Super - will do!! Thanks again!!

No worries. They are basically stickers that line the walls of your pinball and look incredible.
I’ve done enough now where I do it myself by hand. They are nice to work with, meaning you can stick and un-stick a few times if needed. For TBL, you’ve got the back box hinge bolt towards the back on each side, so start with that spot (hole) and work forward. Just how I prefer to install them.
Good Luck and Enjoy!

Worth the $$$. Makes it pop. I installed myself

Just wanted to give credit where it’s due, BigLebowski’s topper is bad ass. Love how you can customize it to how you want. I’m going to add either a Kaluha and Stoli bottle on the left, or the c4 1:18 vette, or the anniversary bowling bag. Not sure yet. Definitely worth the wait.

Where is this topper from?

Wow you have tall ceilings! Topper looks great.

Loft setting. Slopes from 14-12’

TBL sitting next to RNM.

I like your style dude!

Thanks! Under black light no less.

Hello All,

Like in the second video, is it possible to launch The Dude abides at the start ?

Thanks Dude

Currently In factory mode only but programmer is working on this to make it a separate, likely one ball, side game. So, than it can be started from the start.

Supply fan very noisy

Someone has already changed this fan in this supply ?

(Exactely the same model like Stern supply?)

Thx for your support

It should be an RSP-500-48 if it's like the other Lebowskis I've seen. The Stern quiet fan kit will work in that, too. Ministry of Pinball had them, but they are out right now (you could check to see when they will get more):

I also have them in the pinmonk store here on pinside and on pinmonk.com in the Big Lebowski section:

Oh man, had six strikes to start my bowling scorecard (no free strikes from a mystery award). Man I wish I could have finished ten frames.
What’s everyone’s high bowling score on code 1.0?

from me

Still have material for a few more. If anyone is interested send me a PM.

Yup. Well worth the wait.

It really, uh, ties the room together, man.

PM sent

Half of that, I think

Nice job. Love the smiling balls! (or is it just a lucky lamp reflection?)

Exactely the same issus in my side

A lot of airball from this post

Someone found a solution about it ?

I also have a lot of airball from the left ramp, do you have the same thing ?

Regards

How do you nudge without all that stuff falling?

Happy (but expected) effect. I saw something similar with my TZ topper with a big glass dome. The pleasant surprise was how well it worked with the finger holes (even the civilians in the house saw that right away)

Everything is screwed/taped/glued down (depending on weight) to a piece of black shelving, and the shelving screwed to the backbox top to secure.

Had to drill a large hole in the bottom of the Kahlua bottle (that was scary, but youtube is your friend) and use a toggle bolt to secure it from below. Worked like a charm. Only other notable trick was using 4" deck screws to secure the bowling pins from below. Rest of the stuff is pretty light and easy to secure.

I have changed some value in the coils setting

Flipper left = 26ms
flipper right = 25ms
Upper flipper = 16ms

The result is better, less agressive

Just received back from the DTPr the new release of the TBL rel 1.00 Operational manual I made

This Lo-res version and also Hi-res version will soon be downloadable from DP website but here you have the lo-res version already for those who cant wait.

Happy reading

Operations_Manual_TBL_release 1.00_V2.pdf

I think I found a minor bug last night - I grand champed the machine and it told me I got high score #1.

Really a premium effort, but are you going to add assembly breakdowns with part numbers, etc? It's really all you're missing from the quick perusal I did.

What you have now is already MILES ahead of anything Spooky has ever done to support their machines, which is crazy considering how many they've released.

Totally agree. Well polished. Start adding in drawings and assembly breakdowns and you begin approaching Butch Peele level attention to detail, which in my opinion is the gold standard.

Slow support this weekend, sorry. Busy at DPO EXPO.

TBL Made it to national tv !!

Topper item!

Obviously, you’re not a golfer.

Hey fellow duderino's...hope you're weekend if going well - and a happy veteran's day to those of your that have served...

I had a flipper issue, I thought i fixed, but it came back.

The flipper on the the MPF - (upper playfield) - stopped working. It seems this little nugget fell out. I had attempted to 'adjust it' a bit with a tool to widen it, and force it back into the gear/joint with some pliers. It played a few more games well/fine.

But today, it fell out again.

Can anyone tell me what this thing is, how best to repair / replace? I'm thinking of attempting another adjustment and click it into place again, but have a feeling it will fall out again.

Any information appreciated.

Thank you,

It's just a springloaded piece (roll pin) that holds the linkage onto the coil plunger. It shouldn't come out. Since it's springloaded I don't think manually making it wider then jamming it into place will last long (as you discovered).

You can probably limp along by jamming it back in and wrapping it with electrical tape temporarily (LTG recommended it, seems to work temporarily), but if you haven't got another piece like that I'd just get a new plunger and link and swap it out. $3.95 at Pinball Life, or hit up a buddy that might have one in their pinball junk/spare parts pin.

Hi thanks - so just that part that you linked? It looks like I would need to disassemble the plunger significantly to add this part. I'm ready to do that, but want to make sure i'm considering all needed parts.

Thanks!

It's good practice as you'll need to rebuild flippers over time anyway.

That's everything you need that I linked. One assembly of a plunger and link with the roll pin already installed.

It's a dead simple job. Take off the coil stop, slide the coil back to remove the plunger. Unscrew the other end of the link (a nut and a screw). Attach new plunger and link assembly with nut and screw from before. Slide plunger back into coil. Move coil up and re-attach coil stop. Grab a necklace chain and put the old plunger link on it, then wear that plunger link on a chain around your neck as a trophy to prove you now have pinball repair skills.

15 minute job if you don't know what you're doing. 5-10 minute job once you've done it once.

Something new in v1.0: that caught my attention:

A Bunny clip that popped up unexpectedly: "I'll suck your cock for a thousand dollars."

Oh my!

LOVIN' v1.0!

yeah absolutely...ok thanks PinMonk for the pinball 101 tip. i've got two other machines , never run into this, although they have decided to all act up this weekend with different issues.

I'll get a few of these for future use, and maybe a necklace..hah.

cheers!

Is the dude on the toilet figure available to buy somewhere? Or was that some private collector's custom job?

It was a custom job for the Dutch Pinball Museum involving modeling, 3D printing and paint job, all done by one guy. Amazing, and the scale makes it even more impressive.

If you want to make it, Go to this link :

https://cults3d.com/fr/modèle-3d/art/the-dude-toilet-the-big-lebowski

Cool! Then it wasn't custom modeling for the museum, my bad!

Downloaded last night. Will see how it prints.
They also have a couple of other models too.

I think I have a 187-ish. I don't often go for the 10 frames but I had a good game once.

I'm wondering why the code doesn't allow all unfinished games to end with all gutters. What if I had a game with 9 strikes and then I drained? In real bowling, if I started with 9 frames and couldn't finish for any reason, that game would end with a score of 240.

Why is my high score of 187 better than an unfinished game of 240? Shouldn't be that way imo. It'd be cool if a future update could fix that. Perhaps a small ask, but I think it's important to reflect the rules of the USBC.

Mark it zero!

This is not Nam, Smokey. There are rules.

I m in a hurry to see that. Congratulations for your mods, i will pm you soon.

That's a good suggestion, I will make it so.
