T2 has always been my favorite pin. I have been looking for one for a very long time for the right price.
I picked it up this Saturday and have been trying to fix some of the issues, but need a little help from you guys.

When the ball is loaded in the canon. The ball will roll out of the canon when the canon is close to the bottom?

I am also sad about someone putting screw holes in the playfield close to the skull. Why would you do that? Making it harder to have a long game? I will restore the playfield and fix it when the machine is up and running.

Top down :-/

Do you have a image of the canon where you bended the switch?

In the video you can see how the ball starts to roll out

I feel a little stupid. But you might be right.
I did level it by using the round thing mounted ind the left corner (I have never had a Pinball with that before).

But when I measure like I normal do it is not level at all. How do I get it perfect level in the correct way?

Hi,
I have LED's under the playfield and thinks that it is time to change the GI to LED. Many of the pictures in here looks great! I like the "cold/metallic" look som members have with the GI lightning.

But are people using blue or cold white or a combination of both? Would love to see a image of your playfield with LED GI lightning and what type of LED's you have used?

Looks good, are you using White or Blue GI or a mix?

I hope more will join with image end LED's used.

Could more share there playfield ligtning and write what colors they have used?

Wow I am shocked. Was thinking about getting one for another game. Are you pinballs new? I thought it was a very hard material that was used..

Just curious. Do you know if it is easy to polish smooth again?

Are all your GI blue?

I Would like the apron
(Denmark)

Best upgrade I have ever bought. Such a little thing with such a big impact of the overall look.

Hi,
Does anyone know a guide to take the canon apart? Or have pictures of doing it?
Mine is not running very smooth so would like to clean it.

Question about touchup.
Has any matched the orange around the inserts with Createx colors? I would love some advice on what colors I should mix to get close.

Has any bought a good set of insert decals? (top quality)
I can see Classicarcade has some for sale on eBay but have read a lot of bad stuff about them.

Can you share an image? Never seen purple on t2

Hi,
Need some T2 help.
What is the part number for the "yellowed post" on the image?

Billede_27-06-15_09.51.22.jpg

Thank you.
Should it be bigger than the black post? Also is original color white?

Thank you very much for the help

I have one more question (might come more as I take T2 apart for restoration).
Should the "tip" of the kickback look like this:

Billede_28-06-15_11.44.58.jpg

Thank you all for the help
Do anyone know why they drilled holes in the bottom of the playfield?

The decal under the right ramp, do anyone know where I can buy it?
I am not able to find any information about it.

Do you have link and price?

Mine where at the right. As you can see previously in this thread.

Lol. That looks 100% like mine. I will decal mine. What will you do?

I removed mine yesterday on a none nos without any problems at all.
Do you know where to find more nos playfields?

image.jpg

I tried that for the first time. Could not believe how great it worked!

Stock bros?

I guess me slang/English failed

Looking great! Are you doing the touch up? Have you changed all insert decals? They look so "clear".

Hi T2 friends.
Have some of you installed better speakers in your T2?
I did it in my Transformers and I think it was worth it. But I have never installed it in an "older" machine and am in doubt if it is worth it?

Looks amazing!
Is that a canon without a laser? If where did you get it?

Hi,
Do any of you have the "timer" insert decal in spare? Would like to buy it

Has any of you added new decals and clear coated after? I have to add a new timer decal on mine. When removing the old I can see that it looks a lot clearer without the old hazy clear. So thinking about removing all decals and stick new on. But would like to hear people's experience and if it is worth it?

Thank you for the heads up! Now I really need your help. Any here who know who has "good ones" for T2?

Hi T2 friends!
I need a little help with two "hacks" on my T2.
Would like to have them removed and done correctly.
Can I just buy the correct connector for both and I will be fine?

Billede_13-09-15_20.23.33.jpg

Billede_13-09-15_20.23.24.jpg

Thank you!
So it is the right "sockets" that are used? I "just" need new connectors? Would love a link to the correct connector, looks like there are many sizes.

Are they controlled by the game GI?

I am restoring my T2 with clearcoat and touchup etc.

Just got an idea for a "mod" and would love to hear your guys opinions.
My shooterlane is in such a bad shape that I have to paint it "wood color" but then got an idea.

I have bought this shooterlane cover mod:
http://www.pinball.center/en/shop/pinball-parts-by-game/terminator-2/3976/stainless-steel-shooter-lane-cover-for-terminator-2

So I got the idea to paint the shooterlane black and place a blue led strip where it runs. I was thinking that by doing it black it would highlight the stell ball when shooting. What do you guys think? I have seen blue LED stripes on the shooterlane before but not in the combination of the cover and black color.

Where can you get the correct ones?

Hi,
Do anyone know if the teeth of the skull in the middle was totally white from the factory? Maybe one of you have an image from a NOS playfield?

Is it just me or does the original skull look a lot more like the T800 from the movie?

Can anyone tell me where I can buy this canon cover? I can't find it anywhere...

Anyone know what material the Gun is? I would like to have new chrome on mine but the guy I talk to who should do it is afraid that it might be Zinc and if that is the case it will be a problem

Billede_03-11-2015_20.02.51.jpg

Thank you very much.
But it is sad news

But I am from EU

Has anyone tried if some of the chrome paints available for airbrush etc. is a good alternative? (fx. alclad)

I like the text in red, but I can see that it is a little silly that there is 2 x Terminator in red just above each other.
I can't decide if it is best with more detail or something else that Terminator in text?

What kind of flipper coils are you guys using? The manual says x30 but mine has the more powerfull x29 (Was there when I bought the machine).

What is the must correct color? I ordered a new repro and wonder if mine has been dis colored by the sun/smoke etc. or if the repro is wrong?

image_1.jpeg

Its a little hard to see.
Is yours grey or brown?

Thanks! Then the repro is good My old one was very brownish.

Blue or Red flipper buttons with light?
Please share your vote and image

How much have you spend on your T2? I just did the math on mine... And I must say I am a little shocked! Small stuff just adds up. Also rechroming the gun was not cheap. $3400(including machine) and I am not done yet.

Anyone here who has a scan of a nos playfield or closeup images?
I need to see a none faded color for my restoration

How should it look? I am about to repaint some on mine and have matched the current color. But can easily make it different if it is more correct?

I know and I have started. Will have to repaint like 80%.

If any of you have something for water slide decals on the playfield, please let me know It would be a great help on my restoration.

The black on the apron. Is that glossy black or satin black? I am restoring mine so your help would be great!

Thank you! If yours has damages and you want to restore it, please contact me

The current T2 you have now is from NIB? :-O
Wish it was me!

That is awesome! Do you remember what the problem was?
Just curious where there a special reason why you got it back in 94 and could keep it for so long? (I have noticed must people change there collection often)

Thank you for sharing

This is "funny" I was sure that the trigger was the other way. I was thinking why should it else be "shaped" and I also looked in the manual

But guess I was wrong

I am thinking about getting PinSound for my T2.
The video of it sounds awesome but I really miss the real Arnold voices.
- What is the reason for not using the original voices?
- Is it possible to make a version with the music from the video but with original voices?

Thank you for the answer. I wonder what pinball arcade did? Or are the samples on their t2 just as "bad" as the original t2?

Thank you.
So no noticeable audio improvements? (Noise reduction etc. )

Great idea with GNR

Hi,
I need some color help
The grey street (outer lane) is that the same grey color as in the middle? When I look I think the street is a little lighter but I am very much in doubt.

Color-blind bump?

Yes! Correct, are the two grey exactly the same?

Like 100%?
Would like to know if I could use the same color when repainting the colors. But as said I am in doubt if the route is a little brighter or not.
Thank you for helping me

Have always wondered.
Should the orange/red on the cabinet be red or fluorescent orange?
I have only seen faded cabinets..

Oh my
I have new decals and they are not fluorescent...
Anyone know where you can buy cabinet decals that looks like the original?

Is it possible to get a nos playfield or in very good condition? Have there been talk about a reproduction?

OMG!!!!
I have been waiting for a repro but never thought it would happen.
How is he's quality?

Very nice!
Did you use Penske or airbrush?

Open a shop and start selling them?

I like your Retro intro
Would you share price? Is it possible to see them installed?

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/terminator-2-judgment-day-repro-cabinet-decal-set

He is doing licensed silk screened decals with flourenced colors.

Can you do the fluorescence color?

Damn. The original plastics had it right?

Hi Club,
How many of you would be interested in a playfield replacement?
I am trying to get Buthamburg to do a rerun because I missed the first run:
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/terminator-2-judgment-day-repro-playfields-pre-order-open#post-3769931

But he needs a lot of preorders to do another run

Anyone know where they have the right ramp in stock? (mine is cracked)

Thank you!

You have seen that the one Lock insert and the other are swapped?

Peter that did the repro playfields will also make decals. In right colors and as close to the original as possible.
He's playfields are awesome quality!!

Mine had foam there. I think it might be a fix Williams suggested?

Where and do they have the original color?

Hi all!
I got some great news, Peter who did the T2 playfields are thinking about doing a second run! So if you want new shiny great looking playfield. Please let him know and sign up for one
He is currently talking about July so you have plenty of time to save up.

You can see the last run here:
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/terminator-2-judgment-day-repro-playfields-pre-order-open

Just got an answer from Peter about this:
"We weren’t sure, for some original have it, some don’t.
But I have heard that people are drilling it, so in future we will have it drilled."

Have you tested recently with a nail? He is putting a lot of clear on, so I think it takes some time before it is totally cured.

I would nearly always have a new playfield compared to a restored one. It is new healthy wood, so the shooter lane is "perfect" and does not need paint etc. Also there will be no bondo etc. on the playfield or paint over paint. Restoration is awesome and I don't doubt that it can be awesome! But if I could choose I would always buy a new one, I guess thats also why you are selling you HSA and keeping the new one? (Sorry if I misundertodd you, but understood it like HSA > New playfield)

Beginning of December he said today. They will be silk screened with fluorescent color.

Sounds like you had a healthy playfield. So if it is just small corrections and clear coat I think it can look great.
I understand that having it 100% original and looking great is nice. But the way I see it is where is the line? When you are removing the silk screened art and adding decals to the cabinet? Why not just restore that also? And some are changing boards to new rotten ones?
But somehow people have a special opinion on the playfield with the milky inserts (old clear) this should be kept original!!!
I hope you get my point (just what I think). Changing out the playfield is just like removing the original cabinet art. Or changing out another major part. Either have a perfect 100% original or don’t. I don’t understand why people look different on playfield repros? New ones are perfect and have clear inserts

So there might not be any plastic set?

Peter has some great news!
They look great and plastics are next.

Just opened my cabinet decals from Peter from B&T Automaten Vertr.
The orange is just spot on! Like the playfield. The quality of the material is also much better than other cabinet decals I have bought. They seem more strong/protected?

If you are looking for are restoration of you T2, reserve/buy your playfield and/or cabinet decals and/or plastic-set from him (they are licensed). The quality is top notch

So I recommend a company for doing great products that licensed and I get PM "threats" ? Kind of hostile...

Screen Shot 2017-12-06 at 10.10.27 (resized).png

Dude, I dont understand why you take it so personal and have to attack me with "disguised kind of people like you" PM's etc.
Lets get the FAQ straight.
- I asked you about a plastic set, because I wanted one!
- I did not order from you because Peter contacted me and said he would do a set.
- I have NOT talked bad about YOU or your PRODUCT.
- I give recommendation to Peter's products because I really think he is doing a good job. I know because I have a new playfield and now decals from him. If it was something from another company and for another machine, I would do the same. I am not "taking any sides"

So take a chill-pill and stop attacking me (and maybe others?)
After 3 years and many posts/threads - This is the first time I "meet" someone like you. Hope you take a deep breath and I never hear from you again.

Shit! I can feel your pain
My playfield is not mounted yet but is same batch as yours. I am getting really nervous now.
I know he has done playfields for other games as well. Has this ever happened before on he’s playfields? What does Peter say to this?

Have they signed up for the next run of playfields? Just contact Peter and he can help with a new playfield.

I am not a fan of the stickers. I think it is to visible. I have started to make water slide decals for mine. Then clear over it all.
