    Quoted from Clnilsen:

    Very cool! I see you say Bally 1988+... any idea if they would work for the bally thumper bumper part number 0017-00042-0460?

    Quoted from Colsond3:

    I'm not sure if what's pictured above is the extent of what Zitt / Pinball-Mods is offering, and I'm sure he'll chime back in.

    The only pop bumper bodies we offer are as pictured. I don't have any additional information other that was is posted on the website. I would have to defer to the expertise offered on Pinside to answer this question.

    Quoted from vid1900:

    Nice to see a USA supplier after all these years.
    These are especially good for darker playfields, as old pop bodies were made from translucent milky plastic.
    The last few years have only had opaque white bodies available; that allow no light to pass through.

    Thanks, Vid! I intend to use some of my stock to upgrade the Pop Area of the Stern Star Trek, STNG, and maybe RFM. But that will probably have to wait until I after TPF when I can take apart the machine without a deadline.

    Quoted from Clnilsen:

    Just a heads up zitt, your cart I'm not sure is totally working. Just did an order twice now (which I can see both times executed fine on paypal's side, and have a transaction # from them) that you cart is saying "could not verify transaction". I haven't received anything email wise from your system on the completed transaction either.
    Not sure if there's a coding issue, but didn't want you to miss sales. Hopefully my order makes it through to you.

    Yeah - I'm pretty sure that Paypal made a un-forecasted change on their side about 6mths ago. Unfortunately; their developer "sandbox" tools don't see to replicate the failure.
    I did get two orders from you; one was refunded and the other was dropped off at the postoffice at about 4:45pm.

    I'll have to spend some time this weekend to see if I can replicate the problem with their sandbox. I'm guessing I wont be able to.

    Quoted from dudah:

    Pretty cool. Would love to see some pictures of them on games and lit up!

    Love to .. but don't see it happening before TPF later this month. To much going on. On Stern Star trek; it's not a simple swap because you have to remove the Vengance and Beta ramps... And electrically; the pops would need to be rewired to prevent overload of the VNB GI lines.

    Hopefully Clnilsen or some other guys will post pics when they are done with their mods.

    Quoted from Clnilsen:

    Just want to say my order issue got fixed beautifully! Thanks!!!!

    Let me say this incase anyone is on the fence.

    A human male... IE me... reviews every order and is packed by yours-truely.
    So; If the order looks weird - you'll get an email.
    If you accidently duplicate an order because of the paypal vs my Ecommerce platform... I will notice and you'll automatically get a refund for the second order.

    If you see some product AFTER you order but before I ship... and do a second order with more stuff... then I will combine the orders together and refund the shipping as appropriate for the second order.

    Finally; for those overseas (which shouldn't be an issue for this product) - if for some reason the shipping charges are too much... or I can ship it cheaper - You will get a refund for the shipping charges as applicable.

    Quoted from PinRob:

    Just placed an order for my TZ and JM machines

    Awesome - got the order. Will ship on Monday.

    I just installed Yellow and Blue in my Stern Star Trek LE for the Command and Science PopCaps. I didn't want to disassemble the USS Vengeance again being so close to TPF so the Red will have to wait.

    I also haven't taken pictures because I'm not using a LED which will illuminate the bumper body yet. My LE is very sensitive to GI loading; so will probably have to come up with some kind of circuit to power the LEDs.

    PinRob and Chris, your Transparent popbumper bodies were dropped off at our local postoffice before 5pm.

    Quoted from cody_chunn:

    but isn't the term for these items "translucent"?

    Yeah. I'm simply using the "language" coined by our supplier.
    (that's my story and I'm sticking to it)

    I do not see any screw holes countersunk in these bodies and did not see any issues when I put two of them into my Stern Star Trek.

    No, sorry. I generally cannot travel to shows outside of TX due to "day job" responsibilities.
    Even the TX shows; I don't bring product as I choose to be part of the Pinball community socializing rather than be chained to a Booth/Table.

    I am out of stock on the Red, Clear, and Yellow popbumper bodies.
    I'm in discussions with Pinball.Center to order new stock of these bumper bodies.

    Is anyone interested in the Chrome or Gold bodies?

    I am pleased to report the new shipment of Clear, Red, and Yellow transparent pop bumper bodies are back in stock.

    Additionally; I have sourced a small number of the Chrome and Gold bodies incase someone has interest. If these sell quickly; I'll consider stocking more. Gold and ChromeGold and Chrome

    I've expanded our stock of transparent products by stocking new Pop Bumper Skirts in translucent Red and transparent clear. These skirts will go nicely with these translucent pop bodies and are perfect if your Playfield has art hidden by the opaque skirts.
    transparent Red & Cleartransparent Red & Clear
    At this time; these are the only two colors being manufactured... let us know if you want other colors.

    Finally; Since we are dressing up Popbumpers; it's only fair that we try and hide some of the wiring with a custom made Pop Bumper Thingy. In addition to the regular silver; we are offering gold glitter. Gold & Silver Pop ThingiesGold & Silver Pop Thingies The gold is an exclusive color for our webshop and is laser cut here at our facility. As a result; we can customize the design with any color acrylic available. IF this interests you; drop us a line.

    Quoted from mcclad:

    these bodies and skirts work on a Gottlieb Waterworld?

    I don't have any direct information other than most pins of this error used similar pops and skirts.
    Do you have a part number for the pop body and/or skirt?

    Quoted from Dr-Tommy:

    These look great! Just ordered me up a few blues with clear skirts to dress up the stock lab in #Scared Stiff.

    Awesome; Thanks Tom. Packed and ready to go out in tomorrow's USmail.
    Post pictures; because I've only seen pics of one Space Shuttle with clear skirts... and I haven't done any of mine yet.
    I need incentive to unpack from TPF'18 and do the install.

    #43 5 years ago
    Quoted from mcclad:

    looking at a diagram in the Waterworld manual, I don't think the body of the pop is the same.

    Ah. Uses the older GTB style pop bumpers like Black hole?
    Can't look it up because of licensor stupidity.

    Anyway; all orders as of 2pm were shipped and are at Post Office.

    Quoted from WhiskeyTango:

    I'm thinking of getting these to match the RYB undercaps of your STTNG Popcaps. Do you think that would be "too much"?

    No. That's exactly what I did in my machine. I think it looks pretty good myself.

    #51 4 years ago

    I color matched.
    Mine's still packed up from tpf or I'd take a pic

    Oooo, pretty.

    Thank you Zitt.

    You're welcome - thanks for the business.
    Hopefully more people take advantage of the translucent skirts and bases.
    I just now have complete stock of the skirts which include "points".

    carries them, not sure if they come from the same place

    They do not. In some circles; imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... But not as far as I'm concerned.
    At least the customer wins with reduced pricing and a better color selection.
