Finally got mine set up, Matt Rasmussen's old SOF, from what I found it went to one party then to PINB on here and after talking to Brian and convincing him shipping to Canada is easy, he sold it to me, super fast a lot like F14 I think and I am lucky to have a nice example. Added some Pinballpro speakers, with the music on this they are a great upgrade....set up next to my Pinbot, WH20 will going beside it as well.IMG_0249.JPG. Planning to add a topper that came with my MM when I bought it and a skull shooter rod, maybe try to find a place for a skeleton/coffin from Mezelmods too as I have an extra. Thinking that the way the lights black out sometimes it might be interesting candidate for black pinballs too.

I just purchased a SOF a few weeks ago and it was in good shape. I just finished shopping it out and a few upgrades. One of the things I did was install cointaker LEDs, but I create my own kit rather than just buying theirs. Just like with my other pin, I created a spreadsheet of all the parts and the LEDs and where they go. Anyway I thought others might find it useful because if you select your own LEDs instead of the kit you can save about $75 and it seems the details on the LEDs used in the playfield never get posted by anyone. Hope others find it useful.

Well I need to do a lot of work on mine .

I just finished the 3D model of the custom shooter handle that I am designing for my SOF. Should have it printed next week. Then I can make a mold and cast a solid plastic one. Can't wait. It's gonna be coooool.

Anyone in the Bay Area? Would like to play and/or buy?

System 11 for the win bruh!

ahhhh the most asked question... doesanyone have a center ramp or able to make one? I need one?

Came here for Furious S*** words -

I'm in the club! Made a trade for my TFTC and all I can say is LIONMAN!!!!! What an awesome game! Love the sounds, love the layout, love the challenge of the game.

Need to re-pin the G.I. on the right side of the back box but other then its in great shape

Hi SoF owners. I can source brand new SoF translights if anyone is interested. I am also offering to restock Marco's supply next month but for now they'll be cheaper from me.

looks great, but also looks like it's going to stick out pretty far. Like JP gun far. Can't even tell you how many times the JP gun has shot me in the coin purse.

Finished up the cast part a while back but never posted a pic. Here is the finished shooter rod handle. It isn't horribly long, about 5". It actually feels nice in the hand too. My favorite part is the leather wrapping. It just makes it feel like a real sword handle. I'm thinking about doing another one, but with no cross and a copper color hilt. I think that could look pretty good too. I would like to do a walk through of the design and build in a separate thread (I have a bunch of pictures). If I ever get around to it I will post a link to it.

I am not in the club. But I really want to be...Anyone selling in Bay Area>? That shooter rod is amazing. I already get jabbed in the groin with my IJ. But the pain may be worth it cuz this looks amazing

that looks like a booby trap for me to ring my coin purse on. I'm getting Jurassic park gun flashbacks all over again.

LIONMAN!

Oh wait...wrong thread.

Anyone know where I can buy the upper playfield flipper? Mine is a bit discolored and I'm looking for a white replacement.

Seconded. Been meaning to ask for a while myself.

I have a complete, 100% working but unshopped Swords of Fury as well as a fully populated SoF playfield I am considering selling. Is anybody here interested, and what do you think I could get for these items?

The complete machine has a playfield with a lot of protective mylar, but it still has a few wear spots. The ramps are in good shape. The cabinet is great minus one or two scratches.

Here are some photos. https://www.flickr.com/photos/62766853@N07/sets/72157647484173277/

[email protected] if interested.

I don't have an answer to the question but you may get good results with alternating oxi clean soaks/Novus cleaning in a pinch.

Maybe $1600 for your SOF? Don't know what your extra PF is worth.

there is one in Calgary, AB, Canada going for $$2,200.00.... crazy eh... worst yet someone will buy it

I also tried finding that upper playfield flipper... to no avail.

Thanks. I don't think the discolored flipper is on the surface. I think it's a breakdown of the plastic itself. So the discolor is all the way through.

I'll give it a try and see. Just thought I could order a new one to save me the hassle.

Does anyone know where I can pick up a center ramp? Can't find any available at the regular sources. Thanks.

If you can't find a replacement, I wonder if a coat a gloss white spray paint would hold up.

I also have a complete repro plastics set I want to include with this sale. I'd like to sell the 100% working/complete machine (wear on mini playfield MAGIC letters), populated playfield (with very nice mini playfield, excellent ramps, and everything else you'd need to restore), and the plastic kit altogether.

Would prefer a local sale. $2200 for the whole shebang.

Actually that's an idea I haven't thought of. I'm in the skill trades department at the factory I work in. Not to mention the welder that's in my garage. So I could easily weld up a longer shaft to a flipper. Thanks for the help.

if it's discolored paint it. Holds up fine and looks great. paint the color then clear it. I painted mine silver.

Shopping out my SoF!!!! The previous owner took the PF apart and I plan in cleaning and waxing it but need some advice on putting the mini pf back together. Any pics of where to put the screws back in? or what order. Thanks!

A bit pricey but seems to be in stock.

Thanks, but I think I'll pass. If i cant read the website then I'm not ordering. Call me paranoid, but I just don't trust a website I can't read= over seas somewhere. Has anyone ordered from them?

I just checked this out as it would be nice to have a spare....click the German flag at the top you get an English conversion button...

Quick question for all you seasoned SoF owners. Got mine over the weekend and I am busy shopping it out. I can;t tell from the pictures most people post but is the back of the playfield, where the top of the back meets up with the bottom of the head, is that sloped? I was racking my brain last night on how to fix it because it looked like it was misaligned and then it dawned on me that maybe the gap on the top left above the magic drop targets was intentional.

Can anyone confirm this?

Cant picture what you are referring to. Can you post up a pic of what gap you are talking about?

Yeah. I will post it when i get home from work. It just seems like the PF it higher on the right. Like it's misaligned. Again, I'll post a pic tonight. Thanks!

The top of backboard should be level with the top of the cabinet/bottom of the head. How off is it from side to side?

right side seems pretty flush. Left side is about 1/3 maybe half inch gap. I tried reseating it by lifting it up and putting it back down but it doesn't seem to make a difference.....Like the brackets that hold it are off or something.

Was the post in front of the drain stock? Do you all keep it in or remove it? Game seems too easy with it in.

It's in. I plan on keeping it in until I get a chance to play it for a few weeks. Plus I have a lot of visitors so it might be nice to have them check it out and not drain all the time. Plus my wife was excited about the post so she doesn't drain as much so I'll leave it for a bit.

I've been keeping a lazy eye out for a SoF for a couple years now, and finally got a one a week ago It's a ton of fun, though, the layout is designed in such a way that I can easily keep the ball from draining... 2+ multiballs pr ball sometimes if that's all I go for. The jackpot takes lots of ball coordination to get though.

How does one increase the jackpot beyond 1.5m? I have my game set on freeplay, does that have anything to do with it not increasing?

-Lin

I believe the jackpot is cumulative. It goes up every game until collected then starts all over, yes? Just play a few games and not collect it....I think that's how it works.

Also, has anyone found those spinner decals for the balrog u-turn? I have one of each (one open, one closed) but need another set. I may just make my own if I run out of luck as all I can find is the shiny drop target decals/

Just had a killer game and had to share...

Ok Two puzzlers for you. Here is a shot my my PF. If you look at the back you'll seem that one side of the back is higher than the othere, you can see more bolts. I fiddled around for an hour trying to get it even with no luck. I'm at the point that I might just tilt the game.....silly as it seems. Did I bend something?

Next puzzler is the shooter rod. I went to replace the spring but couldn't get it out. I took the E clip off and then took the shooter tip rubber off and this is what I found.

Normally I just take the E clip off and it all comes off. But the end of this one is tapered. It's actually KINDA pointed at the end. Anyone seen this before? Was it a hack? My plan is to file that edge off so I can get everything off. Any other suggestions?

Last question. I bought the game taken apart. The prev owner was going to shop it but didn't have the time, so I got a deal. I am doing a pretty good job of putting it all back together, he bagged each section separately. BUT, not that I am on the mini playfield I have that mounted, I have the drop targets mounted, I have the moving lights above the drop targets, I have pretty much all the cables plugged in but I can't figure out what catches the ball when it falls behind the drop targets. Am I missing a piece? What does it look like. I still have some more parts to put on but nothing LOOKS like it would be it. Any idea? Send a pic of what it looks like. if you can.
