Quoted from sohchx:In case anyone needs plastics......

Quoted from tommyp:I emailed asking. All trilogy orders were held due to a delay in the backglasses i guess. Backglasses are done, and whatever PF (in my case gold) you should have was pulled and set aside i was told. They're supposed to start shipping trilogy orders when they're back from their break.
Hopefully the back glasses are nicer this time around. I wasn't thrilled with the colors on the first one I got, the translite actually looked nicer installed.
Quoted from mbaumle:Oh, and for good measure, here's my recently restored playfield. Shoot again is the same shade of orange. Also, note the difference in color shades from the CPR.
Who did your restoration? Thinking I may go that route instead of new.
Quoted from Axl:What is the correct part number for the spring? I got 10-148-1 but it is to wak to make the full travel.
Should I go as high as the red spring?
Edit: according to the Williams red catalogue it should be the right one. Maybe I have assembled it wrong? It has no power.
Anyone got a good picture on how to assemble it right?
Make sure your shooter rod is the correct length as well, a few of my new Stern games were too short, ball wasn't resting on the plunger before you shot the ball, it was in front of the rod a bit. So the shooter rod would have to go past center before it hit the ball, making it much more weak.
Quoted from nerdygrrl:I've been thinking of swapping out the yellow pops and red flasher domes with blue. I hate the way the red flashers look and thought it might be nice to try and incorporate some more blue on the PF. I really dug the Blue Moon BSD. I wouldn't go crazy with blue LED's, but just a few plastic changes. The yellow gives it a nice contrast, so I am a little hesitant that going blue may just mute everything. I would to hear everyone's thoughts.
I have really liked installing these pop caps over the stock williams ones. Using the Sega/Data east caps.
Quoted from zene10:The Mirco Whirlwind playfield arrived today.
I'll admit a rookie mistake - I got rid of the old playfield without tracing it out for a template. Ouch.
But, my playfield served as the layout model (physical, not graphics) for Mirco's production so I'm hoping everything fits perfectly when I get around to putting back together.
I'm hoping I can have it ready for TPF again this year but I'm not sure if it's going to be done in time.
Regardless, here's a look at the Mirco Whirlwind playfield

Is it dimpled?
Quoted from fossmin:I bought a set of new ramps from Starship Fantasies. Where does this sticker go? Neither of my old ramps has this sticker on it.
Thanks
