Quoted from gumnut01:My first LE![quoted image]
That is gorgeous. Is that topper factory. Love the plane theme.
I just got a modded out premium today. Can u post a picture of your playfield?
Elwin hit a homerun here. Addictive. Fast and deep. Those upper loops are amazing when u hit them.
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]
The color choice on your post rubbers is nice. I will copy them.
That topper looks cool. Wish I could find one!
I also just order a full playfield protector. I will post pictures of the installation.
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.
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.
This is exactly what mine did! The post unscrewed then got hung up. Still not perfect. Some hits don't register. The leaf springs spacing needs to be perfect.
Next I am adding insider connect to the coin door.

And so it begins. Installing another playfield protector. I did one on my Godzilla Pro and Deadpool. I love how they protect the playfield and how smooth they are. Super durable. No more dimples. No more wax.
First time doing this on IM premium. I enjoy the process. I'll post a video on the install.
Quoted from pinballaddicted:Is is ok if you do not like playfield protectors. Putting shit on people that do like them is a dick move.
Agreed. It is protecting a very expensive investment. Stern playfields look like shit after a few years of play. Like a golf ball. Plus no need to wax. The quality of the playfield protector is excellent and so is the gameplay.
I find it odd, that people pay thousands for mods and toppers and dont protect the heart of the machine. I also mylar the shooter lane with a 50 cent slingshot half moon mylar.
Quoted from PinMonk:This is not a correct statement. It's the equivalent of pinstadium's artificially dark "before" photos.
The fact is, playfields quickly getting crater dimples is sometimes true, sometimes not. It's the Stern playfield lottery. I had ones on route that looked GREAT after years of use. But they were cleaned and waxed regularly. Others looked pretty crappy after a couple weeks. It comes down to who made the playfield. Stern used multiple vendors. Different runs of the same game can look completely different after some time being played due to different playfield vendors.
All that said, would I ever put a protector on? Nope. But I've taken plenty off. However, I'm not going to tell you or anyone else what to do with their machine. It's YOUR machine. Do what you want with it.
Finished installing it. Can't even tell it's there. I'm all about saving these machines for future generations.
My Avengers Aiq has over 2400 plays and not a single dimple. It's like new. I see no negatives. I use a little Orange Glo furniture polish or pledge for fine scratches.
Now to play the hell out it.

I can bend the ramp back in but trying to find another solution first.

Mine did this exact thing tonight. Ball search frees it up. Stern should have clipped that corner off.
