    DIY Enterprise topper for STLE

    LOTR modest Mod - protecting them, er nuts right orbit

    After 11 days of having my LOTR LE I noticed how the ball would hit the nuts and bolts jutting out on the left hand side of the right orbit. So I made a cliffy, since Cliff doesn't have one: First I installed my home-made cliffy to the nut and bolt and bent it back to protect the nut. Then...

    LOTR LE Shaker Motor install snag

    They did!! In regards to Menaces question about how I like the shaker, this one is a bit "clunky." Ive installed on on a SM and have one on my STLE, both sound smooth if you know what I mean. This one, ordered through Pinball Life, is noisy on the longer shakes. Has anyone run into that?

    #7 Stern Lord of the Rings

    It does not, but when I got mine, most all the balls went to the number 2 lane because the path of the dead area leaned to the right on my pin - as the area is not supported. So, I supported it, slightly lifted it and now it is leveled. If you have the same problem, we can discuss...

    FS "Not Mine" Pinball Machines For Sale

    One of the main reason's that Im drawn to pinball, and I'd assume most all of us, is the fact that it is a physical game. It's a real steel ball that is affected by gravity and physics - the ball can move in an unpredictable way that a videogame can't replicate. And if the ball moves in an...
