Quoted from Langless28:

Are these better than the silk screened ones from planetary?

They are silk screened.
“Due to Silk Screening, These decals have the fluorescent orange red. Colors and Print are perfect.”
That’s what’s make the superior compared to printed decals that I have previously bought.
I think maybe planetary is reselling he’s product? (He got the official license to do them) You can ask them.

#7004 5 years ago
Quoted from Scoot:

Just my opinion but cool white flashers are a must for this title. You can use the tower type or the flat ones. Keep all of them the same color. The light show at the end of the game is fantastic. the only incandescent lights I have in it is at the Auto Fire. When I got the pin it had led flashers in it but was blinding while playing. Everything else is color matched in the inserts.

Great input. Thank you very much

Good call. Planetary also says they are silk screened.

I have a ColorDMD and like it. It's not amazing, but it's definitely an improvement.

Here a couple videos I made when it first came out.

#7012 5 years ago

With my performance gauged bonus I like to buy something simple as an attta boy (last year it was $200 of parallel clamps). Torn from buying a T2 plastic set or cab decals for 2018.

Btw has anyone watched that papa tutorial for t2. That guy crushes it

#7014 5 years ago

Hello to all

No, we dont do Chrome adition. Silkscreening is not like computer printing. To do Screen Printing
you need to do quantities to get a good price. For each color you need to make a screen.
Printing with computer you can print 1 set or as many as you want, no big set up, no color changing,
No setting and adjusting maschinery.
If we get 100 pre-orders for Chrome Adition, then we can surely ran a Chrom Adition.

Have a nice weekend

How much did you pay to get the apron chromed?

#7016 5 years ago
Quoted from topkat:

Not a huge bang for buck IMO. What is there looks great but there are so few animations it’s a really tough sell.

Just waiting on ColorDMD to finish up any other pin I have and I’ll be taking mine out and going back stock.

You have enough other pins that have been colorized so either swap 1 over or if it’s your first ColorDMD just move it to another pin if you don’t like it. I’d think Monopoly would look good in color.

#7017 5 years ago

Does anyone know where this piece goes? It was in the skull loose and appears to fit in the hole where the VUK kicks ball to cannon. Is this supposed to be glued in? Thanks for any help

It's supposed to be connected to the solenoid that kicks the ball from the skull. A spring and roll pin are needed too.

#7023 5 years ago

I have a free playfield, but it comes with the purchase of a $2,500.00 machine.

BTW, the machine is missing it's pf, so you may have to put the free one in it.

Actually, good luck. I hope you can find one.

#7029 5 years ago

I'll have one in about a month or so for around 150 but am in Australia. It's pretty good except for flipper drag.
I've got a new repro I'm fitting but it is with a playfield restorer at the moment getting all customized to suit chrome edition style.
Cabinet all done with custom decal changes , speakers and panel and just finished tweaking my pinsound setup.

Is this right?
I thought the metal should touch the wood everywhere? I must admit I am a little nervous about installing them.
Maybe one of you have a close up image of them installed in there T2?

[quoted image]

The T2 has the older system 11 style leg brackets. It’s just a flat threaded metal piece. The one you have were made mostly after 91. And yes, it should sit in there flush but still should work. Just make sure you align it the best you can.

I always adjust the new brackets in a big bench vice to suit each machinethey vary alot!

[quoted image]

I know and I still have the originals. But I have read that the newer styled brackets where better. So I bought them to take better care of my T2.

Quoted from KJS:

So you adjust the sides until all three sides touch the wood? I am unsure If I can bend them enough so the side with the bolt holes can touch wood.
Do you have a image of the new style installed?

#7034 5 years ago

The wooden piece in the center is too narrow for the metal bracket to fit flush. There is no way you can manipulate enough to get the newer piece to fit flush with the cabinet on all three sides. You can add a shim of wood in the center to fill the gap, maybe a paint can stirring stick cut and drilled to size might be close. The new design you have is the best version, since the threaded part is reinforced and therefore less likely to strip. If it was me and I wanted the new design, I would try to glue in a wooden piece to fill the gap, then redrill the holes, and paint to finish. But if your power supply is mounted like mine, you will need to move it over some for it to fit of course.

While that bracket may not fit flush due to the triangular brace in the cabinet not being large enough, from your photo it also looks like the bracket itself was not bent correctly. When you have one edge of the bracket flush up against the inside of the cab, the other edge should also be flush, but yours looks like it was bent at about 95°-100° instead of a 90° right angle. If so, even if you shim it, it's still not going to bolt in securely.

Thank you both for your help.
So it sounds like I have to bend it and also add a piece of wood between the bracket and the cabinet before it will fit as it should. "Funny" enough I asked the store before I ordered if they would fit and was told "yes".

Right now I feel like I will trash them and use the original ones. I am doing a complete restoration so just wanted the "best" now when everything was taken apart. But guess this might not be the best after all..

Don't trash them, they will be an improvement. You just have to slightly bend it back to 90 degrees and fill in the gap with wood.

Quoted from snakesnsparklers:

That's a pretty thick piece of metal, I doubt you'd be able to bend it even slightly unless you either use a metal press or are Superman. I'd contact wherever you bought it and have them send you a replacement, just take some photos to show them that it wasn't made correctly.

If you have a vise it could be bent easily, but I agree if you don't have a vise or means to bend it then return it.

This is there answer:
“If it is an old cabinet, the wood might have warped a bit.
Can you screw in the bolts for the legs? If yes, you can carefully screw it tighter till leg is fixed.”

I dont feel my cabinet I warped at all. Forcing them in like he says sounds dangerous to me?

Yeah, I wouldn't force it either. Metal vs Wood, metal wins every time, you don't want to split the corner of the cabinet. Should be easy enough to see if your part is bent at the wrong angle, check it on a piece of graph paper or even just the corner of a piece of paper. Your cabinet would have to have warped really REALLY badly to allow that much of a gap.

#7042 5 years ago
Quoted from snakesnsparklers:

Agree with above.

I personally would not do a cabinet restore without these brackets anymore. I have used them on about 20 machines now. They are a massive improvement on a poor design in my opinion. I even use them on old SS pins and have to cut them down a bit to work in the front of the cab.
The trouble is there are alot of variances in the cabinets from new. I've done 3 twilights now...7mm variance in cab width alone!

But if you are uncomfortable re-shaping them a bit use the standards and return them or I am positive someone would buy them off you if the shop wont return. I need another 8 at the moment but am in Australia.

You are a genius! They are not 90degrees at all I hope you can see it on the image.

Also this forum is pure awesome! Thank you for all the help..

Should I try and make them fit or should I demand my money back and buy somewhere else? (Because I hope they normally are fine?)

Why not just use the originals that the cabinet was designed for? I've never heard of one of the original brackets failing. Am I missing something? Sometimes, things don't have to be improved just because there is a "better" version. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I know the threads sometimes strip, but they also strip on the newer brackets. That's a user issue. Just my opinion.

The new ones are far superior and worth a shot, but I agree with your statement. With the hassle this will cause, sometimes original is just better.

Hi all,

I just ordered new rubbers for my T2, I used the list in the manual. Does anyone know if the manual is actually correct?

#7050 5 years ago

Check on the Titan website for T2 kits - they have a lot more info and more accurate than the manuals.
