The LE's are trading for 20kAU here atm.

Yeah it's title dependent, that was from a guy who sold me a 12kAU Aerosmith LE. Seems some are just really collectible here amongst the LE guys. We only get 10% of the total LE allocation, so they sell out on preorder in hours.

Disagree, for a few bucks good glass is good value.

Tween 2-$300 here in Australia depending on brand.

It's 5am and i've been a member of your club for 10 mins. Yippee, looking forward to my first sight of the machine in the flesh.

I would also very much appreciate this and happy to chip into the original persons PP account for it if that's the done thing. I found the Cleland one, but havn't got the r rated cleland combined with the other music.

Somoenes already done the fish tank mod on my machine. Funny, it came with a spanish rule card and an english pricing card.

Thanks, never thought about that. All my games have custom cards from Coindropper anyway so i'll be going that route.

Maybe i'm the only one, but i like it when the ball gets thrown straight down the guts in a fuck you way so fast there's no time to slide. If it's only one time in twenty it's a cool feature.

Especially when it happens to my opponent.

Anyone whinges here the first thing someone will say, 'There's no crying in pinball!'

Was gunna order the survivors inside one the other day. looks like i should have as the mezel one is gone now.

At $94US shipping for two stickers and a bottle of novus they can stick that clean up their arse.

Their pinside shop won't work, they must have disabled the $17US international shipping. i have to order from their home page where they want $94.

Sorry for the noob question, but i'm not much good with the tech stuff and i have so many different machines.

can someone please point me with a link that shows how to load the sounds in this machine? Is it a usb or do i need to get a rom thingo burnt?

Thank you, is it in the backbox or under the playfield, this dipswitch and usb socket?

Thanks guys a mate told me to youtube it, i'll do another search

You'd love Houdini then. Best use of magnets i've seen.

You're a better man than me. As soon as i sell a game and take a deposit i switch it off cause it doen't belong to me anymore and i'm scared it will break.

You need carbon steel balls.

Thanks, that's choice.

Thanks flipordie it's the business!

Do the pin2dmd ones work? They are reasonably priced here, just got one for the getaway.

Moved it up to the front rotation, these 4 are the ones that are on all day every day. The other ones down the back are only on weekends.

Sides, i have some lollipop rails to go on it and i'm more likely to get a burst of energy if i'm looking at it all day.

It's in good company here. 4 great games, wish the Black Knight was mine but it's a loaner.

Can't see why it get's all the hate, such a great game.

AFM is still getting the most play, finally got the 5 way combo this morning.

pb34 (resized).jpg

So which one is the best for Walking Dead, i have a pro if that matters.

Thanks guys, was looking at the colorDMD site and had seen that lcd was the way to go. If i can find a couple of people who want one here we can get free shipping for any 3 screens, saves about $100au each even after postage here in Australia to distribute.

LCD on it's way, decided i had enough energy to do the rails.

Horrible shooter rod goes next

Never let it be said i don't take good advice.

Having an issue with the install on my pro.

If i put the dmd on the bottom most hole the panel fits back in fine, but the display is too high up to read. if i put it in on the hole above the display shows correctly but the panel will not reinstall as the bracket sits in a recess and the screen is wider and it won't sit down.

Do i have to tune the screen to display differently or something?

Here it's slotted down and won't fit in the machine, but displaying correctly.

pb105 (resized).jpg

Here it's sitting up further and fits in the machine fine but the display is an inch too high.
Assuming i have to change one of the settings in the menu to a different display size or something. The instructions are pretty generalized and a bit sketchy.

FUCK! the fucking store wouldn't let my paypal process for hours and i had to contact Randy, i had the standoffs and brackets in my cart the first time and fucking had to redo the cart and must have missed the fucking things the second time.

What a shit system that sells something you need separately. Like fuck! So now wait weeks again, pay stupid international freight again for something that should have been in the kit as i had to specify the fucking model i wanted. I have three of the stupid fucking things that don't fucking fit now.

This totally sucks.

Edit; I totally suck. Randy told me to have a better than blokes look and i found the shield under the packing in the box.

Totally me and a fantastic product, i worked out how to lower the display on the screen with the menu buttons. will pull it all to bit's again and install the perspex, should i just get some foam to go between the perspex and the display or not worry?

Thanks, so embarrassed about my spray against a fantastic product. It is the best mod i could have made to that machine.

Everything else was in the boxes but those. Is that another additional cheap part that is not automatically in the kit but you need to 'finish it off nicely'?

I bought three of them this time, but i only have one machine that needs one so sold the other two at cost. Worked out over $100au cheaper each with the free shipping. i won't be ordering again for a while i hope as there's no machines i need them for. I wouldn't bother doing Hurricane and i have a pin2dmd color to go in Getaway when it goes to the restorers.

Yeah i had a few problems, including that for some reason my computer won't let me adjust the speaker volume all of a sudden for some reason, so had to really muddle through even though the kind people here were posting links to youtube to help me, i couldn't hear the instructions. It does seem crazy that parts you need are listed seperately, i saw the standoffs and ordered those but have yet so see the seal. Dunno why anyone would NOT want that.

BUT, great product all the same. $700au odd well spent.

Love it, same here bought three spent over a grand, but all i could think of was the $100 i saved by doing so.

Yeah, fuck that, i don't want my game looking like it's spossed to have that screen in there and stopping all the dust from settling on my perspex and LCD.

Couple of dollars worth of parts on a 100's of dollars worth of kit? Throw them in and if people don't want to fit them they can choose not to.

Although i spose i'm guilty of it with my own products in places.

Yeah i put mine in scan to start and never bothered even looking at what the others were like. love it.

Love my Transit Custom. I can put them in without folding the back box down.

Mine always deflects of that post with a slight nudge, same as deadpool. Maybe 1 in 20 doesn't go where it can be saved?

Never played a premium but i like my pro. Played an ACDC premium, but wasn't impressed. i just couldn't get my shots dialed in, it was here for a month on rental too.

First mod = good glass. Spend the dosh on a sheet of invisi/vampire glass.

You'd be full time explaining Rob Zombie then.

yeah, LCD. I couldn't believe how good the animations look after being convinced to get one a few pages back.

Sensational upgrade!

Yeah those little spotlights on a stand is what we use when working on pinballs. Easier than going into menu's too. Just plug that fucker in.

Yeah, adult here.

I must be odd man out. Love the game, hate the show and didn't make it through two episodes back in the day. Don't watch TV at all any more, so unlikely to get into it before the nursing home.

I like the adult callouts better than the original ones or the g rated one. I can see the comment of the callouts not quite fitting at times, but it's less of an annoyance than it is a benefit.

We love the whistle round here and use it day to day as a general sign to hurry the fuck up in whatever you're doing. I heard it well place during someone's telling of a boring story the other day.

Yeah i was talked into it here. I thought 'What's the difference if it's red or colour? Same animations.'

Not the case at all, it's like looking at the shadows of things instead of watching the actual things. Night and day difference and you can see what they are trying to portray rather than just a hint at what they are getting at.

Maybe it was a bonus goal for the factory? Seems a low number.

Sure, just being lighthearted.

One of the players here figured that out and showed everyone else too. seems to woprk a lot more of the time than not doing it, so it's common behavior on mine.

I had an old 61 Corvair rampside up till recently.

Sometimes shit would go wrong with it and you'd pull it to bits, find nothing wrong and put it back together and it would work.

I asked my mate about it and he said that it's a well known fact among car guys that sometimes old cars just need a good hard looking at.

Deja vu. I said dega vu.

That makes me sad.

I was imaging playing with no sound but mech's.

They come with the tilt bob in the coin box.
Or wrapped in foam so as you have to remove the bob to get it off. There's no factory setting, it's operator set.

Buy Houdini then. It's one the same where you can have 20 shit games and then it just all comes together and it's incredible.

Taxi is the same too. Tough game to get a score on as the rules are so linear that you think getting all the characters lit in one ball is impossible, then you do it twice in one ball.

Yeppers. I lit Deadpool up, but have done nothing to TWD as i think it's fine and the playfield light show is fantastic in the modes.

They use coloured gel stuff on deadpool inserts to mod it to look all pretty. Info in the owners thread a couple pages back.

Link? Mines fucked again.

https://www.tanglestech.com/Sub-Woofer_c_16.html

Similar system here for the aussies. You can run three machines off the sub with the mixer.

Do you have to pull it all to bits to do the flipper rubber thing?

I have the alt translight and apron decals on mine too. I like them.

I'd like to powder coat my pro. I kind of like the bone coloured greys on the side and front of the cab. Was thinking that bone looking shaded cream colour. Has anyone seen or done this?

Would love a pic if you have.

DSCF0531[1] (resized).jpg

Well after checking 28 pages of images i know that if anyone has done the colour i'm looking at, they haven't posted it in here.

We harrass people who are caught reading a rule card round here as 'cheats'.

But we harrass them for just about anything.

I have been watching the vid in small sections this morning.

Funny thing is the thing i really wanted to know was how to beat my mate Sean, who seems to know (but won't admit it), at Well Walker.

Problem is it's the first thing he talked about and i've already forgotten it.

IBlameTheBrowniesPunkin

Yeah i meant how the jackpots work.
I half suspected that you had to hit a ramp or orbit and then the WW but i think i'm half right.

that's the one i'll check in a couple days when i've watched as much of 2 hours of video i can stand.

Thank you.

Ha. We use that whistle all the time to tell people to hurry up round here.

Never watched the show, like the cleland code, don't like the NiN tracks, but i do like that people are doing things like that at all.

I can see a switch.......

Thanks for the tips. I have watched as much of that vid as i could to get the gist of it. I'm practising dead bounce as part of my skill training atm anyway, so will keep the drops in mind.

I did know they were important, but had no idea they were the focus of almost the entire game.

Appreciatte you taking the time to point those things out to me, thanks.

Thanks, but i'm a below average player. the only wizard mode i've ever played was Twilight Zone.

I sometimes think it's possible for me to get there on AFM, but i would never get all the achievements in one game.

No JJP support mate.

You can't take the LTG out of LTG.

Little Technical Guru.

I spose if you really get stuck you can read the instructions?

Screenshot 2022-04-02 085202 (resized).jpg

Sorry, that's all i got.

following. How do i get in on the $20 against you? Does it roll at a billion?

He's good, but i dunno about putting money on him being ten times as good as everyone else.

Shame i'll never get to see it....

Yeah, a look wouldn't hurt.

I got talked into putting a colordmd in mine in this thread. It made such a huge difference that now i put them in all the machines i really want to keep. Go the led one too.

Typo mistake I have the LCD, not LED.

Even pinwoofer?

Get off my playfield!

pasted_image (resized).png

I like it.

Sorry, my mistake. I have the LCD on all my colordmd's. I like the smoothing one. I have it on Tron, Judge Dredd and TWD. I have a spare one here that will go in the NBA Fastbreak that a guy here is restoring to sell to me.

I have an led pin2dmd in Indie that was in it when it came. I like the LCD heaps better than the dots.

1% the cost of a new machine. Gotta be one of the cheapest, best value mods out there. People spend more than that putting dolls on their playfield.

Ball baron ones are what i use.

You'd go to jail for having that here.

Just put Precision Halographic flippers in TWD. What a great mod, these things are the business.

twd2 (resized).jpg

No, 5 min job on TWD, the pinch bolts are easy to get too, unlike DP. The bushing comes out with three screws, the new bushing and shaft slip in and three screws back in.
Tighten all up securely then drop the playfield and put the flippers in from the top with the screws holding them down

Lifting playfields for flipper adjustment is a thing of the past and you can now make small incremental adjustments from the top to droop the flippers slightly to hit the drops.

These things are going to be mod of the year. Well deserved for the engineer that's producing them too.

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/review-precision-pinball-products-cnc-flipper-system

They make a very big difference to the perception of game play to me. It's not reflected in scores at this point, but others have said they are noticing particular hard shots are easier (for me it's Gem on Tron), and suggesting their scores are improving.

As to whether they are truly more repeatable accuracy wise, I doubt I'm a good enough player to notice that.

As to whether they enhance my ability to feel and control the ball, i absolutely do feel that is the case.

They work out at a couple hundred $au a set for me in Australia, dunno how many grand greenbacks that is.

Thanks mate, try to say it as i see it.

The cosmetics are one of the main drawcards for me, but i know that everyone see's art and function in different shades. I already had black bats/red rubbers in TWD, they just look better to me.

Consensus, even now from flynibus, is that these things are fantastic in their ability to make people look like better players, and the developer is an engineer who listens to feedback and is still making constant improvements.
People were worried that the bushings would wear because of the shafts and metal on metal (they wouldn't), so John incorporated oilite bushings into the next gen of bushings.

They were worried that the ball could contact the ridge under the rubber at the point of the bat (it could with thin rubbers) so he redesigned the shape of the supporting ridge to eliminate that.

If you'd like to you can. I wouldn't.

Could say the same thing about practice though.

It's on location, yes? And you mean the pricing cards?

I have the comic style and like it much better.

ff15 (resized).jpg

I have the cards too but they faded. Machine doesn't get any real sunshine either.

Gotta know a guy who know's a guy.

Nah, really, someone will send it to you.

What he said. It's the best.

Order the cable as well when you order your pinwoofer and put it out the bottom or back of the cab by pulling a staple or two from the mesh coverings.

There is one other way to reset the high scores. It's the one i always rely on.

I wouldn't rush into it. They don't make as much diff as people say imo, but it's hard to put it back on after you've chopped it up.

Make the game steeper if it seems slow, it should be fast and that may not be the reason.

Yes the Nine Inch Nails one, not my fave.

33d.gif

Read the left score card?

We call it cheating round here....

Nah, tilt forum is my goto if i start learning rules.

HitTheDropsPunkin

Getting drunk and stoned, talking shit and playing pinball. Same as most every other day.

Noticed a thing the other day where i got an award i have never noticed before. Killed 4 walkers in a row on the barn head and it gave me an award i can't remember. Mass Killer or something like that?

Think it was 1 million points.

Remind me what it says when you find it.

I usually can't get 4 head hits in quick succession as the head doesn't always score a hit.

The bash toy, mine doesn't always register a hit, i figured you had to relight it or something.
But the other day i hit it 4 times in quick succession for the prison walker kill thingo's and it gave me an extra award i have never noticed before, it think it was Mass Killer, or something along those lines.
