Quoted from Walk:

Anybody know where I can get a premium translite for my pro? Can dealers order them direct from Stern?

Part distributors have them in stock, at least marco seems like they do. Other places might get them later once Stern has done these next few pro/prem runs this summer

Xianek.eu has Iron Maiden premium backglass, he’s the dude who did the color changing Munsters backglass. I’m just about to order a Metallica premium backglass from him.

I’m back in the club boys! I went with a pro this time for the price.

Doesn't look like FEDEX Freight is going to make their 10am to 3pm window at this point. 5 minutes til its free. Oh wait that's Pizza delivery in the 80s.

And she’s here! Quick question. Those lights on the backboard of the playfield are killing my visibility of the upper playfield. Is there a setting for that? Have folks changed bulb colors?

No clue. I humbly suggest Pin Stadium Neo Atoms (and Voodoo glass). That combo is incredible on my IM premium. All my games have some version, but the Atoms are remarkable.

There's a setting that dims the LCD screen because it can cause glare but I've never had an issue with the backboard lights. In fact most of us who did the Lior backboard mod found that removing the lights from the backboard makes the glare from the LCD screen really get in the way of seeing the back playfield.

Any idea on if the Premium translite is any better as far as light glare?

is it the translite or backboard lighting thats causing glare? I did have issues with the this game's (premium) light from the translite causing some bad glare. There is a setting that during gameplay it'll dim to set %

#13113 9 months ago

Yeah you gotta dim the translite during gameplay. Do that on all games. Spike2 can have a gameplay setting then brighten back for attract.

Meanwhile... impatiently awaiting my Prem.

Ah shit I was thinking backboard = the back of the playfield where the pharaoh is. If you mean the glare is coming from the backglass then there's a setting to dim that during play in the features too. That was a big problem for me too until I found that setting.

My initial thinking was that it was the bulbs on the playfield backboard. But it turns out it’s 100% the translite. I dimmed it to 10%. I’ve not had to do this with any other games.

Probably the way the playfield lighting counteracts with the exterior. More dispersed would reduce glare and this specific game might not have enough to do so. Even with the anti glare glass the back box lighting still becomes overpowering. This would also be why lighting like from the pinstadium has such positive results.

Ha this just showed up from EU a week or two before my pin, just wanted to take a peek at it.

Still skeptical if this speaker panel will affect sound. I have peasant ears so it's hard for me to say so far.

I just received the invoice for my IMDN Premium so hopefully I'll be picking it up soon. Can someone please tell me if it comes from the factory with a shaker and/or HD glass? If not I want to order these items before the pin gets home. Any recommendations for art blades? Pretty excited to be getting this pin - I missed it the first time around when I was offered the chance to pickup a Deapool LE.

#13121 9 months ago

No shaker or HD glass included

I went with mirror blades as I wasn’t t too impressed with the art blade options. Been stockpiling various mods in high anticipation for my new premium as well.

Prems come after Pros. Some dealers get a little trigger happy on invoicing, but I would not be suprised if Premiums are indeed on the line right now.

If you're not going to put Pin Stadiums on it, the Pin Graffix PowerBladez for IMDN are awesome. And seem easy to install

#13125 9 months ago

I’m getting the Atom Fusions for our prem .Liors backboard is killer but it’s so dark with the backboard lighting taken out .Was thinking of drilling them out or putting a few strips up but I seen the AF’s in person and it really enhances everything .This is my favorite art package of all so what the hell .Just have to wait to get this side job I’m on done to get my cut lmao .I’ve tried to get ahold of this modder to either make this explosion for me or to give me advice what to do . I have not heard back so does anyone have any thoughts ? I’m thinking mount some lights in cotton , spray with an adhesive , then lightly spray paint .I’m pretty sure now how to find a circuit with room in it but I have someone to help me with that until I get my feet wet .Lmk if any advice I want to start Sunday

#13127 9 months ago

Then I have to wrap this project up .Enough is enough haha .Looks great and after installing new flipper parts it shoots lije it’s birthday .

#13128 9 months ago

Side note , if anyone is going to powder they’re ramps on any game do not do the flap at entry .I wish I would’ve left that bare metal as I had air balls off it and had to tighten them down pretty good .it’s better , but still may replace them I’ll see in a week on that .

#13129 9 months ago

Mine with Atom Neos and the Lior backboard (and his Oracle, of course). With the shaker and all the lights going off it's a real 3D experience. Pin Woofers were added and that makes the music and callouts 5X better than before I added it.

There's no lack of light in this baby - even on the backboard!

Voodoo glass is a must.

[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Do what liior suggests and get the 50 SMD matrix light strip from comet pinball. You can mount it just under the black trim above the backboard and if you order a dimmer along with it you can get it just to the right brightness. It helps a lot. I'd suggest a warm white or some gels to go over it since cool white doesn't really mix well with the rest of the colors.

#13131 9 months ago

Finally in the club! Sadly, I am leaving town for a few days so I can’t setup it up till next weekend.

All tiers of IMDN art are incredible .If I had the cash I would own all 3 .

#13134 9 months ago

It’s really surprising the modding community seemed to stay away from this pin for some time . Gouveia’s Gus adding an actual bash toy got the ball rollin .To me it’s still the top mod ever made as I don’t think any other mod has done something like that .

#13135 9 months ago

Gus is remarkable. The craftsmanship and fun it adds is worth every not insignificant dollar it costs.

I'd give anything to find that lifesize version of it that he has a picture of one the band members standing next to. That would look awesome in my pin room. No room for it, but I don't care .

Here it is: Post #4

It's Cheko / Sleal16

I have Aces High but I would consider replacing it with this stained glass topper. It's off to a nice start and should look fantastic when he's finished.

Thank you , yes it’s looking real cool .Different from everything else on the game .

#13141 9 months ago

I hope he gets it to all the way thru to production at a decent price point. I’ve already called Dibs on one for sure.

Never used.

Picked up my pro yesterday from the Fedex hub to save myself a week of waiting! Already installed most of the mods I’d been gathering while I waited. Speaker kit and sub make such a huge difference, as I’m sure has already been talked about here. Orange plastic protectors and flipper rubbers, flipper decals, light up flipper buttons, and Cliffy’s so far…Absolutely awesome game.

Good luck! So nice to finally have one. I’ve been a fan since I bought Powerslave when it came out in 6th grade lol…damn I’m old. The JP next to it in my pic was bought because my wife thought my kids were too young at the time for IM . She was probably right. I had a Funhouse back when my oldest was little and it freaked him out, so I sold it and still regret that to this day…This one is definitely bolted along with my Wonka.
Love your avatar btw. Such an under-appreciated movie imo

Quoted from Who-Dey:

Go to the Game adjustments #33 and change the setting from 5% to 25% and you should get the animation of Keith Elwin 25% of the time.[quoted image]

Damn, I remember seeing Keith jogging around the screen when I played this game at Pincinnati a couple years ago. Being a new owner for a few weeks I don’t recall ever seeing that in my game. So came to the club thread to see if anyone else has asked. Noticed the sticky by Who-Dey, crazy small world.

He made me really want this game years ago, and is a big reason I eventually searched one out. RIP my friend, I’m really enjoying this game.

Anyways , this game is fucking epic.

P.S. - the updated code has this as setting 31, not 33.

#13150 9 months ago

Bought these from Maiden’s website on clearance back when I ordered the game. Just installed and added a light strip around Somewhere In Time Eddie. Really like the way it turned out. Pic looks pretty cool but doesn’t do it justice. Maybe I’ll snap one with the glass off next time.
