topper WIP update. this rough draft puts us at about.....30%? ish. Theres a huge chunk of stuff on my list we need to slowly add and figure out. These stained glass windows will light up along with the cards in the game. Maybe first working prototype sometime in the summer.
Clairvoyant is needing an extra week or two before officially offering it. Instead of rotating the existing RGB PCB board to shoot up into the ball, I'm fitting in its own light in order to maintain the spotlight underneath. Just got in a few different lights I'll be testing this weekend.
Once kiddo starts daycare in a couple of days and gain some time during the day again, I'll sort my stuff further and make that thread to not spam here updates =)

Doodled some stuff but still mulling over placements and poses. might be a few months =/[quoted image]

So the ball hang up spot between the sarcophagus and centre ramp, are people making their own or buying the mezel mods one. Just postage to Australia sucks now.

Quoted from PinMonk:

I just used a piece of scrap petg I had around, cut it into a triangular sliver that fit the area, ordered standoffs and made my own

Quoted from Sutol:

I've been having the same issue and got in touch with gouveia who pointed me to your post from 3 yrs ago vic. Can't believe I never saw it back then.
I got some acrylic laser cut and sent it over to Steve who had the idea of countersinking the screws but keeping the hex post the same height. The ball just rolls right over it now. Works and looks perfect.
This is how it turned out. It's blue due to the protective film still on the acrylic.
If anyone is interested just send me a pm. I'll supply posts, screws ect with it also.

Quoted from gumnut01:

Sorry for late reply!
I actually was after a premium. Not a LE guy at all. And I really like the back glass of the premium.
That being said, wasn’t sure if I could get a new premium anymore. And the used premium price is up there. The cab art on the LE is awesome, for that alone I am happy I paid more for the LE.
The spitfire theme is the art for the LE which also includes the mirrored backglass. The topper is the aces high topper which is fairly cool but not as cool as the Elvira topper for the same price. It does round off the package nicely.
My playfield just came with a few mods, the best being the sarcophagus mod.
Picture as requested. [quoted image]

Nice! that he's a fan as well. Our kiddo is just a couple of months old right now but I dream and wish when he gets older he shares the same taste in music as me. At least appreciate the music over the decades.

Quoted from Anony:

This one is pretty good.

This one is a ltitle slow but you can probably pick up some tips from it.
There's also the loop strategy which needs no video. You just hit the loop from the upper right flipper as many times as you can. If you can hit it 40+ times in a game you will get big bonuses and score really well. It's enough to get a good score without doing anything else, it's just really hard for us mere mortals.

Quoted from Av8:

Bowens Videos are amazing! I see that I need to go for the 5 triangle objectives to get Cyborg MB. He recommends not flipping for the upper loop even though its really fun shot.

Quoted from CaptainNeo:

ive had the captive balls, actually extend beyond the spoon and get hung up on the outside edge. So I cleaned everything extensively. used a little bit of teflon, on the spoon. and adjusted the spoon assembly, so it's perfectly center when neutral. Havn't had any hangups since.

Quoted from CaptainNeo:

that print would have to be perfectly smooth. any rough part, and it will hang up.

Quoted from Tuna_Delight:

Keith Elwin goes for the loop shot a lot when he plays.
Of course ... he's Keith Elwin though.

Quoted from CaptainNeo:

you don't need a ridge around the spoon. Just a slightly bigger diameter spoon. It just barely goes off the edge.. if it was 1/16" bigger, it wouldn't be able to .

Quoted from pinballjah:

Some new flipper button protectors I am making for IM. Made from black plexiglass, very easy install, just remove the lock down bar. Installed with two screws.
PM if interested. Thanks.

Quoted from JonCBrand:

I'd be interested if they didn't require screws through cabinet art, is it possible to retain then with a thin double sided tape.

Quoted from Av8:

And so it begins. Installing another playfield protector. I did one on my Godzilla Pro and Deadpool. I love how the protect the playfield and how smooth they are. Super durable. No more dimples.
First time doing this on IM premium. I enjoy the process. I'll post a video on the install.

Quoted from Darkfader:

I just released a video for the ultimate mod for your Iron Maiden Pinball machine! cruise on over and check it out!

Quoted from CaptainNeo:

I love the looks of this, but I don't like that you lose all the lighting from the entire back panel. Darkens up the back of the machine a lot. At first I was excited about it. The more I looked at it, the more I didn't like losing all the lighting. At $400 I might be in and do some specific ambient flood light mod attachments. But for $700-800. I'm out.

Quoted from javagrind888:

This was my only problem with the Pirates mod. I don't like things that block out the lighting and light shows.
