Thank you, someone took care of me on my request.

We are going to have a few TOM mods listed next week. These all have lights, and can be hooked up to be on all of the time, or triggered from a play field light.

Lighted Tiger. Replaces plastic tiger, will work with spinning saw mods.

Theater Faces. Can be mounted a few places in the game.

Chandelier. Can be mounted in a few locations in the game. Looks good on TAF also.

Rabbit in hat. 2 circuits. Light is one circuit, motor to spin rabbit is another circuit. Can be placed in a few locations in the game.

I am getting a lot of PM's about the tiger. We are making now and will have for sale next week. It will be $99.99, replaces your current tiger, no changes to the game. It can be hooked up to GI or playfield lights (NOT 12V). Comes with everything needed to mount and hook up. We use Comets Matrix system for hook up. The Tiger real helps to light up the game.

This is the prototype and is nearly perfect, making a slight change to the paint, removing paint from back of paw.

Here are a couple more pictures.

pinballinreno I have you on our list.

Lighting was a challenge on this mod. The first one we poured we put some lights at the body end, and the light just would not penetrate, it is 9 inches long. We also wanted to have these colored close to the original, so it looks good even with the lights are off. The orange color further cuts down the light transmission. We then tried some middle placement, but the light would not transmit. We tried top placement, but then light would not transmit to the paw. When it is all said and done, we poured 8 with different light placement, and this is what we felt worked the best. The LED light strip in this is 21 lights.

With the angle of the lights and the orange, we feel it does not overpower that area. We feel the amount of light it makes matches the game very well and really accents the orange pop bumper caps well. I did mentioned that we use Comet matrix plugs, and if you want more control over the lights, you can use Comet's light dimer for $1.95

We are getting a lot of emails on this, so I started a list. If you are interested, PM me, and I will put it on my list. We can only make 6 of these a week, and I will email when we have one ready. The reason we can only make 6 of these a week, is because the mold is large and expensive, and it takes 24 hours to cure completely in the mold.

These are hand made, so the light placement does very slightly, less then a 1/4" I would guess, and they are hand painted.

We got hit pretty hard by Irma and lost over a week, just getting things back on track.

I am going to start a thread on our TOM mods when we get some stock up and caught up, please reply on that thread. If I get a fair amount of feedback of a change, we can make changes.

The original plastic has more white on it then the translit does. We opted not to put white on the tiger, because no white matches the translit pretty close. With the lights in the tiger it gives you the choice of lights on, lights off or you could dim it.

Please give me some clarification. Please look at picture above of the tiger not lit. Is that what you want, but with white under the tiger? Or are you saying you want an opaque orange? Red eyes? Do you want more white like the plastic it is replacing?

Trying to make one model that meets most peoples needs.

Dan

Ok, let me make sure I understand what you want. Feedback please.

Solid orange, white under head with a little white on face, red glowing eyes.

If that works, we will need to do some color matching and light placement. If all goes well, should have a prototype by Friday, if issues will take a little longer.

Dan

Thanks for the feedback.

Yes.

We will offer 2 tigers, the lit on from our early pictures and an opaque one with lit eyes, per multiple requests.

I was not aware of this, and most of us here were not aware. We though tigers were more orange, like Tony The Tiger on Frosted Flakes. Turns out they are more of a brown/orange, like some Fall leaves may be. That is what advertising does to us.

We looked at the video, high level of orange in that tiger. We then looked at the original plastic piece on the game, a bit more brown. Then started to look at other tiger pictures/models, a bit more brown. So we are color matching to what most tigers colors we found, the color will be slightly browner then the video.

If the color holds up, should have a prototype in a few days. Sometimes the colors do odd things when we start to mold them.

Dan

Here are some pictures of the opaque tiger. Is this the colors and paint you are looking for? It has white under the face and a few other areas. It has red lights for the eyes, but they did not line up in this prototype, it is giving us some problems. These lights will require more work, may be a few ($10) dollars more.

That is also the second version of the theater mask.

Once we get this tiger right, I will post here and start a separate thread.

Yes, our tigers will work with the tiger saw mods.

We are working on the opaque tiger, very close to having done. We will have the option of what color eyes you would like, blue, white, red, orange and green.

Dan

On the tiger, I ended up making 3 different versions. The tiger is the same size on all 3, and are designed to work with existing saw mods. The original all orange light up. One that does not light up and has light white accents, eyes light up to your choice. One that does not light up and has more heavy white, eyes light up color of your choice.
