Thinking about selling?

What are you guys using for instruction and info cards?

Well I ended up making my own...

I agree, I will get around to making some black ones by the end of the year if nobody else beats me to it.

This game looks really cool. I hope I can play one some day if not own one.

I've got one of you want to try it out sometime. I'm probably no more than 15 minutes away. Game works great!

I may have to take you up on this offer. Weird we both have a T2 and a BG....

I was thinking the same thing lol

There isn't a site you can buy individual plastics is there? I am missing the plastic that goes on top of the ramp in the back right corner area, and the tip of the plastic just to the left of the tunnel entrance is broken off. All I see is full sets for sale.

I have extra used plastics laying around. I am sure I can help you out.

Wow, I just realized the 3 of us are all within like 15 miles of each other.

Lets party! LOL.

Where were you when I was asking for that plastic? D: Oh well, I am working with arakissun who is parting out a SOF in Bulgaria. If anyone wants parts from him maybe we can share the international shipping ride.

Awe man, sorry. I just happen to stumble across these last couple of SOF parts wanted posts. I have 2 used plastic sets, so I can help you with that plastic too if you want it. What else do you need? I have a bunch of extra used parts, not everything, but quite a bit. Just let me know.

Also, your head lock was mailed out today!

Do you have this one, not broken at the thin bit?

I have 2 of these, but unfortunately both are cracked. One is cracked at the thin part at the bottom, and the other is cracked by the nose of the beast.

I think that one is the easiest one to crack. I wonder if a set of protectors (basically a piece of plexi cut in that shape and installed underneat the original) would be a decent idea.

I need a Left Slingshot Plastic, the only damaged plastic on my entire machine!

I can help you with that. Just shoot me a message about it.

Already sent off the email to them about it, but this has been depressing for me all day. Had to vent a little about it. Ironically, a sheet of back glass was in the same box and it was fine. I was more worried about it in shipping.20140115_140019.jpg

I gave up and ordered the set. I only needed that one plastic that always breaks, does anybody want anything else out of it?

I just bought a SoF and love it.But I am so bummed out... I had an order placed with Marco specifically because they said they had the SoF Decal set in stock, so I placed a large order for other parts as well, all excited to finally finish up my SoF.. then the bubble bursts and they don't have the decal set. Can anyone help me here.. I looked on Kijiji and Ebay and nothing has come up

For the inserts? I ordered a set and scanned it. PM me if you want the file.

I have a set that only 1 decal was used from. If this will help you, shoot me a message and we can work something out. image.jpg

Grr! What is it with machines from this era using rivets instead of fasteners? It's drilling time...image-818.jpg

Does anybody want the old one? It's not too bad with the crystal clear tape on it.image-691.jpg

New washers are installed to protect the weak spot.

Anybody figured out a clever way to support the ramp, so the plastic isn't load bearing?image-371.jpg

I'd suggest using a slightly larger fender washer. The washer needs to stick out farther then the plastic in order to be effective.

Please take off your translite and take a pic! Thank you!

Ok since you asked, here you go!

First with the translite on....

Translite off, camera kept going blurry trying to take this and the next one!

Here is what I used, all LEDs are Ablaze 3 LEDs from Pinball Life:

25- Red
9- Orange
4- Cool White
1- Yellow (The middle bulb of the 3 yellow lights in a vertical row on the left side)
7- Standard 44/47 bulbs (All the yellow bulbs besides the middle one I mentioned above)

I left a few sockets empty.

Made these today...

Finally joined the club, picked up a nice example today along with a whirlwind!

How hard would it be to make Black background ones with grey symbols like the cabinet art? I'd like to black em out! p.s. Sys11 4 Life.

Hoping to join this club in the near future. I played it at a guys house when I went to pick up another pin and loved it.

That's a nice little set you've got there.

A lot of the posts on my SoF have been snapped off. Ive replaced all of them but this one. Is this the correct replacement?

So I have a dead flipper on my new SOF and need some help.
Wrong coil (way strong coil) was in there, not sure if it was thrown in because that's what someone had on hand or if on purpose to make the ramp shot easier. Put a new (weaker) coil in just now, but moving very sluggish.
Hoping someone can take a pic of this area so I can confirm wiring is correct, this is what I had...

Upper middle flipper

Put an 11722 in wired like above and very weak, sluggish

Nevermind, was a bad EOS switch

Hah, I have those three System 11s right next to each other too!

Just got Swords the other day. A great game that more people really need to play.

Its a long shot I know, But does anyone have an upper ramp for this game? Either NOS or mostly undamaged?

Swords of FUN!!!!! A lot of you probly didn't know there was a orchastrion switch built in on the soundboard. Check out this video from TNT Amusements that shows it. Also Brian Schmidt, the master of music, comments on this video too.

Can someone help me price these parts? I have some SoF parts I'd like to sell, but I have virtually no idea what the going rates for parts are. Trouble is, some things show up so infrequently, it's hard to use ebay or past posts as a guide. Please tell me if these are reasonable prices? I don't want to gouge anyone!

System 11B MPU/Driver board. Includes SoF roms. Game was working fine when pulled (played a few games) though I haven't gone over it with a DMM to ensure perfection, so pulled working: $250+shipping?

System 11B (SoF) upper alpha displays and lower numeric displays BUT bottom right not working. Unclear why (did absolutely no troubleshooting). Includes board. $175+shipping?

System 11B (SoF) sound board. Pulled rocking some awesome beats and sounds incl SoF sound ROMs. $125+shipping?

Honestly, if I'm way off base, please tell me! Thanks!

MPU price is about right

Display is around $100 too high (new LED ones can be had for $150-$200)

Sound board is around $50-$75 too high.

Thanks! I'll adjust the prices and post a new thread (and I wish I could find LEDs at that price or pull one of the displays to use as a numeric for my HS. My HS needs some love).

LED displays for SOF

http://xpinpinball.com/products/displays/XP-WMS11610

$200 for orange, more for red, green or blue.
After you buy that, pull the glass you need for High Speed ($55 value), then sell the rest of the board with 2 working displays for another $50-$60.

So to me that would really only cost you $90 for a new display.

I am now a proud owner of this amazing machine. I am in love with the sound! its mesmerizing and really takes me back to the days of 80's fantasy. It may be the best audio Ive ever heard on a pin. I enjoy the strategy quite a bit too. I cant ever see getting rid of this baby, its going right next to High speed.

A pin owner who doesn't know the name of the machine... matches my perception of the type of customer who would buy a pin from a dealer like TNT.

If you watch the video, it is a joke from what an old lady was calling it.

Ok this is bugging me, so is it mr Balrog who beckons you to "CHALLENGE MEH!!!" ?
And then proceeds to scream out "LIONMAN"
So is it Balrog speaking in the third person saying "LIONMAN, DEFEAT THE BALROG!" ?

Seems a bit odd speaking in the third asking someone to defeat themselves...

And then you've got the giant warrior dude being raised out of the center of the playfield, he must be the Titan the Balrog ordered to be released upon himself, because it's really all in Balrogs head, he's challenging himself in eternal battle in his mind castle. Right?

wwwhhhhoooooaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!! that's deep
