Complete LOTR "One Ring Edition" translated as "lets waste money and don't tell the wife edition" fitting lots of parts, mods, rubbers, and cleaning
- Thread starter cmrl9
- Start date
The original pinball refinery path of the dead mod
A custom shooter plate
A full set of original NOS plastics, difficult to get
A full set of @Colywobbles plastic protector
A new colour dmd plastic screen with a dark tint
And a ring light mod
A big huge thank you to @Colywobbles for making the plastics and having some sort of magic trunk that contained some bits I was after

That’s a nightmare, I feel for you Chris.
Sean at pinball displays sells rotten dog boards.
Rather than shipping from the states.

Not in stock. I also need a coil, that was fried.
Who knows with the post office, Ive filled out a claim, they want invoice evidence which for this part is difficult. I sent basket for pinball life in the US who have a rottedog in stock and will ship to the UK. The couple of Euro distrutors won't ship to UK since brexit. There one who would but it more than the US! (including shipping, tax and VAT)
Found a board today, a big thank you to pinball heaven for sourcing one and @myPinballs for agreeing to check it and make it compatible with LOTR.
Hoepfully now only a couple of weeks at worst before I can finaly switch it on!
Still have a load of bits to fit, but these are mods and plastic protectors..... to do now or later, mods def not until everything is fully tested and working, plastic protectors.... can I be bothered to take the thing apart again to get at the plastics that didn't have it!

You can get your pinball fix on sunday at the meet 
I feel for you.. FedEX just lost 50 PCBs for me from Italy. I am absolutely gutted also.
Where did you get that path of the dead mod from?
Yes looking forward to it, at least I can stop boring the wife with shiny ball talkYou can get your pinball fix on sunday at the meet
Thanks, it's been anoying and inconvenient, wow your loss is a million times worse, what courier and post office fail to understand the value isn't the issue it's the existence and obtainabilty.
That's the million dollar question
@Colywobbles magic trunk. He kindly sold some spares and parts he had kept from his old machine. It is probably one of the mods that I would say is impossible to get, unless someone has one they no longer want.
That is gutting, i'm still ****ed off with Fed EX/TNT for dropping my NOS CRT monitor, then reboxing it and pretending they didnt!!! ****ing C NUTS

The loop diverter working perfectly, it open and closes, however when you get the war of the ents mode and the diverter gate is permantely open it makes a noise. It stays open, just load brrrrrrr and closes correctly. Any ideas what it could be?
It also seems to bounce when hit during play,
I will try and take a video of it tommorow.
I'm guessing the gate might not have been set quite right or is the coil too powerful, its a new one?

What’s this? And do I need some?
*lol* its a typo should say coil, still have a touch of covid!What’s this? And do I need some?
if you have a colour DMD @Colywobbles Tinted acrylic is a must. Makes a massive difference. In fact so much so I was surprised. A million times better than the boy racer tints that I took off.
First time I got to see it working on the game and must say "wow"

Adjust the switch gap, its probably out of adjustment and too close, so closes with vibration form other things
