Sign me up. Lets see some pics of mods you've got! First question, has anyone ordered stuff from the places over seas? How did it work out? Shipping time?

Not T2 related but I order parts from Pinball.co in Australia and the rates were semi-reasonable + I got it to California within a week! It was awesome! I would definitely recommend these guys as they have funky Capcom e.t.c. parts that are hard to find in the U.S.
Must one have on a cheesy coat from the late seventies early eighties to get past the velvet rope?

You want a tip? Multiball. Then go for multiball. Then, shoot for multiball. Then payback time.
Hint? Multiball is where it's at.
Video?

OK, I'll post the first T2 question. I recently got a glare guard for my T2, which I absolutely love. However, on the right underside of the guard, there is a reflection of light coming off the table. Looking closer, I suspect it's coming from one of the three GI bulbs in the very back right corner. On the plastic top, there is a small oval where some wiring is going down through, and one of the 3 bulbs is shining right through this small opening. There are two other bulbs next to it, but are not exposed by the opening. Anybody else have this same small opening? Should I just pull that one bulb to take the reflection off the bottom of my glare guard? Seems like the other two would illuminate the back corner just fine. Heck, I'm not even sure anyone would notice if the entire corner wasn't lit, so two bulbs should be more than enough. Thoughts?
Here are some photos of my sample T2 machine
http://gallery.myhomegameroom.com/gallery/t2_sample
It's been torn down completely and rebuilt. It plays well, it's just ugly
Unfortunately, the samples and protos were not diamondplated, so the playfield is beat. The cabinet is rough as well, and the artwork is different on protos and samples than production games
It's a neat piece of history, which is why I kept it, and why I spent 100+ hours reconditioning it.
Neat John- That pin has been played plenty, it's too bad. Never seen a proto besides the video where Steve Ritchie shows off the pin. Really cool red light boards, no decal at the cannon and blue side panels/blue backside. Without looking, different speaker grille too?
and in other news- Exactly how many stock images of the t-1000 are in/on the Pin? I think I've counted three. The right side plastic, the back wall decal and a dmd animation- anyone see any more?
My first pin I ever owned. Absolutely love it, it will never leave the bunker, groundbreaker for w/b with the video mode.
Quoted from spfxted:I'll look into getting Shirts made. T-Shirts & Button Front!
I am down with buying some T2 club exclusive shirts. I can use them for my upcoming tournament if they are ready. I like where this is going!
I love the club idea. I'd like to see the mods ideas etc. I just emailed Andy at judgedreddpinball last night about a lighting mod for side targets the cannon fires to.
Super thread!!
I'm in! My T2 is awesome and t-shirts would be sweet. I've been doing tons of work to it and I recently decided to just go nuts and upgrade the hell out of it (work in progress). I think at some point I would like to do a PF swap, but I think it's going to be extremely difficult to find a NOS or Like New PF that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Once I get some extra cash I'll start shopping for one and see what I come up with...

Yes, there are a few other little differences, too.
As you mentioned, the speaker grilles are 'W' logos, not solid red.
The backboard decal is missing - wasn't installed on samples or protos. Same for the underramp decal on the right ramp. The ramp had no protectors - I got a set from a partout and put them on a new Pinball inc ramp, as the original was just destroyed. The metal bracket under the H/K ship was flat, no 90 degree bend like production.
The gun handle was made using a different type of casting compared to production games.
Some colors on the playfield were different. Some lettering on the lower cab is different. There are probably other minor things I'm forgetting.

Oof, what a difference a DiamondPlate makes. Still looks badass though!
Thanks for the pics.
As far as shirts go...I have a guy I can check with here, unless any of you are printers or have a great contact. Also, what should be on the shirt? A big Exoskeleton fer sur...but what about text? I'll be back? Pinball Is Back? Pinball...if you wan't to live.

"Pinball ... If you want to live." 4sure. "I'll be" to corny & over done.
Quoted from spfxted:Yeah, the H/K mod is great...AND protects the ship!
Well the more I think about you are right since its a vacuum formed... sorry!
i'm thinking liquid nitrogen tanker replica (lit up) mod
Where it can go, no idea yet lol- maybe the shooter lane
Or figure out a way to incorporate an actual Atari Portfolio, complete with ribbon cable and magstripe card!
Wow. Never seen that before. That's cool. I have the lit pinballdreams one, and I thinks that's just as cool.
