Quoted from Freakyguy666:

Anyone have Lior’s Toilet Mod? In some photos the water in the bowl appears orange/yellow, while in others it appears white.
Are there 2 versions?

Quoted from Dashmonster:

I have it and love it. At first I was unclear on how to install it and placed it over the existing plastic with orange LED cap making it orange…. The bolts weren’t long enough and the plastic stuck out on the side clearly labeling me a dumb ass. After installing the right way without the plastic the led glows bright white from inside its mounting bracket in the bowl. First mod I have gotten from Lior without instructions but in the end really doesn’t need them.

Quoted from Freakyguy666:

Would it be possible to remove the existing plastic but maintain the orange LED dome/cap? Or is the Dome too big?

Quoted from Capn12:

Won't all fit together, you'll have to remove it.

Quoted from Freakyguy666:

Would it be possible to remove the existing plastic but maintain the orange LED dome/cap? Or is the Dome too big?

Quoted from Dashmonster:

I think you could dremel the orange dome and make it fit. It’s inside the bowl so you don’t see it. It is much brighter than the other lights around it and definitely noticeable. Could also maybe use a piece of colored plastic Mylar inside the bowl.

Quoted from Nixpaints:

Hey all, super excited to have joined the club yesterday!
Have an issue where the balls are getting stuck at the bottom of the subway right before the scoop kick out. The subway is lower than the scoop, preventing any balls from entering the lockout. Has anyone else had this issue?
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from Mato:

I think I might have the same issue, the ball doesn’t register to kick it out and has to do a ball search before kicking out, it happens intermittently and also have a problem with the ball coming straight out the scoop and straight down the middle again intermittently

Quoted from Freakyguy666:

I believe so…the clip is way too narrow to clip onto the ramp molding…you would have to literally squeeze the plastic ramp by ~1/2inch to make it fit and that force could damage the ramp.

Quoted from Rensh:

It’s intended to squeeze the ramp against the scoop to ‘guide’ the ball better to the scoop and get less rejects. Don’t think you have 1/2 inch of space between the scoop and ramp?
Mine is on there like over 2 yrs and ramp is still fine. No worries here.

Quoted from jyeakley:

Well dudes - I feel like it has been long enough…seems like cpr9999 is MIA (hope he is OK).
That said, I am going to give the Doobie Mod 2.0 a shot. I should have something to show in a few weeks. My good friend also has a wood shop, so we are looking to have a physical wood ashtray that is laser etched and maybe a little more realistic fire on the end of the doobie!
More to come. Happy New Year!

Quoted from Drebay:

Would most certainly be interested in this, put me on your list!

Quoted from JimB:

Same add me to the list

Quoted from KING-HENRY:

Great news thanks man!! EDIT * I’d want to be on your list* Now if someone can ‘carry the torch’ on the Hollywood Star Lanes neon sign (stumblor-style or similar ) that would make a lot of folks happy. I know I’m really jonesing for one.

Quoted from stumblor:

Okay so I've definitely been considering this, and have been shooting ideas over to Vimtoman since he is also loving Lebowski and has a few things in mind - luckily in different areas to those I'm interested in
Few things I'm concerned about with doing something.
The first ones are a bit boring - was the run of Lebowski big enough (and the appetite for modding it strong enough) to warrant working on something?
The second one is the design itself, which I'm a bit torn on. The current building on the upper playfield is based on the wall that the dude and walter walk past when they exit after the "mark it zero" scene.
[quoted image]
Those stars are nice, but obviously it would be a lot more fun (and look more awesome) to do the actual hollywood lanes sign & bowling pin, and do some nifty animation around that.
[quoted image]
Probably not as movie accurate though. What are peoples opinions on that?
Thanks matlynch91 for the thread heads up.

Quoted from TheBananaPeel69:

i think all of us would be thrilled if the cpr9999 sign was available right now.
so i think doing a hollywood lanes sign up there would be fantastic.
lebowski’s main problems are the ball trap areas, not necessarily the playfield design. i feel it’s one of the best looking ones with lots of details. (compare this to godzilla where you’re doing a fantastic job making the plastic facade seriously better)
so a subtle mod here or there are really all that’s needed.

Quoted from stumblor:

I agree, and that's another area of concern really - I think Dutch did such a fantastic job on the styling of this pin, that retro bowling style, that whatever is added can't detract from that.

With regards to the sign, I'd be looking to replace that whole top section I think, so integrate the sign into the building, rather than having it sit on top.

Quoted from eharan:

If anyone is looking for the EP topper, please let me know. I ordered one for my EA machine without realizing how much clearance I would need. I can put Stern and CGC toppers on my game without any issues so assumed that the EP topper would fit. I then saw that it is 13.5” tall which will not fit with my basement ceilings. Unfortunately they do not allow cancelations so am looking to sell my deposit for what I paid. If interested, please PM me.

What about a run of target stickers?

Quoted from gambit3113:

Yes, do the entire Hollywood Lanes sign and the bowling pin and integrate it all into an entirely new building for that spot. Do it. Do it now. There is no one else that should be doing this mod, in fact. Hot damn.

Quoted from KING-HENRY:

Yes, do it, but GET CONSENSENCE OF WHAT PEOPLE THINK about it before making it!!! That's the only beef I have with major modders; just creating their own vision and producing without letting us know how WE think about it.

Quoted from stumblor:

No probs, I'm open to that
I actually mocked something up the other day after the initial posts. Instead of replacing the entire building (which is really nice quality folded sheet metal, not to mention a pain to remove) I thought of instead just replacing the roof itself, and having all the sign pieces attached to that. Each 'sign' will be made up of 3 parts, from back to front, the LED PCB, then an acrylic piece, then the resin 'neon' piece. The acrylic piece is there to provide a base colour (in the case of the 'star') but also a baffle to block light bleed to certain areas, in the case of the inside of the lettering, which you want to appear dark.
[quoted image]
[quoted image]
[quoted image]
[quoted image]
[quoted image]
All RGB, animated etc, triggered probably from those two car targets. The reason for the acrylic baffling is that I was trying to get an effect similar to the Pulp Fiction Topper neon lettering, which is really really well done.
[quoted image]
Hopefully that gives you a bit of an idea where my head is at. Fire away!

Quoted from paulbaptiste:

.
I think this is an excellent approach for all involved. The roof is only a few screws to remove and easy access. I like what I see so far! Of course I wanted the spinning bowl sign that was intended on the original mod (if we are dreaming of features).
