Tilt monster wins by seconds pm your address

I could use a set!

Sweet! Thank you!

Just wanted to update this and say the ear plug trick worked perfectly for my machine. Tilt is now very fair and predictable. Thx for the help!!!!

Do you have a picture of the ear plug trick?

I'm happy to say I've rejoined the club - only sold originally to pay for a GZ Premium. I've been able to buy one back
Aurich do you still offer the translite & speaker panel package?
Is there anyone still making metal battlefield surrounds to replace the plastic one?
Sonic I'll need to buy another MRS switch for the left ramp

Welcome back!

Get a Pinsound board and check out my sound pack I made.. Really changes the game for the better… makes it Epic!

Also… Aurich hasn’t made the translite for awhile now… although they come up for sale here in there on the forum.

I reached out to Pinballplating as he was the guy who made the Metal shrouds originally… Didn’t seem like it was coming back in the near time future… I’d love one for mine as well..

Im on the other side of the fence. Pinsound is so expensive and it changes NOTHING about the gameplay, just the sound and music. Not worth it to me. Lot of other mods to buy for that price. Just add a sub and youll be happy.

Did you give the video a listen? Don’t knock it until you try it… The music and sounds will definitely immerse you deeper into the entire pinball playing experience. Yea.. it is expensive, but there’s a reason for it. My games aren’t going anywhere.. everything I buy, I buy to keep period. I sold my entire collection years ago and am now paying quadruple to get them all back. So I’m throwing everything I can find at each one of them ie; chrome plating, Pinsound, color dmd, PDI glass, tasteful mods etc etc.

“Just add a sub and you’ll be happy”. Ahhhh the sounds of highly compressed low bit rate thunder and gunshots from 1993 do hold a dear place in my heart as I used to say the exact same thing to people…. But once you have heard the difference… literally 4k audio wav files running through a 2.1 stereo sound with an entire EQ..(and a sub!) you simply cannot go back. Did I mention.. you can toggle between original score and custom mixes by just pressing the volume down button?

Pinsound is worth every penny. Have on on STTNG, Getaway and The Shadow.

You download my Pack?

Here you go. Below is video about it

he was the second guy to make them, first guy that came up with the idea was across seas.

Ive listened to a bunch of reorchestrations. Considered it for my T2, Shadow, JP. Always something else I would rather spend the money on.

When I play games with pinsound at other peoples houses, it just seems out of place and wrong. Doesnt do it for me.

Not everyones opinion, I get it. Just sharing my thoughts.

About 15-20% of the time my start scene saucer rejects the shot. Anyone have a recommendation for making that percentage lower? I straightened out the switch actuator in the saucer hole and it seemed to help a bit, but it's still kicking out a decent amount. It's such a tight shot so there's nothing more frustrating than finally launching one into the saucer and having it spit out

Great! Thanks.

Funny enough, but not easy to replicate. Any other tricks ?

He has mentioned doing another run, but has been real busy. Here's the thread, it has a Google form you can add your name to for when he's ready to make more.

Thank you, I have added myself there
Is there anyone doing a metal surround for the battlefield? I had a beautiful one from Twister last time but there was only 1 batch done

Chris Royalty at http://www.pinballplating.com picked up doing them after Twister wasn't able to do a 2nd batch. Here's his plating thread
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/pinballplatingcom-chrome-brass-black-nickel-powder-coating, which contains posts on his shroud for The Shadow. Haven't heard of anyone else doing them

Looks like he has the shrouds on his sister site, linked below, no details in the description though. I'd assume these are the plated metal ones, not just chromed plastic. He has said email is the best way to contact him with questions [email protected]

https://hotrodarcade.com/products/shadow-shroud

They’re listed but they aren’t available. Not really in stock.

Has anyone had the bumper on the upper PF (what you control with flipper buttons) come off? Is there any reason it can't be permanently attached, as super glue isn't holding up so I am planning to use gorilla glue.

Supposed to be held in by 2 screws and 2 nuts

You can see the hardware in this post a way back:

Interesting. I see what happened now. The front part cleanly broke off the back piece where the screws mount. I'm just going to order a replacement. Thanks!

If anybody is repairing their Battlefield pinion gear and needs to source a new set screw, since the repair kit is out of stock and the replacement screw from pinballspareparts in Australia is super expensive when you factor in shipping, this screw can be purchased and lightly filed to fit in the pinion gear:

Does anybody have an extra Battlefield Shroud that they would part with? Or a source online? My game is missing that part and Chris over at Hot Rod Arcade is out of stock.

Many thanks.

EDIT: just saw a few other folks are also looking...

Weird! The site will let you add to cart and go to checkout. I'm not ready to buy one yet otherwise I'd try actually ordering one lol.

I do have trying to make another run on my list, just been hard to find time and energy to focus on it with all my projects—both personal and professional—that I'm juggling at the moment.

Shadow grail for anyone looking to upgrade. I also have a HUO shadow that has about 100 original plays, definitely don't need both and would part with either and keep the other.

Yes Chris let me know he’s not sure when he can do another batch of battlefield shrouds as the fabricator isn’t responding to his messages - so it’ll be a while
If anyone has one they’d part with let me know please

https://shop.mrpinball.com.au/product/pinion-repair-kit-the-shadow/

Would anybody be willing to take some measurements of their Battlefield Shroud? I am going to try to see if a local metal fabricator or buddy with a 3d printer can make them for me.

I got mine from pinballplating.com, black nickel (but he did have other finishes). Included the battlefield decal. Metal, welded. That thing is never going to move, beautiful piece! See if they still have some.

Picked one up today, very happy with it

Saltimbanco I hear you, Hot Rot Arcade/Pinball Plating was my first choice, they did my gun in black nickel and it's amazing.

I hit up Chris but they are out of stock on the battlefield shroud as his fabricator is not responding to messages. So undetermined when they will be available again from him. I am looking to finish up my game, I don't mind waiting but thought I'd explore getting one made locally.

Nice!

I'll buy one if you can get one made. I don't have measurements for you though as my machine is in storage waiting for my shed to be built

"The sun is shining"..."But the ice is slippery"

Hi everyone! I recently bought The Shadow and I'm really excited to be part of the group! I was looking for one for a really long time and finally got my hands on one! Super happy about it! I'm going to get it this Thursday but I know for a fact that I will need some upgrade on the gun cause I already saw it and it's not in a good shape at all! So Hey that makes us two! I'm definitely up for one as well my friend if I may!

Mine has LED’s in the inserts already, need to get the non ghost rom patch as a few bendies are ghosting.
It has incandescents in the GI, what looks best, warm white ( looks slightly warmer than sunlight ) or cool white LED’s? I use the fluted type like on CGC remakes.
I like to use white in the GI.
Thanks.

I have cool white GI and I think it looks good with the darkness in Shadow. I’m ordering warm for Jackbot because of all the colors. Really just personal preference imo.

Thanks, I did warm white when I had Jackbot and that looks good. I normally go for warm white, think I will have to try both lol.

Personal preference, but I've always liked Warm white leds for playfields and inserts (with the occasional color bulb under an insert if it needs more "pop"), especially on machines that originally had incandescent bulbs. Just makes the machine look like it was supposed to in my opinion. And I like Cool white for the backbox as it makes the artwork more vibrant.

Warm white. This is an art deco themed pin so warm works well. Search for my earlier posts where I test out lighting.

Thanks, will do.

Edit: Found your post/pics, will stick with warm white which is my go to anyway.

Lighting is pure preference. But for what it's worth if you're using my translite it will look accurate to the design with cool white LEDs behind it. If you change that up because you like it better in some other configuration that's a-okay with me, whole point of modding a game is to make it yours and be happy with how it feels. But that is how it "should" look if that matters to you.

I personally run cool white in my GI, with LED-lit purple posts and purple flasher covers on the ramps. So I leaned into the cooler side of things.

I agree, frosted cool white with your awesome artwork looked the best to me...
