Lame mods
« on: January 15, 2013, 08:45:11 PM »
Wouldn't mind a list and/photos of some of the most stupid, lame mods you have come across for pinballs.  Actually won the rolling quarter mod for my TZ on eBay for a couple of cents and it looks pretty stupid.

A bit like a mod I just developed for the most modded pinball of all time, you got it twilight zone. What do you reckon, will it sell? I got the snip ration from the back glass

IJ "orange" powdercoated ramp with pointless "air holes" (to make the ball go faster obviously).  &^&

Colour looks awful and the holes just look silly.

Sorry to all those TZ owners with them, but the lamest mod I think is the coloured gumballs for the gumball machine.  Take a look at the backglass picture, It is a gumball machine that dispences pinballs not coloured gumballs. Although a gumball machine never appeared in the series, going with the theme of the abnormal it just looks stupid to have coloured balls in there.  Someone needs to make a mod with a set of chrome looking plastic balls to fit the theme correctly, then I'd consider putting them in.

Not really a mod per se, but check out this "fix" on a Striker Extreme.

Keep in mind, the guy in the vid is the same fella that throws pinball machines off his roof for amusement....



On a side note, anyone else think he looks and sounds like Morrie (the wig store guy) from the movie Goodfellas?  *%*

oh yes, what a cool mod.  a 50 cent light bulb and a 2 dollar connector...... %.% %.%

if the guy throws pinball machines off the roof, perhaps he should throw some of the hack artists in the industry off with them.lol  *%*

I was told this fellow throws really bad pinnys off the roof, cause its his way of letting people know he only deals in quality n not junk...could catch on in Australia......we will need alot of roofs..... #@#

For a guy that throws perfectly good machines off a roof "for fun", this turd shouldn't be throwing stones !
