Most Creative Mod

[Guest]

RGP'ers,

Forgetting glow-in-the-dark paint, what is the most creative mod
you've seen done to a pinball machine?

A police officer got a very good deal on a "Police Force" with a
missing backbox topper. Then he got a very good deal on a police car
light bar from a police auction. After it fell off, he taped the police
care light bar on top of the backbox. He used a relay to control the
light bar mod and a battery charger cart was stuffed under the machine
to power the mod.

I don't think I would call a mod that has a "battery charger cart was
stuffed under the machine to power the mod" a most creative mod. More
like "this is the only way I know how to power a 12 volt device" mod.

I still have to give Korn props for some of his stuff. Even the spoof
stuff is cool. (huge props to the AFM aliens molesting the BBB tube
dancers)

The original idea was to mount the BBB dancers in place of the
martians, but we would have had to cut off the feet in order to make
that work. It ended up being a better idea to put them in interesting
um, positions .

Did you see the ToM saw "mod" in the out takes?

I like the BoP mod I did. I replaced the two flasher domes on each
side of the center ramp with 'cones' and 'globes' from a radio shack
Armatron (toy robot arm from the late 70's). The irony here is that
they used an Armatron (painted darker gray) for the cover of the Pinbot
Flyer.

Mick's STTNG laser cannon mod ( http://www.mickspinball.com/trek.html )
is one of the best mods I have ever seen. It is innovative, well
implemented, reversable, and matches the theme of the machine. - Marc

My nod goes to Hoopstar for CFTBL display panel brake lights, love that mod.

I recall seeing pictures of a TZ mod where someone added a real gumball
dispenser to the coin door so that when you shot the playfield gumball
machine, a real gumball was dispensed to the coin return slot!
