Quoted from pinmister:Looks awesome and I am interested but wondering about timing of the mech. I own Rolling Stones LE with the pop up post and it takes quick moves to save the ball with the pop up post and flipper buttons(sometimes not fast enough). Wondering about the lag with mechs? Are they meant to save the ball quickly or to block the lanes for x amount of time during certain modes? I love the footswitch and it ties in perfect with Ghostbusters. Cool mod
great question - milli-second lag to the point where it feels instant so you can save a ball most times but as you know multiballs get hectic at times so you got watch balls going everywhere so some balls do escape unless you stand on the switch and keep em closed. There are cable length restrictions under the playfield, any longer and lag will be introduced.
Quoted from delt31:Looks cool. Following to see what the price is. Someone mentioned 3k which I’m sure can’t be real but you never know. Regardless props to OP for bringing this to anyone as an option. Much more talented than I’ll ever be when it comes to something like this. Great job
Maybe the next mod can be a really cool walking stay puff (more advanced version of the OOS mezel mod, which always made noise while it was on).
price is still going to be around the $800 AUD +- $20 either way just need to get the 3d printed parts re quoted - should have the designs finished today, made some improvements to the coin door area yesterday.
Quoted from Jokerman:Looks awesome and will PM you separately
Just one q: Sorry if I missed this somewhere, however being OCD about cables, can the external cabling plug in and out at the coin door? That way when not playing, the external cabling can be stored - and conversely plugged in for use only during gameplay.
Thanks!
another good question - I originally was going to have plugs for the power and foot pedal wires but when you have 2 plugs with 2 parts each it was getting up another $60 to have low profile 90 degree plugs otherwise they jut out too much. Personally I am going to switch from coin door to a hole in the underside that way you will only see a cable coming from the leg leveller - you could opt for dis-connectable plugs under the cabinet. Also for the Aussie and some other country games the available hole in the coin door is smaller and limits the space for 2 plugs, switch and on light.
Quoted from TicTacSeth:Swinks also made an amazing custom Ghostbusters flipper that is the size of a carrot flipper. I haven’t got it yet, but it’s on my list of future mods!
yes I did but people want ready made stuff and did not want to tap a hole so never sold well. The beauty of my flipper was that once the shafts were in you could swap the bats in a matter of a minute from regular to carrot length to even under size of regular. It was an experiment that worked but not supported.
Quoted from TicTacSeth:I was also thinking, I’ll probably attach a magnet to it so I can put it up on the leg when I’m not using it.
That is a great idea for restraining the cables, have some magnets that I use for the Snackbar Mods that would be perfect, might have to trial that....
As for the foot pedal it does have rubber underneath so will not damage your floor but also a hole so it could be hung up though would need a strong magnet.
