- Found a #906 bulb in bottom of cabinet. From the game, somewhere! Did tests and Flasher behind Barad-dur was missing, it fell out:
- Tried an Orange LED for that flasher as it might look good with the eye decal, but it didn't fit properly. So put #906 bulb back. All OK.
- Realised that Barad-dur tower is really noisy when held down, maybe normal. Set the "early-crash" setting for tower to "no", as I didn't like that sound.
- Added a colour changing #44 LED from Bruce at BC's Pinball* behind the Palantir, which is a nice touch. For the Palantir insert to colour change, you need the #555 style LED.
- Over time I plan to add the figures with some plastics and protectors. The distributor included a complete(?!) set of figures with the LE as a freebie. Yay! That's what a distributor's surprise should be.
Another good use for the #555 LED is the "?" on the TZ Door. It's ALL personal opinion with LEDs. Good for accents here and there.
Some time ago I ordered:
- Complete plastic set with the mounting holes for the figures, as I decided I didn't want to drill holes in the original LOTR-LE set.
- Cliffy protector for the Gimli hole (VUK)* and a PoTD plastic deflector* - for the Path of the Dead which evens out the scoring of lanes 1 & 2.
I've decided to keep a list of LOTR mods and the part numbers / suppliers separate from this blog.
- No coin mechs in coin door- what? from new? Distributor had pulled them, offered to send some out. Was not that bothered- had been looked after well so far.
- Folks complained about getting Canadian coin mechs in the USA on RGP and then I get USA ones and I don't care!
