Ya , not bad  .
I would rather AC(lightening bolt)DC in lights , won't be long before someone does it ,

+1  how much is that guy charging?
Wonder if he supplies Pinballlife.com???

I think he does supply because his CFTBL toppers are exactly the same - his facebook page has photos of all sorts of toppers.

I agree with you ANT keep it simple and it would look better - ball coming out of the cannons and its path is a little average.

Hi guys,
In the process of making my own AC/DC topper with printed vinyl and hand cut perspex. Will post images when I'm done. Gathered high quality images from around the next and putting it all together in Photoshop.

Cheers!
Adam.

I still owe Blair an Atari Superman topper, so better get that project finished first. Men can do two things at once right?

Now, if only some bright spark can add a monitor with AC/DC footage to the playfield. Something like the Twilight Zone tv mod.

Texas Pinball show is on right now .
On JJP private forum there is discussion on the ACDC pinball .

Jack just posted these comment .And I  pretty sure I know who had 2 & 3 .

Speaking of acdc
This is posted on the Texas Pinball Festival site:
They’re here! We have 2 incredible AC/DC Back in Black and 2 awesome
AC/DC Let There be Rock Limited Edition pinball machines (numbers 2
and 3 of each edition!) sitting on the ballroom floor right now! And
this is your chance to play them. You won’t find them anywhere else
in the country. Only here!
So.......show organizers have been told this was a "mistake" and that
George Gomez himself will be here later today to swap out the number
plaques........the games were purchased at full price from a Stern
distributor......any thoughts what the owners of the games here should
do or say? They are very upset and asked me for advice. I said to tell
Gary that I bought them and he needs to talk to me....LOL.....

Lots of discussion on JJP forum about the sequence of events, who's right and wrong or people just trying to understand what happened ( been a forum )

So I throw my 2 cents in


The way read it No 2 and 3 have already been sold to person A or
person A & B, and Stern displayed their Pinball are at the show with
out the rightful owner consent  .
A sale was done by a distributor who paid Stern more money for these
low numbers .
That distributor sold and got extra dollars for these low numbers and
customers  A or A and B happily paid the extra for these numbers , and
the deal was done ,sealed in concrete , everyone happy .
So persons A or A & B reads on the Texas Pinball Festival site or see
their ACDC pinball at the show been shake, rattled and rolled and get
very upset , angry ,etc etc etc .
Find Jack and asks for his advice .
That's what I think , on a lighter note we don't know if A and B live
in the same state  or that A and B are just friends or even know each
other or in a relationship .
A + B = It's all fun LOL

Just got a message from Jack to say that Steve Ritchie was sitting in the front row while he was on the podium talking WOZ .
Good to see Steve waving his own flag there I guess .

I think people will be ABSOLUTELY BLOWN AWAY when they see the LEDS on the Premium and LE models.  ^^^ ^^^ ^^^

I am definately going to do my Pro, but the question I have, is there additional code with the Premium/LE models that makes all the colour changing LEDS work in unison (together at the same time). IF this question can be answered by looking at the machine/contacting STERN, It might help PRO owners determine how best to tackle the LEDS on the ac/dc PRO model.  I am thinking there might be, for all 30 Leds to all change colours at the same time, and the exact same colour. ?   because, to my mind, wouldnt all the LEDs just change colours randomly if there wasnt something controlling it ? I know LEDS, but not to this extent ! 

*Dying to see the LEDS in the higher models. Should be very special. I think Petes going to have a blast, followed by 20 questions from me and a few dozen requests for videos of the new toy !  ^^^

p.s - Steve Ritchie, what a top bloke. That video/documentary of the making of AC?DC is a excellent video. I must have watched it 20 times now. It doesnt get old at all.
