I love my TOM which has custom made brass trim, active gold tiger saw, PDI clock tower, mind orbits shooter rod and Drano's gold mirror blades. Deep game play it is far from it but the shots feel right all the time and always popular with anyone that comes over to play.

Based on kmoore88's other TOM mods he probably bought the Entrance Ramp light strip from Andy aka judge-dreads-pinball on ebay. You can see more pics of it here:

It won't be hard to do since you can pull from the unused 12V pin outs from the coin door interface for the shooter lane. If you want to light up the back of the game you can tap into J116 for 12V on the power driver board.

The left orbit spots letters in T-H-E-A-T-R-E, spelling Theater starts a 50 million hurry up and when you don’t it all the way around the left orbit it falls into the roll overs at the top that add to your bonus X multiplier. The left loop is also 100% repeatable with ease meaning you can also build up the combo shots at 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 etc... million. Also for every letter that you collect it adds to your overall bonus count too.

So letter gets you bonus, starts a hurry up, combo and possibly bonus X multiplier. This can all be done in one shot that you only ever lose control over when you miss. I have seen my friend get bonus counts in to 300 – 600 million range and all he has done is shoot the left orbit.

You can also score big points when you start multiball too. You might have noticed when it starts you hear the girl counting down “3…..2…..1” if you can nail a jackpot before it reaches 0 you get 100 million. The kick out from the trap door is a pretty easy drop catch too. You can also raise the jackpot value by doing can you guess what? Yup shooting the left loop!

If your existing trunk opto board works then you should be fine with the single board. Alternatively instead of buying the combo you could get the "leon" and trunk opto board separately like me. Aside from saving a few bucks and cleaner looking install it works the same as the combo. I haven't installed the new trunk opto board yet but installed the "leon" board right away and it works great!

You can temporarily install your new brass side rails without using double sided tape till you sort out your new cab decals. The screw and head hinge on each side is good enough to hold it in place.

Then you had better invest in some Festools

If you are redoing the cab decals chances are you will or should be pulling your playfield out of the cab anyways. Then you will probably want to detach and remove your head so this should make moving the cab up/down your basement stairs much easier. I would read more threads on cabinet restorations and see exactly how much prep is involved in getting a superior result. It isn't as simple as removing or sanding off the old decals and apply. I haven't re-done cab decals personally but I know a few who have and it involves a lot of bondo, sanding, bondo, sanding till you have a 100% smooth surface. If not all your cabinet imperfections will show through and can look just as bad as your existing cab. You can see Bryan Kelly removing a client's old IJ cab decals which looked good from far but far from good up close.

Here another fantastic restore done by Bryan Kelly on a Creen and you can see step by step what he had to do in order to prep the cab before he even gets to the point where he can start applying new decals.

me too

I don't suppose anyone has a scan of the spirit ring decal? I had mine replated and had to remove the old decal but could not reuse it.

I removed the magnet using a heat gun from the top and a curved pick from underneath to pull down on the magnet.

Ordered a set of blade decals off Hassanchop and installed them in my game a few nights ago.

Perhaps you have this IEC style service outlet inside your cab? In that case all you would need is this extension cord to convert to a standard plug.
