We've got the Protector for the new Stern Metallica Pro/Premium/LE done!! This one is perfect! Ready to ship today!! This Protector should work well considering the ball doesn't have a side entry like TRON/X-men. We'd like to thank Stern/Tilt for getting us a game so fast!! For Pinsiders it's $30 shipping anywhere in the USA! $45 ship anywhere in the world. Pay via Paypal: Pinprotection@gmail.com

Modman strikes again!
-
here is another one *%*
a guy added a little character under the playfield so every time he lifted the playfield there was some dirty donny art looking at him
can get the stickers here, ideal for a Metallica Pro
http://www.posterpop.com/categories/Stickers/Dirty-Donny-Stickers/
-
Here are a few ideas, GAP did a pro in a Deep Candy Purple - looks nice
and spied these other images, pretty sure it is photoshopped but the idea is cool if someone wants to run with it, and gives you a rough idea of Chrome on the standard cab without the Metallica logo near the button guards. The double Metallica is probably a bit over down but a cool concept for a machine.
-
Love the chrome look on the Pro.

These are already with USPS on thier way to me ^^^
Will post pics once installed ( few weeks maybe !@# )

For anybody getting a Premium or LE Metallica who is thinking of the scoop hole protector ...
It might pay to wait until the machines are actually released as the protector screws to the underside of the playfield . On the Premium / LE model there is a subway trough that feeds the ball from the coffin lock across to the scoop hole . It might be worth waiting to see where / how the trough mounts in that area first in case it gets in the road of the protector screws etc .

Pinball Life have some nice guitar mods for Metallica. All $25.
http://www.pinballlife.com/index.php?p=catalog&parent=340&pg=1
I like the armor kit they have too, though it would look better in chrome.
-
here are a few pics of some mods, but the grill M is a Metallica LE item
-
Ill wait till my LE arrives to be honest I'm still not even sure what comes with the LE was far to much to read
-
here is another product soon to be available for those that want it, button guards - a bit big and not a mod I would go for but some people might like them - personal taste thing
"(THIS IS THE PROTOTYPE) Just doing some test fits, they fit with no issues. These will go to powder coat in the morning, finished in black same as Stern powder $52 shipped in the USA. Plain stainless $40 so you can trick them yourself. If you want them shipped to your choice of powder coater this isn't a problem. Send payment to pinprotection@gmail.com please add a note Metallica flipper button. Thanks MP"

here are a few mods for those interested from a guy in the states
"Hey Everyone,
I am starting to install some Prototype mods for all Metallica machine. I have added these mods and here are the prices, plus shipping .
Drop the Hammer mod (LE/Prem).... Plug-in for installation. LED flashers inside the ball lock hammer itself, before a coffin multi-ball this lets you know when to strike the anvil and during game play. $35.00
Mystery hole scoop flasher (All Machines).... Plug-in for installation. LED flashers in the mystery hole that ties into the coffin, there are no flashers in the machine for the mystery scoop and this mod will add a cool effect during a coffin multi-ball. $20.00
Snake Flasher (All Machines).... Plug-in for installation. LED flashers directly behind the snake, this complements the snake mod that shine the game light under the snake (All colors are available) $15.00
Apron lens mod (LE/Prem).... Solder-in for installation. LED flashers for the lens an SDTM areas. I install purple LEDs in my machine, otherwise the colors on the playfield get washed out, the purple accents them. $40.00
Current Complete kit package deal will be $95.00 plus shipping.
These will be available soon, if you are interested in them please post on this thread.
Thanks,
Steve

Just wondering if anyone knows a good supplier for under cabinet lighting. have tried pinball life and it doesn't list metallica as compatible with eir kits? any suggestions for purchase options?
-
Just wondering if anyone knows a good supplier for under cabinet lighting. have tried pinball life and it doesn't list metallica as compatible with eir kits? any suggestions for purchase options?
Did you want it to flash or change colour or just select a colour and it stays permanently on. For the last option you could just get something from jaycar and tap in to a power source in the cabinet and you done really cheaply.
-
Yeah just happy for it to be one colour not changing. What are the best options there?
-
here are various options, and there is a jaycar in at Islington and there did have different single coloured leds there as well a few weeks ago
http://search.jaycar.com.au/search?p=Q&srid=S10-AUSYDR02&lbc=jaycar&ts=custom&w=led%20strip%20lighting&uid=566967082&method=and&isort=score&view=list&srt=0
-
Great thanks for that I'll check it out ^^^
-
Dirty Donny is doing a limited batch of 10 x custom Sparky's which I think have already sold out for $500 each so not a cheap one, BUT attached are some photos for anyone that wants to true and replicate his work.
Also you could contact him and beg and you might score one ????
It looks cool ^^^

Back Alley has been working on some custom Metallica Speaker panels for the Met pins to be released at Expo.
below are some images of work in progress, and the pin view is just an artistic impression
-
this guy did a twister mod for WOZ and has done a speaker for Metallica and in the process of doing a skeleton in a coffin for Metallica.

Just ordered the backbox lighting I still think new games need lights and flashers in the BB
Peter
-
I agree, where are you getting the BB lighting from? im seriously considering it. can you post a clip when you install them?
-
Does Pinball Refinery deliver to Australia?
-
Also after a topper for acdc and metalllica.

Well I finally added the magnet board to my Metallica and while the glass was off I added the scared stiff bone flippers and the colored filter for the fuel mode looks way better(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/10/11/yve5yran.jpg)(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/10/11/ahegy7az.jpg)

Looks awesome mate, I'll have to get over one day for another game &&

here is a sticker mod for the Pro over the coffin by a pinsider, though a little pricy at $20:
This comes in three different colors for the fill area. Dark Red, Black , And Dark Green.
Its easy to apply. Just peel and place on the coffin insert in the Met Pro.
The lock lights show through perfectly and now you know how many Balls you have locked by how many red eyes are glowing.
Printed on sturdy clear vinyl and cut to the perfect shape of the coffin.
I made it easy to order by putting it up on my business site.

Peter
How do I get a hold of those flippers? they do look the part.
Yeah swinks the sticker is a cool mod. I have a small video of mine on AA metallica thread. it is a red sticker with coin taler ultra brights underneath. I was not sure how it would look as I don't mind the coffin as is but it does finish off the playfield and looks as tho it should be there.
-
someone should do a bandaged mummy sticker with a crazy dirty donny style face for the coffin sticker, reckon that would look good and suit the coffin.
-
I agree, where are you getting the BB lighting from? im seriously considering it. can you post a clip when you install them?
Backbox LEDs arrived today and Metallica is in and it looks great we should get these from the factory but we don't :-) here's a video :-)

Looks great Pete *%*
-
thanks for the video Peter. looks great... and looks like ill be making another pinball refinery order :)
Cheers

has anyone purchased the metallica pinballs from backalleycreations.com? just wondering about their quality. the eyeball and tallica sux balls look cool.
-
Here's my ACDC backbox lightning now with my vast amount of PF led lighting it makes it hard to see the BB lighting lol but it's more softer than Metallica with blue lighting under acdc and some flashers top left and right behind the spot lights on the BG it's better in person.
http://youtu.be/pcQY3Jd0Edc
-
Great video Peter. Where did you get that mod from? Also just while on your pf lighting, I ve been checking the pinbits site for those lightning bolt flashers and they are sold out. Did you have to wait for them? Obviously they're very popular.
Good job on your backbox.

Backbox lighting is from pinball refinery, just contact Pam at pinball life about the lightning bolt LEDs and she'll put you in line they are popular but I'm sure they will make more best mod ever :-)

a limited run of Matt McKee toppers
utoplay=1&rel=0
-
That topper is god awful!!! Worst thing I've seen for this pin by a fair way.
-
on the iamdarras pics for the neon slingshots it looks like hes using UV on the gi. hes got it looking great. ive tried UV's from cointaker but didn't get that effect. they didn't really seem to work at all. I used super brights. not sure what ive done wrong.
might order those ss plastics and see what happens.

Just added a "Metallica Master of Puppets Gravestone"
http://www.shapeways.com/model/1537633/metallica-pinball-master-of-puppets-gravestone.html?li=search-results&materialId=6
which you could try mounting near the drops on top of the plastics or at the back near the top in lanes or be creative to place them elsewhere
you can purchase directly from Shapeways USA.
flat white - $9.95
gloss white - $10.95
or I can print for $10.75 though will be slightly pitted white, not glossy.
It measures 40mm wide x 52mm high x 12mm deep and is hollow at the back to reduce the weight and manufacturing cost but you could also try to add lighting in there as well.
It has been print tested and has come up well, waiting for the camera to charge to take a photo.
-
Mate I'd be interested in getting one off you. I have an idea for one up the back near the left ramp.
Cheers

here is a photo of the gravestone

Awesome Jady
Put me down for one with the bell mod. if you want when I get my acdc, come over and take some pics of the grave marker mod on my metallica if you like on different parts of the playfield.
:)

I have refined the Metallica Cross to have that gentle curve from the crosses tips to the main post very typical of the Military Gravestones found in the US and Europe.
It is
$10 for one
$20 for two
$27 for three
Postage is
$8 within Aus up to 400g worth of product.
and you can always take advantage and team up with mates and get a few things or look at a AC/DC Bell Block etc and get a saving in postage etc.
Sorry again photos in the Creature but lacking access to a machine close by.
-
a few photos in the correct pin
-
went to a members place and was nicely surprised by the crosses installed on the ramps - I liked it - sort of completed a vertical emptiness at the back.
John said at night time the glow from the playfield backboard gave a cool glow to the crosses.
-
here is a affordable and effective simple mod - snake tongue sticker - $5

Installed some green fluro sling and inlane plastic protectors the other day, thanks GAP. :)
The photos don't really do the effect justice as it looks way better in person.
The whole area around the apron and slings is a lot brighter.
Highly recommended mod.

a Sydney guy on pinside also does modified colour GI kits as well, a few hundred and lots of people also custom paint sparky and Dirty Donny every now and then does a batch of custom painted sparky's so check out his website or even better send him a email.
