Hi Guys, a video of a topper I made at the request of a client

Hi everyone, not much time to hang out on the forum these days, so many late orders, new projects that are struggling to be finalized, not to mention the restoration of PF and yet, I work every day without taking any rest .
I will still answer the questions and provide some clarifications.
we made a V2 because, as you know, we are living in a period of crisis which also affects electronic components, the equipment we used for the palantir V1 was increasingly hard to find.
we have therefore migrated to a more consistent and more efficient architecture.
Of course, we had to rewrite the whole program, the card used has a higher storage capacity and we thought why not improve the mod.
this is how two sequences were considered, in addition to the eye of sauron, a sequence with gollum for the hole of the gollum and a sequence with the finger of sauron and its ring with the inscriptions which ignite.
a change of trigger was therefore programmed using the switch matrix, unfortunately, this made a considerable number of bytes and it was impossible to have 3 different sequences, the finger and its ring were planned with the capture of the ball in the ring, but the resolution had to be lowered to save storage memory and the rendering was not satisfactory.
we decided to remove the one of the ring and the finger of sauron, that's it for the story.
in summary, what changes, a LORD OF THE RINGS logo appears at startup, the sequence of the eye on fire is more fluid and of better definition and the sequence of gollum appears when the ball falls into the hole of the gollum.
we added an attrack mod that lets the LOTR logo appear then the eye on fire every 150 seconds of inactivity.
as the triggers are made by the switch matrix, there is more interaction with the lighting..
all this had a cost that I passed on to V2.
for the ring of fire, I increased by 5€ because the components increased a lot and the price had never increased for a long time despite the incessant price increases of the supplies.
the barddur tower has also had its update with a new map and a new, prettier interaction.
i add here a link with the new vidéo sequence.

Currently, to many requests and it's hard to have items in stock.
I am working with pre order by contacting me at this adress => [email protected]

I am surprised at these prices, I have always seen lower prices in France compared to the United States, at the moment, for a very nice standard lord, the prices are from 9500 to 11500€ .
these crazy prices are not just for lord but many other game.
indiana jones williams fetches outrageous prices too.

to install Palantir , you must follow the link below,
the first tutorial is for the V1 but good to install the sphere for V2
to connect electronics parts, there an onther video in french but easy to understand the process with the additional picture for the board which replaces the Z connector

https://www.2niro-pinball.com/palantir-lord-of-the-rings/1883/

indeed this two-pin connector is used for the animation of the bulb which is under the original globe.
you have to remove this socket bulb which is no longer useful, the female connector just being used to connect the trigger of the palantir V1.
I made an additional video just for the electrical connection part in French but I added explanations in pictures which are very well detailed on my site section pinball mods / palantir.

in case of doubt, I respond quickly to questions asked by email to [email protected]
thanks for the feedback

if I understand correctly you replaced your opto card and it does not work, when I see the reference of your opto card, it ends with 01 whereas on lord it must end with 00, the card you have is generally assigned at Ripley's bilive it or not.
one of the opto connectors is reversed between anode and cathode, either unsolder and invert the wires of the corresponding opto LED, or remove and return the plastic key to the opto card so that the tab is the other way round, it is the two-pin connector J2 which is concerned.

yes absolutely, I had this problem when I had to replace a defective card, I also have customers who had this problem with my fire ring mod, I did not see any sales site offering the card origin of the standard lord or even the gold version.
these two cards are also different with the direction of the two connectors

in principle yes, but reverse the plastic of the connector otherwise you will break the tab and it will be badly connected.
I can't, there is no risk of damaging the card if you mishandle these peyit connectors

sellers are not experts in everything they sell.

Nice job, congrat

Barad Dur tower Mod

it's quite random, it can come out the ring or be caught and come out in the wire form

It is us who have equipped the apron with the light effects, here is a video with other mods, the work of alessandro is very well done.

Hi there,
I received several requests concerning the luminous apron.

In order to avoid requests that would not succeed and to answer all, the price of this apron is 650€, the price may seem high for some but there are several actions to be carried out to achieve the final product, the realization of the apron, then send to another craftsman for the powder coating and finally, the light integration.

This last step takes me a lot of time.

In order not to illuminate closed parts, which would be on the one hand wasteful and would require a huge number of LEDs, in addition it would have a repercussion of heat by Joule effect and a large consumption of current.

I have to follow the scriptures and so I make a lot of small portions of ledstrip that I stick on the diffusing plate then I connect the next one to the apron itself and so on.

It is craftsmanship and time consuming.

Of course if I had a huge order book, i would make a PCB and it would be faster and the cost price would be reduced.

I don't really believe in it but if that happened, i would launch a major production.

On the other hand, unlike all the pre-orders I had for my other mods and where I took no deposit, because I knew it would sell anyway, if I had to start producing apron, I would take a deposit, if you have any questions...

Hi Chris
follow this link , there a video

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/the-lord-of-the-rings-journey-begins-members-club/page/193#post-7664263

one of my clients equipped alessandro's sides with my light kit, magnificent result

I am studying the subject to see if this project is viable, however, it will not be before the end of this year

you can follow the link below, there PDF and video to install.
you can contact me in any doubt.

Hi there
So busy with lots of backlogged playfield restoration works, by dint of putting the creation of mods first, I find myself in this situation but I still try to release a few runs.
A badass version for the path of the deads is in progress.
I have to find the time to master the 3D scanners that I bought to make the soldiers and find the right compromise in color for the printing resin.
I have launched a small production of aprons which will be available this year, paint versions and gold versions, see the video below.
The Barad Dur are waiting at the printers shop, may be ready in one month.
For palantir, a little run will be ready very soon.

What I am going to propose is a little visible in the video of my previous message.
a slight engraving almost invisible when the plate is off which is revealed when the ball falls into the Orthank VUK before the ball arrives on the mini PF, this goes out with a timer managed by the mini ledstrip control program which has almost the same fire effect as the ring but based on green.
the soldiers will be connected to the 4 bulbs on the panel and the wires must be invisible

i made this
