Quoted from Shenanigander:

Hey all! I'm about to restore one nasty LOTR pro I just picked up.
Any recommendations...like must haves?
I read if going LED's I need the OCD board. Agreed?
I will do color dmd.
Any must have mods?
Anyone have any mods that they want to sell?
I don't think I will go the full brass treatment.
What about rubber? Clear titans?
Let me know what you think. I know the sky is the limit here but I'm not looking to go high end. Just very nice restored condition!
Thanks![quoted image]

Palintir mod is a must

Looking to join the club, does anyone know of a LOTR that will be coming up for sale? I'll be at Allentown next month.

All conditions considered.

Bump still on the hunt

Quoted from WizardsCastle:

My wife asked me today in the car if I was going to sell the game now that I beat it. I had to think about it. A lot of games have come through here and left after I beat them, but then again, I still have MM and AFM that have been beaten multiple times, and they're bolted to the floor.
I don't have a great desire to play LOTR again, because I know it's a time commitment, but I also don't want to let it go because I think it's one of the greatest games ever designed, and I was lucky enough to find one that was almost like new.
Time will tell, but I think that it will join the ranks of MM and AFM, becoming a permanent fixture despite the fact I may not play it a lot.

What a tease!

FINALLY joined the club over the weekend, now on the search for the Palantir Eye of Sauron and Path of the Dead mods, ColorDMD in the future.

Quoted from TheShadowsNose:

Make sure to check out all of 2niros mods. He does the “ring of fire”, “Palantir” and “bara dur”. Palantir and bara dur actually run video so a bit more enhanced than the regular “eye of Sauron” mod if I’m not mistaken.
Best mods for LOTR IMHO.
“Gandalf with lit staff” is also cool and not super expensive. You need a Gandalf on horseback for that one. But those can be had relatively reasonably on eBay. They come from the Armies of Middle Earth series of figures, I think.

Not to familiar with his Palantir mod. Does it scroll through different videos or can you choose the one you want? I'd only be interested in the eye video

So what’s the problem with the flippers? Mine seem almost too strong

Quoted from DarthPaul:

I just completed this mod and the plastic fit perfectly, all the holes for the posts and screws lined up as they should. I used the etched with figures version. The seller mentioned to me, a couple people complained about the holes not lining up and I may have to drill a new hole. If you are going to undertake this mod with lights, drilling some new holes if you need to, should not be that big of a problem. [quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

I wonder if I did something wrong in the install. When I put the playfield glass on I decapitated the soldier closest to the flippers.

Quoted from DarthPaul:

Maybe your posts are too tall?

If the posts are any shorter the ball hangs up under the acrylic

This may have been discussed elsewhere, but I couldn't find it during a quick review of the almost 10,000 posts in this thread.

I have had modes start without shooting the Ring, and I wondered if this is correct or if I have a switch issue.

Well shit, I just put in an order to Marco a week ago

Having issues with my LOTR, hope to get some assistance.

My game is randomly starting modes without shooting the Ring:
- it has happened when the ball ejects into the shooter lane, as well as with a flipper flip.
- I got a new Balrog cable to eliminate that issue, no change.
- I checked for interferences with the Ring opto, no problems
- there appears to be little in this thread about the issue, only reported twice previously with no resolution

Any help would be appreciated.
