Thanks Gweem! I noticed Markmon had the prison tower mod installed on his machine and I like the way it looks where is the best place to buy the lit tower mod, also who sells the BG lighting mod?

Quoted from DeathHimself:Someone is going to be a happy killing boy
What number is it, it looks close to mine in the 400's
I am LE # 439. 
Quoted from bigdaddy07:Where did you get the prison tower from? I looked all over and they are gone everywhere. I contacted Mezalmods and it looks like they won't be made anymore because of some sort of hangup at Stern.
I like the way it looks back there enough that I'm considering fabricating my own.
Grab one here looks like he still has some left...
ebay.com link: itm $99.00
Quoted from bigdaddy07:The auction says ended and their site no longer shows them. I'll contact them just in case.
Shoot sorry man it showed 10 of them when I grabbed mine a few days ago, those went fast.
Ok I need to look at the prison wire mod.. Some one post pics of it installed please.
I just installed the tower.. is it only supposed to flash with the pop bumper flash? Also really like the blueMezel ramp lights but I'm super bummed when I went to install it one of the wires broke off at the solder joint and the fans LED strip is nearly impossible to get a good solder joint on. I got it working for now but I don't think it will last.. Sure looks cool though!
Quoted from DeathHimself:Did you crimp into the wire that comes down from the barn? Then of course the other crimp is the flasher under the pops.
The leads that come from the barn were just plug in jumper with Z connector. I crimped the one for the pop flasher and it works fine. The pic shows the instructions from Mezel's site
Quoted from DeathHimself:and you checked to make sure black was to black? I thought I read somewhere that some of these towers may have had a few leave with the wires reversed in some of the plugs.
Thanks!!
You nailed it! The plugs were wired backwards, I switched them around and my prison tower works perfectly now.
Quoted from iceman44:You can see the orange wire there Concrete, the green looks kick ass too.
I didn't remove the relay because I want it to flash and be tied into the GI.
I'm sure Steve can get the whole kit ready for you. If I was only going to get one I'd get the orange although the green is cool too.
That looks awesome Ice! I will have to add that mod.
Quoted from ATLpb:I'm in. I mod, a lot... I will be done adding and installing by April. here's my starting point. LE with blood armor, pingraffix blade skins, PDI glass, custom pingraffix apron wrap, plastic sling and inlane guide replacement (which I think I'm the only person on the planet that likes...) Cointaker backbox lighting deluxe. still need a ton of lights, flashers, colordmd, speakers, etc etc
btw I have the stock LE brownish rustish armor just sitting here. anyone want to buy it?image_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpegimage_(resized).jpeg
I don't see that apron wrap on pingraffix web site can you link me to it?
I just got my LE unboxed and mods installed, also loaded up the milhouse sound package. This game is knocking my socks off! I'm gunna play it for a bit and then try Cleland and SKB's sound package. What an awesome game!!! (my wife and daughter are loving it too)
Wasn't sure what expect for drains out of the pops when I unboxed my LE this weekend, but I have been pleasantly surprised that I am getting at most 1 in 14 balls goes STDM out of the pops (no modifications to the game). I have the game perfectly leveled and at roughly 6.8 deg pitch. The left outlane is a bit brutal I guess I need to work on my nudging skills (I have a set of yoyo lane extenders on the way just in case) 
Ok gang the only issue I have with my just inboxed LE is that sometimes the woodberry drop target falls without being hit and when this happens it doesn't fall all the way so it won't reset. I read somewhere that the not falling all the way part is caused by the sticker on the drop target catching the mech on the way down but didn't see anything on the target falling without being hit (could be shaker motor induced)
Ok I need to pay Gnassel for his awesome BG lighting mod he said to send him 60€ Via PayPal how much USD is that?
Quoted from Gnassel:My salary is the positive feedback. Payment is only "nice to have"
Well I am extremely impressed with the quality and performance of your BG ramp lighting mod, TWD should of come from the factory with your mod on it IMHO.
Quoted from T7:My suggestion - try removing the sticker and see if all your problems go away.
I cut a small notch in the bottom of the sticker on the Woodberry drop and it fixed the problem, thanks for the suggestion!
Quoted from ATLpb:I just realized, neither of my magnets are working. Didn't have time to check connections. I never disabled them in settings. if it turns out they are fully connected when I check later, could it be a fuse(s)?
I believe it is fuse F7 4 amp slow blow that is blown. This issue was supposed to be corrected with the new code but seems to still be an issue. I believe it is caused by an over use of both magnets during multiball.
Quoted from Delta9:Don't forget to switch the plastics behind the well walker
Can you explain this?
The lit tower is a must have! Also I really like the lit ramp mod from Mezel it's cheap and the blue lit ramps give a nice offset to all the red in the game, also I really like the shaker implementation on TWD.
Quoted from Shapeshifter:Where did you buy it? I can't seem to find on Cliffy's site and have bought direct from him before?
http://www.passionforpinball.com/twd.htm
Quoted from bigd1979:I have the cliffy on mine and took the foam off and it sits nice and flat now. I also added a rubber ring to right side of pivot point under clip to stabilize and center it better. Its pretty smooth now and may get one reject in 25 shots .20160203_201509.jpg
Curious will the BG ramp dimple the cliffy without a little piece of foam on it?
Quoted from Lermods:Just switched my code from cleland back to millhouse and first game got 482 mil...had over 300 mil on the first ball, with extra balls for scoring and woodbury shot. Reached horde again, got 72 mil off that mode. 60 walkers killed overall. After horde, couldn't figure out what to do as everything seemed to start over, need to read the rules.
For extra ball settings, standard adjustment 1 set to fixed, replay setting set to extra ball, replays levels are number of extra balls you want, then set the levels for each extra ball.
20160214_131131_(resized).jpg
I havnt tried Clelands sound package yet I am running Milhouse, what do you prefer Cleland or Milhouse?
Is there a written rule sheet for TWD Prem/LE?
Quoted from e4mafia:Right here, my friend!
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XNUs8fgLOB2hVBBzcsgxDvdEuBbGhRuwSJdkkeo1Xv4/edit
Its a community document, so feel free to add if you discover anything new, or you find a mistake.
Huge thanks for this! I just read thru 10 pages of rules and now I feel like I have a way better handle of what going on!

Quoted from NPO:Looking at ordering the Crossbow with laser site as well as the BG light mode from Gnassel soon.
Anyone be able to comment on the crossbow with laser mod? Any inputs/thoughts/reviews?
I just added Yoyo's Laser crossbow mod to my LE, it really does help aim the crossbow and it looks great!
The only intermittent drain issue I have with my LE is the occasional SDTM drain from the prison magnet. I can usually avoid it by double pulsing the flippers but im curious if re-indexing the magnet is worth doing?
Quoted from Lermods:I took the pads off and it got worse, plus it was digging into the Mylar so put them back on. Cliffy on the way.
So you are saying just go with the cliffy with no foam pad? is the best air ball prevention? How quickly does the Cliffy get dented with out the foam pad, Can you snap a pic of it?
Quoted from sparechange1974:Good eye bigd1979, you're absolutely right, his just needs to be reversed
X2 good eye bigd! I bet this is the problem.
Does it matter which side you put the rubber Spacer on the BG Ramp? I put a spacer to take up the slop in the ramp on the left side and this seems to have pushed the ramp all the way over to the right. It seems like my air balls are almost worse now. The air balls happen on a hard shot when the ball makes the transition from the playfield to the ramp.
Quoted from smassa:Your plastic ramp isn't level with the up/down part of the ramp. I best fix is to remove the hex spacers that hold up the plastic ramp and slightly grind them down till the transition is smooth. I did this on mine and i've never had an airball since.
Thank you for this fix! 
So simple! I took approx 1/8 inch off the hex spacer on the right side and my BG ramp now lines up perfectly and its smooth as butter!
Quoted from netcivil:Should my BG Ramp of the clear cover over the entrance to the ramp? Mine looks like this, like there is something missing, compared to the other images I've seen on here.
IMG_6502[1]_(resized).JPG
The cover/air ball deflector is missing, here is a pic of mine.
Quoted from Bigbossfan:Looking for some guidance. My buddy is also going to paint my prison tower. What's the easiest way to take this off guys? I've got the nut off, so all it's hanging by is the wire. I was just going to take off connectors underneath playfield, but then came across these connectors that I have no idea what to do with. Help!
Those are scotch locks you can buy them at any car parts/electronics store, you will need cut the leads on either side of the scotch lock (take note of how the wires were connected) remove the tower and then use new scotch lock to reconnect (or solder connections if possible). The scotch locks are pretty self explanatory on how to use.
Quoted from ATLpb:^_^ here it is. it might be done...maybe...

incomplete: can't find a tower yet. still going to do something behind bicycle girl head so you don't see the pinball mechanics behind her. I would swap out the flippers for black or red but I had a horrible experience with my IMVE regarding swapping flippers (poor manufacturing/fit) which scarred me for life.
Plays even better than it looks : )

What is holding your custom apron on? I noticed the 2 nuts that are normally under the cards are not there? Also on installing the walker pants does the rubber plug that sits about where the walkers belt buckle need to be used?
Quoted from ATLpb:Nothing- there's literally nothing holding the apron on. It just sits there.
Yeah the rubber plug is maintained. Joe/Jose at pingraffix designed the decal to be placed around it.
I went ahead and bolted my translucent red apron down, also put flasher effects under it
I put the yoyo crossbow mod on my LE and now sometimes when the ball loads into the crossbow the cannon motor doesn't start and the game eventually goes into ball search and occasionally weakly fires the ball while the crossbow is in the parked position. If I hit the left flipper button the crossbow will activate and auto launch the ball.

Quoted from markmon:Did you get this fixed? What you describe is what would happen if the cross bow ball in crossbow switch is not being activated.
I reseated all the connectors to the crossbow and now it seems to have mostly fixed the problem (maybe 1 out of 10 balls doesn't actuate when it drops into the crossbow) Not sure exactly what the deal was, but if the crossbow wouldn't actuate I could hit the left flipper and it would actuate the crossbow and auto fire the ball.
To YOYO I do not think your mod caused the issue, from my experience with the crossbow it is a touchy mechanism and it seems like the switches are easy to get out of adjustment. After installing the laser crossbow mod I had to adjust the cannon home switch as the cannon was cycling and stopping aimed almost dead center up the playfield thinking that was home position. It seemed strange to me as I didn't even touch to home switch but ended up needing to adjust it to get the cannon to recognize the home position. 
Quoted from crwjumper:Set to factory defaults except "special" is set to extra ball and "boost" is off.

What is "boost"? Any other tips from people on game settings?
Quoted from Delta9:So cool to see all these new peeps loving this pin
This game really kicks ass! If you havnt reviewed your rating on it since the recent code updates..... 
Quoted from centerflank:Anyone have a video of it? I think thats one of the few things I want to add.
It's an awesome mod! Easy to install too.
Wow finally made it to Horde.. What a fantastic mode!! The intro with the music and the shaker implementation is bad ass, I felt like I was fighting for my life!
Does rotating the prison magnet 1/4 turn change the direction of the ball when it leaves the magnet?
Quoted from Shapeshifter:Back to the BG ramp and air balls......
So, mine does not line up here.
2 different types of screws as seen.
Now, how to remove and then add washer and get screws back in and the whole area is boxed in?
I do not want to attempt this until I am sure others have done it and it works and easy to get screws back in!
Lower on right side.IMG_9515.JPG
Don't mess with inserting a washer, remove the hex post on the right side of the BG ramp and shorten it as necessary (approx 1/8 inch/measure it) reinstall and problem solved.
1 week later
Quoted from Shapeshifter:Not sure what you mean here? How do you stop it on weapons or medical?
Hit the the drop target when the insert is lit and it will stay lit.

Can someone tell me what retracts the plunger in the crossbow on the premium/LE? It seems like sometimes my plunger hangs up and when the ball gets diverted into the crossbow, the ball doesn’t drop all the way in because the plunger isn’t all the way retracted. When I manually push the plunger back and forth there doesn’t appear to be a spring or anything that retracts it.
