Quoted from ruzeo:

Who is buying these shadows with credit dots and worn sanctums for $6500 and why?

Quoted from Pinkitten:

Times have really changed, haven’t they? I bought my Shadow in 2019 for $4500 with color DMD, Aurich package and no sanctum wear, and I felt like it was a reach! I sold it to a friend for $4k a few months later, to finance a pricy Indy Jones Adventure. When I listed it for $4,150, the price police paid me a visit, prompting me to turn off forum comments thereafter. It’s a really nice Shadow too! I bought it back 6 months later for $4200, with a few upgrades. Eventually I replaced all the plastics, coin door, gun handle, and bought new Mantis ramps. I added mylar before the sanctum sustained any wear. I would probably ask $7500-8k these days. It seems sanctum wear is more common than not, and credit dots could be a sign of a real problem or just something minor, which is usually my experience. Just a few years ago these were $3500 for a really nice example, but they are in high demand now. Every time I play mine, I remember why!

Quoted from grantopia:

Same people buying 15K toy stories and 10k addams I'd assume.

Quoted from Luke_Nukem:

Haha, times have seriously changed… $10k for an Addams will get you a blown out one with a bunch of wear
Shadow has always been a crazy undervalued game due to a shit translite, unobtainable parts at the time (Phurba shafts, battlefield kickers and plastic teeth) destroyed sanctums… the game was a route nightmare.. so many features that could break, and would break and render the game nearly unplayable for so long… It was pushed in the back or dumped for $1200. Once people started getting them in the home environment… fixing the issues… dialing it in.. alternate translite.. they realized how amazing the game truly was. Everybody says it.. but with the market trends on pinball… every game will continue to go up and up.. Shadow should be grabbed at 6k all day… if any pops up under 6… You better jump on it quick.. another year or 2… I wouldn’t be surprised if it starts commanding over 7-8k. I wouldn’t sell mine for $12k honestly.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from billsfanmd:

What can I do to bling my gun handle? Black powder coat? Also on left side bolts heads stick out snd catch your finger. Normal? Looks like I have wrong screws. Where can I get correct security screw and nut?
If so done has a spare gun handle that’s already done Lmk. Thx

Thx. Now I just need the gun nickel coated

Quoted from ramegoom:

Nickel plating or "black chrome" is stunning.

Xianex's Backglass just arrived today, it was relatively fast for overseas and he included some stickers for the delay, which was not an issue on my end. The quality and color is amazing, I'm very happy with the purchase.

Quoted from xianek:

Thanks Bob! I am really glad you like it. There's actually a bit more to it... There are some bats that are visible when the artwork is illuminated from the back. Normally they are invisible. Also, the gem on the ring glows slightly depending on the viewing angle. Greetings from Poland! Xianek.

While tiltmonster's is a backglass, Xianek does offer them as a translite as well

Quoted from billsfanmd:

Going to replace both ramps. Anyone have a guide or tutorial. Does not look terrible but first time looks scary

Quoted from Flystoyer:

Also, I have been working on an issue for over 2 years and maybe need to replace the board but don't want to. See the photo of the error for a Ground issue.
I changed the game to led's as it was playing fine prior to then and now 2 years without playing the game. It's time to put a little effort into the fix.
So... Here is the error photo.. All lights are working and the sound from flippers are working Credits are fine, but the start button will not engage the game play.
Any thoughts to where to start over?

Quoted from Manny65:

A ground short can be caused by a failed LM339 on the 10 switch opto board - refer to https://pinwiki.com/wiki/index.php/Williams_WPC#WPC_10_Opto_Board_Problems
If you disconnect J3 on the sw10 opto board (A-18159) and the ground short disappears then it'll confirm the LM339 is the issue.
I also see that you have a Indy 500 that also uses a A-18159, so if you wanted to double check (after doing the above test) you could take the sw10 opto board from the Indy 500 and drop it into The Shadow. This will also allow you to verify that there are no other issues on the machine, before you send the board off for repair (unless of course you a skilled in board work)

Quoted from skuuun:

I assume it's referring to a short in the switch matrix, take a look at the wires associated with row 4 and see if you can find a short.

Quoted from Flystoyer:

Hey All,
Any thoughts of how to polish the gold ramps without replacing or replating?

Quoted from Flystoyer:

Anyone have ideas? OR just replace? Really don't want to for the originality...Thoughts?

Quoted from DrBernd:

The whole playfield looks great and different. I like the illumination style very much. What did you change in comparison to the regular type? Purple GI?

Quoted from Flystoyer:

Thank guys for the guidance, let me go at it a little to see if I can find the short...I like the idea with swapping boards from the other game.
If you can offer anyother thoughts, please feel free as it's been over 2 years turning on and seeing how nice the new LEDs look but NO play.. Ugh!

Quoted from Flystoyer:

Hey for anyone that can continue to help, went into switch test mode and alot of switches trigger some sort of reaction. UGH...
I poke around at tracing the wire and more show up--Thoughts anyone?
See video capture images and photos please...
