Looking at getting an IJ. What are the best, coolest, must have mods for it?
Thanks.
Working propeller on the middle plane is a must. Mine came with it , i am not sure where to find one.
Good one. Thanks. I'm pretty sold on the inside sideboard decals too. How about any of those from pinballdecals.com like the boulder mod, blimp, etc.? Also, anything for a topper?
I think the idol light mod rocks.
I have a minecart and jackpot mod too, but visually no match for the idol lights.
Like those side decals as well, im considering buying this kit
ebay.com link: Indiana Jones Pinball Inner Cab Backboard Decal Set Mod
I bought the idol lights from this guy,
ebay.com link: Indiana Jones Pinball Ruin Idol Light Mod Kit
You might have to fiddle with the ruins a bit to minimize the gap between the ruins and the cabinet to minimize light leaks there. I had to.
Here a pic showing the minecart , jackpot and idol mod.

The jackpot mod you can easily build yourself btw.
I see all these expensive boards.

If you use the menu in the upper right and select indiana jones you have some instructions in Swedish has some helpful pics.
Cant make a direct link somehow..
All you need is 2x molex connectors, 3x diode, 3 xlampholder,lights and some wire.
Quoted from elZilcho:I bought the idol lights from this guy,
Ebay link
I have bought MULTIPLE mods from Andy (Dreads), he is a stand up guy and does good work. I have the:
Idol ruins light mod (great), mine cart mod (decent), the Arc mod (must have), the Tank mod (pretty cool), the Active Rolling Boulder Mod (not worth it), the Snake and Jewelled monkey mod (bling but does nothing), The Nazi Blimp (cool but over priced), hidden plastic (buy/make a kit to light it up), The Propeller Mod (bought from a guy on RGP), The Indy figure holding up a Crystal Skull?? I know it doesn't really fit this pin but the colour changing "skull" really brighten's up the game in a positive way). I also have the jackpot light mod but have not installed it because I am hesitant to cut my speaker panel....
If you need any pics...let me know. If you follow Andy's ebay link, he has videos of all his mods in action.
Good Luck!!!
PS...I just bought Gold Mirror blades to install....I think they will look great on this game!!
I've had my IJ for ages. I plan to do a full restore soon and the gold trim will be top of my list of things to do... along with my own gold mirror blades as well.
The other mods I have include:
-jackpot lights
-led strip to light up the lost plastic
-idol/ruins led lighting
-light-up ark on right ramp
-mini figures on slingshot plastics
-I'm getting high realism motorized planes (both)
And I also found these rare toys that were COMICON giveaways by gentle giant. They include super detailed miniatures of the Crystal skull, Sankara Stones, Fertility idol and the chalice/holy grail.
Lets see if I can post pics from my phone
A couple more pics of the gentle giant mini toys and the micro figurines.
You can see the die-cast fertility idol and micro figures on the first shot. The other slingshot has Marion and a German soldier with gun. I got this idea from seeing a few of Allen's restores from Treasure Cove.
The second pic shows the Sankara stones. The detail in these little toys is awesome... especially the skull!
Kinda a mod-
I lowered the left ramp slightly so you can actually see the bridge(this took a little work). I also added three 555 leds mounted to the top of the back board above the bridge(this was very easy).
Quoted from Indypin:The mine cart is really cool, but the toys is kinda "plasticky". I personally like the ark mod over the ramp with the 2 LED lights in front. I put a snake near the Paths of Adventure, along with an Indiana Jones figure holding the idol near the bottom. Here's some pics.....
Those toys are nicely detailed, but I can't condone putting a crystal skull on a WMS IJ.
