Joining with a premium. Installed a pin2dmd and some mods coming for fun.. this is a pin I see where a good amount of mods available all look pretty cool.

Curious about those that have installed upgraded speakers — do they make a big difference? I could go for a bit more bass over stock, but not sure if upgrading is worth it..

That looks like a great setup but ouch on the cost!!

Props to pinballjj for the horde mod implementation— I took his idea and tried it with some 3D printing. Took some iterations and patience with plastic glue but happy with the outcome .. photos don’t really capture it but shooting a giant zombie head never really made sense so this a nice upgrade .. works perfect!

Did pin graffix only do a couple of the x-bow wraps fir the apron? I see there’s one example at pinball refinery- don’t see any others really? That is really cool looking! Is anyone rocking a red translucent apron? I’d be interested to see pictures, or video with the lighting kit below it..

They work but you didn’t get the full colorization w/out a ton of work coloring it for pin2dmd..

Between colordmd or pin2dmd? If someone colored the game it’s installed on already I’d go with pin2dmd probably.. I mean cost wise it’s a big savings but otherwise I’d go colordmd. I had a pin2dmd in Twd briefly before swapping with my sopranos colordmd. It was fine.. very red and pink pallete. But with colordmd there was so much detail that you just couldn’t see before because of lack of contrast between shades. Esp with the stock dmd. Also I generally really like the smoothing effect you can apply with the LCD.

Ramp I’ve heard yes. I assume Xbow as well, given an operator probably would want to do that if it breaks

Any chance you’d share the STL for the box?

It’s pretty easy 1 man operation to load and unload if you do it correctly— cardboard on ground in front of back bumper. Dolly game over about 6” off bumper. Shooter side (front of game) goes in first. You just tip the game over to rest on bumper, then 1 heave ho and push into car. Exact opposite coming back out of the car. Pull it out till it’s close to balance point, then swivel down to ground and tip out of car. Hand truck the rest of the way to game room. Just make sure the head was ratchet strapped down to the body.. in case it was loaded in off a lift table.

Ha!! I prefer hires on most games but never put that together that it meant hi-res lol

Stared at pictures for a while. I don’t see any lines or damage pointing at the well walker. Balls get worn and dinged up hitting anything metal, over time. Personally I think home owners are way to anal about it.. I almost never change mine. I’d take a look in a year and see

Ah ok I see it now. Yeah, pretty certainly debris - rubber or from the walker belt sticker wearing off

I feel like watching the show is mandatory for long term owners of the game .. I honestly hated the game when played on location before having watched the show. Love it now.. we’re rewatching all the seasons in fact.

Ha! I discovered that this year as well, few months after picking up a premium. Pretty decent stuff, price not too bad.

What it that between the posts and the board? Are Those plastic ‘locking’ insert things? If so, I’d try pliars on each corner on the plastic and see if you can loosen the tabs and pull each corner of the PCb off them carefully one at a time

I know what you’re talking about - I swear I’ve seen it too.. a more typical zombie rather than a well walker. To me, while the well walker is ugly it makes a lot more sense than the alternative. On the other hand - the giant head in the prison makes zero sense so I did the McFarland zombie diy mod as well.. and damn it looks sooo much better than that head. Surprised more people don’t do it.

There were a couple posts about it here. I have posted my version as well. That’s about it afaik.. not many people doing it as it’s a little involved (buying McFarland characters, cutting and gluing them, creating a bracket/carrier for them.

I would share the carrier I created for 3D printing if interested Pm me. It slides onto and bolts to the same hardware that the giant head is attached to. But it requires heat set nuts and new bolts..

What is this mod?

Edit - nm, found it. That is a cool mod! Wonder what micro controller he used and how it was programmed..

Yeah.. would love to get one as well!

yes -- expecting mine by sometime next month.. intl mail of course takes time. Great looking Mod!

Bicycle girl mod from frank arrived a few days ago from Germany. Install not too bad with an included stiff wire to thread the lighting wires around. Love this mod! Disconnected a 12v bright light mod that was prev installed here and washing out the red fade effect when you hit her - works great now! Really glad that he made a few more of these.
