  • Volume Control for WPC 95 Pins

    For changing the Volume of a pinball you always have to open the coindoor.
    And mostly you have the key in the coindoor.
    I find a solution to move the switches outsite of the coindoor.
    So you can remove the key and it looks better.
    I connected the volume + and volume – parallel to the switches inside of the coindoor.
    But they don’t work without opening the door.
    So I have to put a „coin-open“ switch outsite too. Its the green one.
    To change the volume you have to press the green once and then you can change the volume via the two red and black switches as usual.

    Here the first pics

  • Treasure Chest LED Mod for Tales of the Arabian Night

    Here you can see my little treasure Project. It will be realized in a pin like Tales of Arabian Night.

    I have put some RGB changing Leds into the chest and some holes into the treasure area.

    And I have put some glasfibre into the holes to make the effect more viewable…

    Look here some pics and a video

  • Magic Rabbit Set for Theatre of Magic Pinball

    After the candlelight mod for the Magic Trunk it seems to insert some new pets into Theatre of Magic Pinball. As there a many rabbits on the playfield I decide to take two and make replaces the eyes with 3mm power Leds in red, because there are dangerous rabbits on the playfield.
    This time it was tricky to make the holes for it because this rabbit is tiny around 5cm long.

    I done the holes like a Y 3mm for the eyes and from the back to the head around 3-5mm

    It works good if you use a 1,5mm at the eyes to get a fix for the bigger hole

    So up some plastics to connect the Rabbits to the slingshots.

    For this I have used clear plastics and put them over the originals to prevent damage and to make the mod removeable without a trace

    The next step after making the replacement of the Archer in MM was to replace the the arrowhead of the archer.
