Overall this turned out to be a decent game of Whirlwind. Not a high score because of a few stupid bobbles, but a very fun attempt, anyway! Will the Mega Door Bonus be achieved? ....

Set it to 1080p!

Yeah, it seems like the shot is much smoother on this Whirlwind than my first. I did replace all of the ramps with new ones when I shopped it out, and tweaked the metal guide above the 3rd flipper to make sure it rolls past the flipper smoothly.

It is a custom setup that has been constantly evolving. Right now, it is a combination of Cointaker frosted and 2 leds for the GI, 2led premiums for the inserts, super white flashers for the lightning and spinner/pop center flashers, and incandescent flashers under the red domes, red and yellow inserts, and incandescents in the pop bumpers. I also added two sockets behind the lightning panel and installed two flex blue supers to light up the back of the playfield. It blends well with the cool white GI that is in the lightning panel.

Thanks! That was actually a FUN game of Whirlwind. I am glad it happened while I was filming.

First thing I did was polish the metal pieces on each side of the spinner with Mothers until all of the tarnish was gone. Then I put a drop of WD-40 on a qtip and dabbed it on the friction points. I follow up with the dry end of the qtip to soak up any excess so there is no splatter when the spinner goes to town. Yes... WD-40. Some people go crazy when they hear WD-40 and pinball in the same sentence... the difference is that I constantly maintain my spinners (re-polish with mothers and re-apply WD-40 every few games, so there is never any buildup of grime whatsoever, never...ever). Hey, I just go with what I know works well.

Don't know if this one is ever leaving! Whirlwind is one of my all-time favorite pins.
