Joined the club (my first pin!) a few days ago. Landed a good deal from a Pinsider that bought it from T and T a couple of years ago. Awesome shape for a game from 1988. Loving it so far, going to make a few small changes and play the heck out of it!

Oh...LIONMAN!

Love it.

Thanks! And noted

Comet hands down in my limited experience. I absolutely love the frosted sunlight for the backbox and GI, and the Matrix stuff is fun to do custom lighting.

dashv where did you get your artblades? Happy with them?

I spent some quality time with Lionman over the last week. Had my longest game yet, and realized just how good the flow can be when I’m actually hitting shots. Now I’m thinking I should really do it up right

Seems like something is wrong. When I have that situation my locked ball is kicked out and replaced by the new ball, but still just a single ball is in play. I’m sure someone else will chime in, I remember reading something similar at one point….

Bospins no lie a few days ago my wife and I were playing Swords and she had a 2 ball multiball, I wasn’t paying too much attention to what caused it, but I’m guessing it was my reply to your post

I know it’s a System 11 and a “flat plastic” sort of pin…but I’m really thinking I’d like to make some 3D mods for my SOF. Nothing permanent, just a few things to up the world under glass feel.

Currently thinking of walling-in the upper PF ala WOZ (make it look like castle walls) and maybe doing a similar treatment of bricks etc around the Magic Tunnel. I don’t have a 3D printer but have a very talented 3D artist in the family that can help me with modelling.

What do you guys think? Should I leave it alone or go for it? Currently thinking that rather than try to match the original blue rock look (and failing) going with grey-brown walls or something like that. Just in the spitballing stage right now, but it does have me intrigued and there’s a local 3D printer here that could print my models on the cheap…

That mod is actually on thingverse still I believe. It’s neat but not necessarily what I was thinking of; I was thinking rather than covering the ramp just making a “gate” to the magic tunnel. I’ll run all of my ideas by my brother - he’s brutally honest about this stuff and has an insane eye for what works and what doesn’t. Guess that comes with over 25 years of working in the movie biz!

If I do manage to get something together I’ll make whatever I do available to the group for sure.

Any tips on speaker upgrades? Mine work fine but I'm thinking that they could sound a lot better...anyone have success going to more modern speakers?

Well, if anyone is looking in Canada I’m reluctantly selling my Swords. Redone in 2017 by TNT, it needs nothing. Pretty much mint save a bit of planking on the upper PF. PM me for details/pics, local pickup in Kelowna, BC Canada right now at $4600 USD/$6000 CDN. Apologize if this is the wrong place to post this, it’s up on the Canadian pins for sale thread as well.
