I'm in the club! LOVE IT!!

Mine didn't have a rubber on the nut when I got it and I wanted to add more figures. Bart stops the ball for me now. I'll have to look at the spring...

I love mine but was surprised to find most of my friends hated it and thought it was too hard!?!? I set it to easy mode, increased ball save time and decreased the slope a little and now they're coming around!!

The color pin2dmd is AMAZING in this one, btw... so worth it.

I suck at the reverse flippers. My trick is to just hit both the whole time (like those flipper monkey friends that suck at pinball). Call it a cop out... doh!

I have a couch issue. I installed the weld fix but I still have a switch problem. The first ball on the couch will often count as 2 balls. Are my switches sitting weird??

I like it. It would be cool if they were tiered like on choir risers. I've eBayed and Googled like a maniac for topper ideas... I wish there were larger plastic figures.
Would love to see some diy toppers from da club...

Nobody has a topper that they want to share??

I wrapped a lighting gel around the tube which helped a lot. Since then I added a strip of masking tape across the length of it. Replacing with leds eventually.

Still really wanna see some toppers...

I'd like one! Still trying to figure out a cool topper. Haven't seen any custom toppers "sigh."
Thinking about getting one of these...

It's been said before and I thought it sounded silly... but when the flippers reverse, cross your arms. It's crazy how intuitive the switched hands work!

If you haven't done the $10 speaker buzz fix you are missing out. Took 10 min, would have been less had i been more confident). AMAZING! And, I love that I can now adjust volume between backbox and cabinet independently.

No promotional considerations were received for my testimony

For me, it just needed cleaning and a little straightening

Mine gets louder too. I assumed it was like an attract mode thing cause you're doing well...

I like the lamp!

Here's a mock up for my topper, backbox and speaker panel idea. Been struggling for a year to figure out a topper and then the tv idea hit me. I think it is gonna look cool! Planning vinyl sticker for speaker panel and backbox and a window cling for translite. Not sure for antenna but that seems pretty easy...
Thoughts? Opinions?

Ha, me neither... I just googled that pic for mockup, not my machine.

I went to Signs Now to get an estimate today. The cling for the translite was $27 but the speaker panel and backbox sections were $60! I can get that down a little by making it a little smaller, I had lots of bleed. Priced by square foot. So I went to Kinkos thinking that would be cheaper but it was $150. Even though a previous owner did a crappy black spray paint touch up, I still hate to paint it, seems too permanent.
Anyone have a cheaper or better idea?

I reworked the artwork and shaved a square foot off of each lowering the print cost to $65.25.
Made a topper yesterday in about 30 min and around $10. Would like to find something a little better for the "metal" part of it but it's not bad (IMHO).

Did a little test printing on paper at work today, just partial speaker panel but I'm digging it and will be ordering tomorrow!
Can't decide if purple should wrap around over t molding or not. I'll probably wrap it and trim it off if I don't like it.

Simpson's tv is done! Application was easy took less than an hour. I'm happy

Thanks! No, just cling on the glass. The rest is adhered, the stuff they wrap cars with. Really easy to work with, i could pull it off and on easily. I didn't do the sides, trimmed to the outside of the t molding.

I had one, just broke it working on leds!

Thanks all, glad you like it, I love it! Here's the pics I had already, I can take a few more pics later...

Here's the whole cab and better close up of the antenna (I shoulda dusted).

Thanks! I can't decide if I want to sell them or just share the plans. Looks like 3 of you are interested. Who else would want to buy one? Price would be $100 or less... help me decide!

I had same issue, cleaning and straightening fixed it for me a year ago or so, works fine ever since

+1 on sound mod, cheap, easy to install and HUGE improvement. Also, external powered sub, cheap, easy and HUGE improvement (and you can connect 2 pins to 1 sub)

Just speaker wire. Couldn't believe it myself and called a local tech first. Powered subs can accept speaker inputs and the left and right sides
