swinks:
Thought may as well inform people of some mod ideas.

First one is a cheapie from Canada and you will have to contact Bob via pinside.

It is good cheap one for the coin door - Ecto 1 License plate art magnet.
Cost $10 USD which includes postage to anywhere in the world making it a nice little affordable mod

Or someone in your area could buy a few and share around your mates.

next up is one of mine is a Slimer Topper - 7" Ikon brand.

the slimer statute is a really nicely painted resin sculpture which has a bobble wobble feature above the ghost trap.

so head to your local store and grab one for under $60 AUD and they also have a similar Stay Puft version. Then if you want to light it up you can use a custom base I designed that can be screwed down or double sided taped down. Then install some led strips and hook up to a feature or to a GI feature to have on constantly. My apologies about the base cost as not the cheapest but roughly 120 diameter and Shapeways charges on area and space it uses in their printers. The slimer base simple drops into the shapeways part so it can't slide off the top of the backbox. The base also allows you to install led strip (making it hidden from peoples view to add a glow to the sculpture that you can hook up to GI and / or a feature. I plan to have purple connected to GI and Green to a slimer feature on mine. It also has a small section for the wiring to exit cleanly out the back.

Then when you need to fold the backbox down simply lift slimer out of the retaining base and the base stays in place on top of the backbox.

I can't confirm if the Stay Puft fits into the base but could tweak the design and make a different one available if needed.

if you want to hook up powered mods here is a safe way to avoid hacks to boards etc, which I am sure will suit GB as well

I am working on some custom flipper bats that have a benefit of quick release from the top of the playfield so you could go for Ghostbusters PKE flipper bats to regular 3" to 2 7/8" bats to extended 3 1/8" bats to close up the gap as Trudeau likes to have a wider than standard flipper gap of 7 1/8" between flipper posts. These are still in testing and will report back here when available. The GB ones will have an option of fake bulb set as well as possibly leds as the posts are hollow.

swinks:
an aussie roughed up a sketch of white powder coated trim to the premium for a LE look just to give people ideas.
