Quoted from djreddog:Absolutely did. She requested 3 machines, Aerosmith (which she got NIB), White Water, and Attack From Mars. 2 of the 3 have been delivered. AFM will be another year or so before I try and grab one. She loves pinball, hell she even requested 2 machines be put in our kitchen!
She's a keeper!! (but still do a pre-nup)...
Quoted from wamonkey:bad waterfall decal
Bubbles in the waterfall (or rocks)... Any fix for this?
Finally joined the club! Grail pin for me! Playfield is near perfect, cabinet a bit scuffed with some fade, but not terrible. Of course, it played perfectly at the guy’s house, but after transporting it 500 miles, it acted goofy when I fired it up. Random mine switch firing, whirlpool switch not firing, etc. Reseated all the plugs, chips, etc., which seemed to resolve it, but then something shorted and burned the J115 connector and blew a fuse, so I lost slings and pops. A little more complicated than my current skills can resolve, I had a tech come out to fix it, and he’s got the board out for repair. Can’t wait to play this thing!!
Quoted from jawjaw:All boulders lit with warm white light strips and bulbs. Happy to share how I did that if anyone interested. A lot of work went into just trying to get everything to fit right.
LOVE the lit boulders!! Details? This pin is one of the darkest I’ve ever seen. I had a OCD set to put in my STTNG, but I may redirect it to WH20. It’s desperate for some light.
Let the modding begin!
Quoted from jawjaw:Congrats! Short problems suck but could be an easy fix. Look for a bare wire or the ends of a socket/coil touching metal. Coils can sometimes rotate a bit and the lugs end up touching something.
I put OCD boards in mine. Not sure it needs the OCD GI board but might as well if getting the one for inserts. Lighting all the boulders was not easy. I used mostly warm white light strips from Comet. Two 20smd light strips in the rear and another 20smd in the right boulder. For the left, I used a 20smd and 10smd. For the bigfoot cave, I used a wedge socket with a 2 head flex warm white bulb. Comet's Matrix connectors made everything easy to connect with no soldering.
To mount, I used brass strips from Hobby Lobby. They are easy to cut to size and easy to bend. I drilled a hole on one end and used existing holes to mount them. I bent them to get the best distribution of light. I also used some black construction paper in the back to help block some of the light bleeding down.

Awesome! Any pics before plastic re-install?
Quoted from Davi:Whirlpool light board is very simple...
Order some new socket, and replace the wrong ones with a help of solder sucker.
