Terminator 2: Judgment Day
Williams, 1991Quoted from snakesnsparklers:How good did it feel pulling off that film?
I've been following your build and it looks amazing. You should consider adding these more realistic eye LEDs: http://www.pinballlife.com/index.php?p=product&id=3256
Well, i almost had an erection while pulling it off...two years after i bought them.
Still have plenty things to improve and add. Due to the nature of my job, my time is -very- limited so it will take a while to finish the project.
Quoted from loscanones:Mirroplates Black- Titan-Carbo-Nitrid coated, from Pinball-Dreams.
Finally, i removed the white protective film. Not bad for the price...200Euros.
Anyone know how these compare to the black mirror blades available here in the States?
Got a decent condition T2 a couple of weeks ago. I just started getting into pinball and have been using it to learn maintenance/repair on. New flippers, rubbers, flipper assemblies, hunterkiller ship, cleaned, waxed, and full LED swap later:

Wow, that is crazy. What a mess to clean up. Shop vac?
Quoted from Gorno:Wow, that is crazy. What a mess to clean up. Shop vac?
Use the Shop Vac attachment with the little brush on the end and try not to touch the playfield. Once the majority of the glass is gone, gently use the brush to get the remaining glass without brushing. The trick is to vac everything "up" without touching any glass.
Quoted from smiley:I used the 3 LED bulbs. They look great and are .69 ea opposed to $14.95 pair.
Now you just need to hot glue a couple of finish stainless washers to the LEDs and you are good.
I got mine at a local hardware store for 10 cents each. Home Depot has them for 5.98 for 25.

Did you do this? Seems like a great idea but there does not seem to be enough room behind the skull and it would not look good in front. Maybe I have the wrong washers, but they are the right size for the leds to fit through. Can you post a pic?

You are misunderstanding, they go in front of the led and they look great. I also use a piece of translucent red vinyl between the washer and the led. What he says works.
How do you keep the eyes in without them popping out? Mine pop out after 1 game. So I just put in regular bulbs
Quoted from Blitzburgh99:How do you keep the eyes in without them popping out? Mine pop out after 1 game. So I just put in regular bulbs
a little dab of hot glue on the bulb, then put it in the socket.
Quoted from smiley:I had to drill them out to 17/64 to fit. I like it! Thanks great idea.

Paint the teeth white on that bad boy. You'd be surprised how good it makes it look! 
Quoted from QuarterGrabber:a little dab of hot glue on the bulb, then put it in the socket.
Will it be hard to remove later?

Do you have a pic of yours, by chance?
Quoted from Patofnaud:+1.. here is the Service Bulletin.
Service Bulletin: SB 33
DATE: September 19, 1991
GAME: Terminator 2
SUBJECT: POSSIBLE BALL HANG-UP BEHIND SKULL
SYMPTOM: IF 1 BALL IS IN THE SAUCER UNDER THE SKULL AND ANOTHER BALL HITS
IT WITH SOME DEGREE OF VELOCITY THE SECOND BALL MAY DEFLECT INTO THE
SKULL
SOLUTION: USING A SHARP EXACTO KNIFE, CUT A 2-1/4' SQUARE CUBE FROM A
CORNER OF THE SHIPPING FOAM (NOT STYROFOAM) PACKED WITH THE GAME,
SUPPORTING THE BACKBOX FOLDED DOWN ON THE CABINET.
IF THAT FOAM CANNOT BE FOUND, MOST ANY FOAM RUBBER CUT TO SPECIFICATIONS
WILL DO, OR A FOAM RUBBER CUBE (PART # 23-6671) CAN BE ORDERED FROM THE WMS
GAMES PARTS DEPARTMENT.
(Insert picture of back of skull)
Pull skull forward gently, compress foam rubber cube (2-1/4' sq.) and insert in skull below "eyes"
bracket. Release foam and tilt skull back to original position "looking at player'.
Make sure that the ball gate wireform swings freely after foam is inserted to prevent other problems.
I just had a ball do this in my game the other day. It was fun going for super jackpot after super jackpot .... That is until my ball drained and the game was "froze". Need to find some foam.
If you could have anything (except backglass) signed by Arnold or another actor from this movie... what would it be?... On the pf?
Quoted from scampcamp:If you could have anything (except backglass) signed by Arnold or another actor from this movie... what would it be?... On the pf?
Personally, I wouldn't want anyone writing on my game. Regardless who they are. But, I'm probably in the minority.
Quoted from QuarterGrabber:Paint the teeth white on that bad boy. You'd be surprised how good it makes it look!
It looks good.... It looks like you painted each tooth individually & did a off white to make it more realistic.

That's not mine, thanks for the pics though LITZ. These are pics of my Terminator head (glass on playfield).
What are the eyes in the skull supposed to do? Are they on steady the whole time, do they fade in and out? Blink at certain times of the game? I think I may have a loose wire, but maybe not.

I could be wrong but I think in attact mode they are always off. Then when you start a game the eyes are always lit except when the cannon is loaded, then they turn off until you fire, then they turn back on until cannon is loaded again. I think.
Looking for a plastic if anyone can help me out...out of stock at the usual places...they had 20 of them (along with some others for T2) on E-pay for months from an Aussie...but of course yesterday I go to buy and they are all unlisted...Thank you for any help....prefer original but repro is fine............Joey
It's the upper most plastic,supposed to have the mini red star post...

I need that same plastic...always hangs up on the edge when I lift the playfield...finally broke one day.
^^^...same here.....it broke clean enough you can't tell "unless you know"....but it's driving me crazy....there was 20 of them on Flea-bay 2 days ago..!!!.....damn-it..!!!.............Joey
Quoted from pinball_customs:I like Litz's T-1000 mod more than QuarterGrabber's.
LOL, it was already on there when I bought the game. The previous owner must have made it himself?

Thanks LITZ..... I need a ship.
Also.... If there are inserts that are raised... can someone tap them back down? Or is it more of a complicated fix?
use a hair dryer from underneath and a flat piece of hard wood on top with a mallet to tap them flat. I have also heard of using a long C-clamp from the side to compress a piece of wood down to flatten it.
Quoted from Chitownpinball:use a hair dryer from underneath and a flat piece of hard wood on top with a mallet to tap them flat. I have also heard of using a long C-clamp from the side to compress a piece of wood down to flatten it.
i lightly apply super glue around the edges under the pf once you have 'leveled' them as chitown suggested to hold them so they don't re-elevate.
Did anybody here just grab these....someone bought it while I was looking at it....!!!...if it was please let me know if you want to sell the plastic I need....Thank You..............Joey
