Quoted from wombat:

Need some help please. I'm currently cleaning up my LOTR and removed Balrog. The part the arrow is pointing to is actually broken. I can't find a part number. It's the part that the screw screws into, holding the mounting bracket to Balrog.

I have the same issue which I haven’t fixed yet. Found relevant posts in this thread or perhaps elsewhere on Pinside that were helpful. Verify if threaded part is stripped and use a tap & die set to fix. It seems like the reason that part came loose is due to a misaligned thread (at least for me) - this caused the screw to get stuck and then the whole damn thing came out!. Once that is taken care of, it just needs to be glued back into Balrog as mentioned above.

OR - try what LOTR_breath just posted; that could be easier. Tks!

Quoted from wombat:

For anyone interested, this product worked very well for adding a threaded insert into Balrog.

Perfect - thank you; I am going to try that!

Quoted from briyau15:

Ok, after re-watching the New Control System video my understanding is that all 3 parts plug into each other, as shown in the pic below. Is that correct?
That would mean I would uninstall the original Palantir bulb and nothing gets re-attached to it so it is an open / unused cable going forward?
[quoted image]

I think you are right - I watched the 2:06 video and towards the end (1:50 mark) you can see the original Palantir cable just hanging there (presumably unused going forward). Good luck and let us know how it works out! I'm thinking of getting this mod - it looks great.

Quoted from rdleifriaf:

I'm really proud of myself! I just did my first mod with lights (the eye of Sauron light in the back box), and I didn't screw it up, LOL! That's motivated me to install the Army of the Dead mod.
I think everything that came with the kit I bought is included, but there were no directions, and the seller was of no help. Any support would be appreciated! Keep in mind, I'm very new to modding, so even the vocabulary of the part names is beyond me at this point.
Also, the plastic I got from the seller was incredibly cloudy as well, which is really disappointing. I'm going to make the most of it by affixing these skulls over the top of the plastic. I've never seen anyone do that before, but I think it'll turn out well? I'll drill holes in the skulls for the wiring for the Army of the Dead figures. I haven't put in the side art yet, but I'm looking forward to adding that too.

Like DrWaz & glpinball said, check for the protective film - on *both* sides.

Quoted from flipper73:

i want to install the balrog whip mod. for this reason i have to take the balrog away from the playfield. Is it correct that I have to open this „construction“?
[quoted image]

Yes - straighten out the pin and pull it out, unplug the connector under the playfield and then the whole thing should just pull up (IF I recall correctly…). You may need to clip the zip ties to make it easier but I think I was able to keep them on.
