Joined the Shadow club a few weeks ago. Great game! Two things. Does anyone have a translight they swapped out to an Aurich in great condition that they want to sell cheap? I looked into the Aurich and ultimately decided I don't want to change the original art that much. Also does anyone have info on that city scape plastic for the backboard? Mine has a dragon and while I like it it's a sticker? And looks like it's bubbling off possibly? And lastly, does anyone repro the black plastic that says the battlefield on it? Mine is cracked and needs help. And as long as I'm going what are people's opinion on replating the habitrials chrome instead of brass? I think it would look better! Would love to hear people's opinions on that.

I'm not afraid of a Shadow!

I'd take one also but would want to see it in Action first.

I'm curious if anyone has plated all the ramps and habitrails, etc in chrome and have some pics? Everyone seems to prefer the brass on this game and I am not a fan at all.

I'm not sure what it is but when I look at brass it just looks cheap to me. I've never been a fan of gold or brass. I'm just really curious what a game done all in chrome looks like.

I encountered a problem tonight with my upper playfield paddle. It stopped kicking the ball forward. I checked the switches and everything is ok except when I go into solenoid T.4 15 Mini Kicker it is not pulsing. Is this the paddle kick? I'm assuming either a wire came loose from the coil or the coil is bad? I just wanted some opinions before i tear the playfield off and try to diagnose.

I should have researched this in the manual. I figured it would be a pain to open up.

Lamprey, that was my thinking on the issue. Thanks for the input.

My Battlefield black plastic that covers switches and surrounds the upper playfield is cracked and broken into pieces. I've checked all suppliers I could think of and am wondering if anyone has any ideas where to find one? Or does anyone have one laying around in great condition?

I really like that back panel City Scape decal. Mine came with a Dragon, which looks good, but yours looks better.

I think Purple would look good.

Pinstadium is vastly overpriced, offers no real options other than bling, bling and more bling. I asked in his forum why he didn't offer something without all the bells and whistles and he wouldn't even answer and I asked more than once. The only conclusion I can come up with is this guy is a giant money grab. I'd love to see an option to just light the game up better that just turns on and off with the game. At $300+ a pop most can't even afford it.

Truth!

Holy crap Twister I am absolutely in!!! I have been trying to find a replacement battlefield cover for forever! Mine is destroyed and they are unobtanium!

I would think this would look great in chrome, black chrome or brass. I am not a fan of brass, but would probably look excellent considering the colors in the game and brass habitrails. I'm in on this for sure.

Sweet looking game. Mine came with Yellow flashers and with the the brass I think that looks great. I am really loving the clear titans on this game.

I am still very interested in seeing someones game that chromed the wireforms. I am not a fan of brass and know it does look good with the color scheme of the game.

Have you settled on a price for this? When you are done with it I will get both this and the TZ switch kit at the same time.

I can’t wait for the Shadow Battlefiled apron. Mine is completely broken and off the game. I also can’t wait to see how bad ass it looks in black chrome.

Pinball , Inc was the guy that made all the ramps before he sold to Starship Fantasy. I’ve ordered multiple things from him and his repuatation is stellar within the pinball community.

I asked this awile back and really didn’t get an answer. Has anyone chrome plated the habitrails in the Shadow? Never been much of a fan of the brass. I know people say it fits the game, but I am curious how chrome would look on it. Anyone done it that provide some pics?

I’m on the list to get that black chrome battlefield protector, the habitrails would probably look amazing in the black nickel or black chrome to match.

Which is witch? The top picture looks more vibrant and colors deeper to me. But it looks like it’s smoothed out compared to the bottom.

Shoutout to Twister. Got my Shadow battlefield cover and it is even more amazing than I had hoped. Great seller, quick response and shipping was pretty quick with no damage. Anyone on the fence with this product or dealing with Twister should have zero reservations about buying from him.

If you are talking about the sticker I got the gold. I didn’t realize there was a choice.

Has anybody redone wireforms in brass or black chrome? I checked out pinball Plating and love the black chrome and have the black chrome upper playfield shroud. I have never been able to see it in a game though. I checked out the brass and damn it looks sharp. I am torn. I’m curious what others have done or think between the two?

I’m not a huge fan of brass but fresh brass on those ball guides looks amazing. I’ve been going back and forth on weather I want to rebrass mine or do black nickel. I have the black nickel plated upper playfield cover that twister made so nickel would match that. I can’t find any decent pictures of one done in nickel though. I’d love to see them when it’s all installed.

I can’t seem to find the switch orientation on the yellow target mech to the upper playfield. I’ve had the switch off for months waiting for the parts to finish it and am stuck. Here are a few pics. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Manny. That is what I had when I started so it did work before. Whoever worked on it jimmied some screws and such to hold the switch on and I needed to pick up the correct screws. I looked in the Shadow manual and couldn’t find that diagram in there. I’ll check it out when I get home and see if I can get it done.

I’m happy with twisters effort. It looks amazing. Because mine never had the cover from the beginning I have no clue why you say that it’s not an exact replica? I’m just happy to have one at all at this point. I will say that I think it would look amazing in brass to match the metal rails. I think I only had the choice of black nickel when I ordered from Twister? Great product either way. I love mine.

My metal switching ramps are beat up pretty good. Has anyone used the Mantis replacements? How would you rate them? Mine need major work.

Mine are the same. Have been rewelded and falling apart again. I’m going to try the mantis ramps. I was just more curious if they play the same as the others and the fit is good.

I’m getting ready to shop my Shadow and was wondering if anyone has used mantis amusements ramps and how their experience was? Mine are beat to hell. Also wanting opinions on wireform colors. Have considered having them done in black but the brass looks nice also. I’ve seen a lot of people say doing them black throws off the colors in the game. And lastly does anyone make a full plastic protector for this game or am I only going to get a partial set of protectors?

I’m thinking about replating my wire forms in brass. I’d like to find a brass battlefield shroud but pinball plating doesn’t have any in stock. I have a black one that the guy from Europe made never installed, but I’m thinking I don’t want to do black now. Anyone want to sell their brass plated shroud? Has anyone ever brass plated the ramps also? Curious how that would look. I am a powdercoater by trade but don’t do a lot of custom powder mostly bulk. I just wonder if powder would have the pop of brass? I’d save a ton of money but wonder if it would look good. I’d love to see pictures for inspiration and ideas. Would love to hear opinions and get some ideas.

Every time I think I might want to part with mine, I realize I just can’t.

So I’m about to do a major shop job and mini restore to my already really nice shadow. I am a powdercoater by trade and don’t want to spend $450 to have my ball guides brasses when I can powder them myself for $20. My problem is I can’t decide on what to do with them. Black, brassish powder color or something else? Can anyone show me powdercoat on shadow rails? I need ideas and thoughts on this.

I wish I could. I work for someone so I can barely do small personal projects for myself.

The brass is tarnished. The game is nice but needs a lot of cleaning and a new set of plastics. I could try to see if I can use some brass polish or something on them.

I have the upper playfield shroud for Shadow in black nickel I think? Or some kind of black chrome color. Is anyone hanging onto a brass shroud they might sell or trade? This came from a guy on Pinside in Europe who was the only one making them at the time. I’m most likely going to keep the brass look after some back and forth what to do. I’d like to match the shroud with the brass ball guides.

Maybe post some more detailed pics? I don’t think you are out of line with what others are asking. I wouldn’t let mine go for less than that personally.
