Quoted from tktlwyr:

...and Doug’s customer service is second to none!
I was looking for something very specific and Doug spent the time discussing my options with me and ultimately found what I wanted.
I placed another order yesterday.

Quoted from Billy16:

Nothing says "road trip" like a good 2-3 mile drive.

Quoted from Mudflaps:

Lighted speaker panels FTW! Just did IMDN to complete the row. [quoted image]

Quoted from PunishersLEMC:

Just got my NIB Iron Maiden pro and love it!
Looking for Mummy Fist side Rails if anyone knows of any it's appreciated [quoted image]

Quoted from greenhorn1:

Can you revert back to old code after installing newer code? I assume the new code will be great, but I think IM is a nearly perfect game as it is and I would hate to update only to find that I liked it better with 1.06.

Quoted from DaddyManD:

Hey guys I haven’t received any responses to my last post and could use some help. The Guardian left ramp diverter on my Premium keeps jamming (sometimes on way up, sometimes on way down). I am worried the coil will fry soon. I have examined the mech closely and done gently bent the metal with pliers a bit to avoid metal on metal friction but the problem persists. any advice? was wondering if some WD40 might do the trick but have never used it in a machine. Thanks!

Quoted from DaddyManD:

The super lube worked like a charm! Smooth as butta! Now need to explain to my wife why I needed to same day rush order something called super lube

Quoted from DaddyManD:

So funny I just traded my JJP GNR for my IMDN Prem!

Quoted from Tranquilize:

Too bad those signatures can't improve gameplay.

Oh snap! Just saw the Egyptian backbone that Lior did!
I see it's sold out but was originally about $1000.
Anyone want to sell? What would this combo go for today?

Quoted from WizardsCastle:

Hitting that super jackpot shot though... Not always the easiest!

Quoted from AWDSOME:

I played pinball in the late 80's and early 90's but then forgot about it for a long time.
In October 2023 I was in Las Vegas with a little bit of time to kill and I stumbled across the Pinball Hall of Fame[quoted image]
The first game I played was an Iron Maiden Pro followed by Metallica, Star Wars and Godzilla.
When I got back from Las Vegas I started playing in a local arcade. After 4 trips to the arcade I wondered if I could rent a machine for my house and ended up renting a Godzilla Premium from Utah Pinball for 2 months (they were great to help me get started into pinball). During this time I discovered Pinside. I decided I wanted to own a NIB machine for my first pin. I started reading this thread in December and just finished every page this week. I knew I wanted an IM NIB before they all disappeared.
This is my gateway pin. [quoted image]
It was delivered on New Years day and I can't get enough of playing it.
I kept is stock for couple of weeks and then added Cliffy's to it right as the metal orbit protector was starting to curl up. Since then I have added a few more mods all for more playing enjoyment. [quoted image]
I'm very impressed with Pin Monks lenses and fan kits. My longer play sessions are much better trying to get soul shards and hitting bombers in Aces High.
Now I need to get better at playing it. My GC score is only 326 million and I need to start learning some more flipper skills as my play it as it comes strategy will only take me so far.
I have Checo's full color Anubis on order, just waiting for it to come in.
Future mods will be some art blades and a full precision flipper kit with Halo flippers.

Quoted from 6point5:

Totally agreed!
I owned one in the past and let it go to make room for something new coming in. Years later, I played at an arcade and it was a reminder of how special the game is.
A few weeks later, I had an LE, and it ain't going anywhere!

Quoted from Sleal16:

Hey guys! Been a while, and I was supposed to have had an update on this about a month ago. This is where I'm at right now on a visual progress. Mechanical and electronic not much to show since its been a little bit of testing here and there.
Walls now have texture. I just painted it gray for now before deciding how much more I need to change. If I use these prototypes for future adjustments, I'll add the black wash, highlights and other weathering to the wall surface. You can see on that second photo my first prototype wall next to the current one. Right now on the immediate docket over the next few weeks:
1. Figure out how/where to get the acrylic windows printed like the normal acrylics found in the games.
2. Add a few more minor cathedral features to elevate the scene look. Things like wall torches, chains, and a couple of other things to visually test.
3. Game integration and lighting effects. I dont feel like learning this kinda from scratch, so gonna lurk around and message folks that have experience with this that would be willing to partner up and do the light show aspect. And its not that I dont want to, but to get the project closer to fruition I'll use this learning experience for future mods and have a deeper dive into the coding aspect later.
In the end, i'll offer both a normal light show static topper and one that the Beast has his head moving. Would be a good opportunity to light up his eyes as well. I did find a good cheap toy that has some mechanical features I'm dissecting to use its head rotation into this one. I'll find out this month. I do have more time now to experiment, so progress should be picking up.
Ok, that was long winded in detail. But also posting here the other slow moving project for the game. It will be a little more than just the backboard. Will stretch out into the ramps. More details later in the spring =)

Quoted from Shivers:

So I'm in for a premium, but is it just me or does the aces high stern topper look out of place on a premium?

Quoted from RikeIsland:

It’s a bad photo but I finally got my Premium figures installed in my pro.
Up the Iron!

Quoted from PBSaltyKracker:

A nice shout out to John Bergeron for this super sweet IM shooter rod!
Well made, great packaging. And didn’t force me into Venmo. I sent him cash, he sent me the mod.
[quoted image]

Quoted from ralphs007:

[quoted image]I normally don't add a lot of mods,but I just had to add The Clairvoyant to my IMDN. It looks really nice and it's well made. I did have to remove the clairvoyant that came with my game when I bought it. I think it would have been too much having two Clairvoyants in the same area.[quoted image]

Quoted from Kkoss24:

That’s Liors set. He’s a very popular artist in pinball modding.

Quoted from Sorokyl:

I do like those instruction cards, but i'd have to remove my wizapron and I dislike the red IC triangle
Does anyone who either did an insider connect upgrade or bought a prem/LE plastics set and willing to part with the right apron plastic from it?
I am a bit confused why they didn't include it with my NIB game. So many extra plastics. I assume this was part of the big sheet those were cut from. I doubt they redesigned the plastics set to omit it?
