Hi Pinsiders! People here seem to like these clubs and there was none for TS so...
Feel free to ask questions about the game, or maybe post some pics
I've got mine partially torn down right now. Looking to get this thing really looking awesome. I'd love to hear some tips see some pictures and just discuss this game.

I have mine torn down as well. I just sent my wireforms and gun to Mike Chestnut today for re-plating.
Quoted from Pinmeister:How about a Shadow done in brass? All ramps, diverters, and wireforms plated by Mike Chestnut.
DAAAAYYYYUUUMMMM!!!!!
That looks amazing!!
The gun is plated in black nickel with a chrome trigger but I don't have a picture. It is one of the nicest Shadows you will ever see and is completely dialed in and wicked fast.

Woooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Quoted from Pinmeister:Does this mean I get to be President of The Shadow Club?
I call VP.
Mike did my wireforms (brass) and gun handle (black nickel) too. Living 30 minutes away from him was really nice at the time.
Do not led The Shadow. Put superbright leds in the mode indicators only so you can see them better. At least with all the brass, the cool led light looks odd.

Mine is also torn down, husband is doing a major shop on it!
I'm just waiting for the CPR plastics to come out so I can tear my down and get to work. Absolutely love this game!!
Quoted from Pinmeister:Here's the other side.
Fantastic. How does the brass hold up? I've got a bunch of mine out for powdercoat right now. Will post pics when it's done
I recently have thought about selling my Shadow, so I moved it out to my main pin room and played it... and the wife played it again, and boom- my desire to sell it is gone! We had so much fun playing it that I can't imagine getting rid of it!

Would you mind pm me what he charges for that?
Played this game for the first time a month ago. Was really fun, once I got the hang of it. That upper playfield thingy was pretty cool! But, of course, The Shadow Knows this....

The brass is holding up fine. It's been about 2 years now.

Where does he live at?

I agree with you partly. I think Shadow looks best with incandescents for the GI, but I much prefer LEDs for all the inserts, not just the modes. I used Ghost Busters in mine ...
Quoted from Kcpinballfan:Where does he live at?
Near Nashville. If your ramps are tarnished, I highly recommend sending them down there for plating.
love the game but mine is broke. Was having a guy come over to look at it tomorrow but now my new ac dc premium is coming tomorrow so I doubt any work will be done on it.
If it is a club, I say there should be a secret knock or saying to be in like...
and maybe give out special rings too.
Any tips or tricks people know to keep their sanctum operating perfectly? Every once in a while mine will create a credit dot, but when the coin door is opened it clears. Seems to correspond with the locking of balls.
I auto clear coated mine about two months ago. It is SOOOO fast now! I've gotten to final battle a few times, but have yet to beat it. I don't think I'll ever sell this game. Especially after the amount of work I put into fixing it up.
Plenty of love for The Shadow here too. Similar to TheRave mine is clearcoated but screaming for plastics (thanks CPR in advance) and I am missing one ring...... eventually I will find one.

Here's one:
This is easily a top 5 machine in my opinion! Super fast and every mode is awesome! Been to final battle a few times and have yet to finish it. Always a shot away. I will never sell this pin. I was going to send my wires into Mike but after seeing those ramps and diverters all brassed out! That looks great.
Quoted from marsgnu:That post behind the right mongol should that be there? Mine doesn't have it.
Yes. It is also shown in the pics on the Internet Pinball Database.

Thanks I might pick one up : )
