it the furthest distance and it’s working but the car is not kicking back all the way. My next thought may be the spring length. I just changed them because the old ones were worn, but they may be a shorter length than the ones you show in the picture. Below is an attached pic of the ones i have installed. I bought these from Marco Specialties because i wasn't sure which springs to order and these looked close enough. Lol

As for your printed car, that looks awesome! Love the idea of decals you place over elements of the car to make it look more like a Lexus LS400. Genius. Is it possible the print can be sanded down? I only ask this because i wanted to (if possible of course) try my hand at polishing/sanding it down a bit to remove some of the print lines and smooth out some edges. I also know a resin caster/molder who has done some custom figures for me in the past. If we can get good looking results, we could ask her to make a small run of them for you. I wouldn’t need compensation at all. I would just love for us all to have better replacement for the horrendous og car that is in need of an major upgrade.

latenite04 do you have a link by chance for the correct springs? Or do you know the length so i may check Lowes/Home Depot? Thanks again.

That looks sooooo good. WOW.

Those are the correct springs according to the manual. You can also check the car rod to make sure it's not bent and doesn't have any gouges in it that would make it bind.

Here is a 1/43 scale of a Lexus LS400 I just purchased on eBay. Fingers crossed, I'm going to see if it fits when it comes in from HK. I'll break it down to it's shell and see if its easy to replicate. I did some color edits to make it look similar to the car in SF2. I may also add a "broken windows effect" to the glass. That might be a nice touch.

Lexus LS400 preview (resized).png

wow that is cool.

latenite04 Here is the video of the car crush problem I am having. Maybe you can tell what is going on...

I would remove the car crunch playfield and check if it will move back by hand. It looks like the car is hitting something. Is the front where it mounts cracked and re-glued? Maybe it's sitting a little low and the back of the car is running into the rod support.

wow this car looks awesome. i hope you can easily mod it to make it work in the pin. following!

Here are some "Losing Face" Figures I bought to try out on the playfield. The bloody faces really add to the beat em' up gameplay. I tried to line up most fighters with their corresponding targets. They would definitely look better on the playfield without the "CONTINUE?" base but I paid a pretty penny for them so I don't wont to destroy them either. I may try to mold/replicate a set and try them again w/o the base.

Custom2.jpgCustom1.jpg

latenite04 Just removed everything again and physically slid the rod myself without the release plate and it doesn't look like anything is restricting movement. What i am thinking is that either the springs are too short or the flipper is not hitting hard enough to actually move the car. I have noticed less flipper power the further back the car goes. Could that be an issue?

Is your eos switch adjusted correctly? Is it closed until just before the flipper travel ends?

Ill double check that. If not, do I need to loosen the screws and reseat the flipper?

You would need to bend the switch blades a little. Also make sure the contact on the eos switch is clean.

Piece of black electrical tape?

Sorry Malenko I meant they would look better without the black base, period. If you notice a few of them are a little crooked, it's because the base doesn't sit completely over the plastic playfield and may hang off a bit. Blanka and Zangief are good examples. Had to kinda turn Blanka sideways to fit and Zangief with his mowhawk and base make him too tall to sit up on top of his target without hitting the glass. The glass will not slide closed with him but removing the base would give me that 1/2 inch clearance and make a lot of these look better on the playfield.

Looking for some help here. I switched out a few bad bulbs from the Lightbox while powered off. Now, when i turn the power back on, only the flashers are working. Do i need to change a fuse or did i screw up something worse? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hey Benny,

I would imagine a fuse has blown, classic example of what your experiencing I did that quite recently.

First thing I would check is the GI fuses:

F3
F3
F6
F8
F9

If you find a blown fuse replace it (with machine off) then keep the Playfield up and power up the machine and keep an eye on the fuses to see if they blow again, if they do then something is tripping it. Otherwise the GI should be back and happy days.

Thanks,
Scott

Dude, you rock! It was a simple 15amp fuse replacement on F8 (Lightbox Illumination). Got a 6 pack from Auto Zone a mile away. All good now! ✌

Great result, happy gaming dude.
Hopefully you can get championship mode started, after owning the game for 4 months I still haven't been able to hit all 12 characters yet.

But we wouldn't want it to be to easy anyways now would we

Cheers,
Scott

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone knows what you need to do to get the game announcer to yell outside "BULLSEYE" I had an issue with the bracelet switch which kept activating when not touched, and I heard the game yell that out, fixed the switch but I have no idea how to get him to say that, I get BULLSEYE (if missed I hear "Early" or "Late" but nothing on BULLSEYE) when launching and hit the bracelet after the ball passes through Blanka but there is no sounds besides Zangief laughing.

Any idea guys?

Thanks
Scott

sc0ttf There are two targets on the Bracelet Target. The rectangular area is a normal shot and will give you whatever value is shown when you launch the ball. If the center pin in the rectangle is hit, it will double the value. So a “bullseye” 20 million becomes 40 mill. The weird thing is that if you hit the center pin, Sagat will laugh but if you hit the rectangle, it will yell “Bullseye!”....very confusing. Not sure if that answers the question but this is what i have found..

Just wanted to share some upgrades/repairs that i’ve done so far in the month that i’ve own this baby. Gave the playfield and glass a full cleaning (the parts that i could reach without a complete teardown). Swapped out all the bulbs on the gi and backbox with Comet LEDs minus two flashers under the ball launch rail I cant reach lol. Translucent Titan rubbers for the playfield and orange for the flippers. New Gottlieb flipper bats. New custom apron cards. New lower playfield window, custom “wrecked” car and new springs. New Smart target that was missing in the back. I honestly went through all 25 pages and read every comment and feedback you guys left. It was what made me confident that i could install everything myself, even though this is the first pinball machine i’ve ever opened up before. So, thank you everyone. Still have “Cliffys,” a new custom backbox translite, and some playfield toys coming in, but i love this project so far and putting in your own work makes it more likely to stay in the collection for a long time. Pics of before and after below (so far)

Thanks Benny and welcome to the SF2 club.

That clears it up I think the fact I have a sticker on the bracelet is forcing the centre target to be also pressed each time the target is hit which explains why I only ever he's Zangief laugh and get double points when hit.

(See pic)

Your machine is looking amazing looks like a completely different maybe from the top to bottom comparison shots, all him need now is a nice custom translite, apron blades and upgrade to a colour DMD and your all set

Highly recommend the blades I picked up they look amazing, let me know if your interested I'll dig up the link

Cheers,
Scott

Please share some pictures of your wrecked car mod! I'm not sure yet what to do with mine.

Found this ‘74 Ford Escort diecast at Target for $8. Cut the back out with some wire clippers and gave it some damage. I personally love the look. Its temporary until my Lexus LS300 model comes in and i can customize it.

I love it! Really nice work "damaging" the car.

Hey Benny,

Great work on your car it looks fantastic.

I was lucky to get a replacement car off Latenight, the ones with the headlights, they look amazing.

COOOL!!!

The mention of bracelet target made me remember that I recreated it because mine was in terrible shape. Just printed on sticker sheet and put heavy duty packing tape over it. Lasted two years so far. Thought I'd share. A couple of different ways depending on your taste, etc.

Leaving the club today. It's been fun, but i don't do Gottliebs.

Sold it to buy a Black Hole.

LOL. Good choice. Love my HH. Wish I had room for multiple wide bodies.

I thought it would be fun to turn the original SF2 Super Nintendo box art into a translite. Definitely where it all began for me.

Neat!

1. It's adjustment 35 in the Game Adjustments menu
1b. Tournament changes the random awards/fighter order to be all the same to even up scoring between players
2. Try adjusting the switch arm/checking that the switch registers and nothing is broken
4. Yes, I think you just have to email him. https://www.passionforpinball.com/WIP/SF2-2017-PF-set.jpg

I have seen an awesome technique to color match hobby acrylics. You can use a sheet of transparency and paint on it. Let it dry, and put it next to the cabinet. Those little paints go on sale all the time at Hobby Lobby. I think those are cool to use, right? I wouldnt necessarily us on the PF, but the cabinet.....game on.

The acrylic testors set has some close matches for the cabinet blue, orange, yellow and red. The area around the start button was bare wood. How big of an area do you need to cover?

Anyone know where we can get coin insert / reject plastic for our coin doors?

Will this fit a SF2 coin door? Or is that part for the silver doors?
