Just mount them in the base of the cab anyhow....
Can't be to hard to put together a kit for a headphones socket.
I know using a powered sub hooked up to the standard sub in the cab works well. I tried it myself with a sony sub using croc clips and it gave plenty of extra BOOM.
Hey Rus does your wife give you a hard time about your pinball hobby ?
She's popping up more and more lately.

What you going to do when she tops your high score Paul ?

Hahhahaha. Then take the glass off to get your old score back?
Like it.
But that will only make her more determined to kick your **** and get her name on all your machines.
Tread carefully.

Never!
I got em all set-up to reset the high score table as:
Champ: 5,000,000
1) 4,000,000
2) 3,000,000
3) 2,000,000
4) 1,000,000
That way i really should get on the board quite quickly, even with glass in the way
It's also nice to reset the scores when people come round to play em, especially kids. And by kids I mean people of my own age. My high scores aren't good enough to record for posterity, but the skills/strategies I've leant in the process should be repeatable and new high (possibly ****ter) scores will eventually follow...
Outlanes at the max, tilt bob super sensitive, dodgy playfield angle that drains constantly will help..

A free evening so some more progress. Doubtful I'll have it done for Saturday as hoped, but nevermind - there are 3 other games to play.
UFO pinball hallway lights being held on with pegs to stick the pads as firmly as possible...
Still loads of getting to be done. In/outlane rail is too high and needs knocking in further. The plunger solenoid is right either - these Mirco playfields require quite a bit of adjustment!

What's the white sheet on the playfield, @Monkeyboypaul? Is it a playfield protector before the protective cover is peeled off?
OP

That's exactly right. Overkill for a new playfield, but I've seen quite a few Mirco's beat to **** around the inserts, so I figured this would keep it nice underneath. I put one on my Addam's Family as I was stripping it down anyway and it's great!
I know it is probably a bit late now, but instead of replacing the glass, you can just put insulating tape on the sides of the glass to help absorb the rattles.
I did try that at first but then there's ugly bits of tape on the edges and when you remove/replace the tape after it wrinkles because you had the glass out a few times you have sticky glass edges where the glue from the tape rubs off.
Y'know, I would have probably left it that way, but on Christmas eve 2011 I smashed it whilst being a c*ck so bought the thicker UK spec stuff from Phil at PH.
I reckon a brand new playfield is the perfect time to fit an overlay!
That is good to know about the potential issue with the sticky edges, also another very good excuse to upgrade the glass (by breaking the old one
).

Couldn't agree more!
Overkill.
But if you are planning on playing mega loads of games and it's a keeper then why not.
OP
OP
I agree that there's no such thing as a "keeper"
But people keep telling me there is, thought you might be one. Glad to know you are in agreement on the subject.

I've never measured it using 'science', but maybe. The ball rolling is definitely quieter though. Possibly 10dB less.
But seriously; it's a Makrolon playfield protector from Best of Pinball.

What's wrong with this picture?
Answer: I've lost the connector and cables in the top left corner at some point...
They connect to the 2 green targets and have nothing to do with the 3 bank motor switches, which they just happen to be connected to with ties. i think it got chucked out!
Anyone know what you call one of those 3 pin male connectors (top left)?
I phoned Google and found this: http://www.vetco.net/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=6855, but it's in the US.
Might try Andy @ PMania.
Need to reconstruct this small cable assembly. Proper fcuked off a myself!
It's going well otherwise...

This....the legend will sort you out.

Thanks for the note, your work looks good!
Don't think i'm in the market for a touch-up right now, especially with Christmas expenses on the horizon, but if i am then i'll email or come and grab you at one of Dave's Northern league meets (i think we met in his kitchen at the last one).
I have 2 other original AFM Playfields to sort out at some point - only 1 needs a paint touch-up though.
