Anxious to see what your game looks like when done! I LOVE Black Pyramid but haven't done anything to mine. I'm thinking of LEDs since it looks almost dim next to my other games that have LEDs in them. I'm also thinking of adding the Polk 10" sub to it to pick up and amplify those super deep lows for certain feature scoring. Black Pyramid is a really fun game to play. "Poor man's Indiana Jones"!!

You need a 3d printed black piramid on the playfield!
Or a sarcofocas or what its called
Maybe a scarab beetle too!

There isn;t a massive mod market for Classic Bally/Sterns to be honest. Black Pyramid isn't universally loved either.

Wow!! very nice i picked one up years ago for 100 bucks and to my surprize it worked!! Just needed some love and care I gave it to our fellow Louisiana pinsiders(my old hometown) and they gave it a lot of love and care and they are enjoying it..

Yes very true,The one i picked up was going to the dump if it didn't sell so for the love of our hobby i bought it

While watching a youtube video by TNT amusements on Black Pyramid, I saw that they added an LED behind the moving center target.
I think it was from this place:

Not sure if this is the exact item, but it is similar.
If I had a Black Pyramid, this would be the 1st type of mod that I would do...

Maybe print flipper bat toppers with scarabs!

Sometning like this but then 3d scarabs instead of spiders

On mine, I have put colored bulbs under all the white inserts. And some colored bulbs in some places of the GI. Like this, it's more colourful. I will put pictures or video later.

I've added a metal wire to protect the left bulb, near the left star.

On another Black Pyramid, I've seen a nail at the beginning of each lane, to reduce the entrance and make it harder. I'm not for this. Well adjusted, this pinball can be really hard. It's the case of mine.

I don't like the Medusa bumpers because it's not a Medusa, nor the Medusa targets because each target has its own insert colour on the playfield.

Really? Here is a mod I did to mine back in the summer of 2009. I invited a bunch of pinheads to my house for a party. They asked if it will be easy to identify my house. Yes, very easy. The mod comes in big rolls.

Man!! That hurts just looking at that

Black Pyramids get no love. All the games from Bally of the cheap squeak era are like that.

I see,but it's still a pin have to have some place in the pin heart

A video with gameplay to see the colored bulbs :

Yeah, it has a place... Strapped to a bed of live fire ants... You can score on this game, but all it takes is one small miss and you can be done for that ball. Sometimes, you never get a flipper on the ball. The ball is almost always out of control and to hit the side lanes, the shot has to be very accurate which almost requires the ball to be trapped to execute the shot . Add to that, when the ball comes down the inlanes, there is a little "bump" right before the flipper to mess up your shot. I tell people that I know that this game is "annoying" and to avoid it.

It was more than a basket case. I got a call from a friend saying she knew a guy who rescued a pin from a fire. It sat in his garage for a long time and he decided he was not going to do anything with it; so free if I pick-up. I asked if she knew the title and she said "Indiana Jones I think".

Hooked up the trailer and took off like a rocket only to find Indiana Jones means some kind of adventure theme. Saved from a fire means this was on the first floor of a second floor fire. It got filled with water. His rescue was to throw it in a garage and watch the mold and rust compete to take over. He said he plugged it in but nothing happened. He's lucky nothing happened.

The only things untouched were the boards. Pulled them out, tossed the cab in the yard for the party then to the dump soon after. But I like to pull out the picture once and a while to make people freak out.
