LOTR LE - Pinsound and loads of mods!
- Thread starter richk87
- Start date
Yea mate thanks!
The Wool mix on the Pinsound page was the issue. Some reason was only 177mb.
Downloaded it from Pinside and much better. 1.2GB.
Ive spent hours getting volumes of the Wool Mix right. A lot of music and callouts too loud out of the box.

That is gorgeous. The PinSound makes such a big difference.
I wish I could source the Path of the Dead mod, though. I've looked everywhere...
What specifically does it do?
Nothing
You can't get it any more because they used licenced figures sold by wallmark or best buy in America that where intended for people's shelves. They basically took these and then mounted them on some plastic and added a light. I've seen the figures for sale sometimes but there stupidly expensive
It's a pretty cool looking mod, I also did try and get it but I'm not paying £400 for some clear plastic path of the dead kings and then more money and time to get it goingNothing

I bought a handmade sword handle instead "lol"
Yeah. My plan was to try to get the figures, and then fit the lights and stuff myself, but I haven't seen the boxed figures anywhere. The Path of the Dead looks a bit rubbish without it...Nothing

[But I'm also the person who has spent £400 on parts for a Fish Tales topper I have to assemble myself... cough].
Have you tried Amazon, I saw them on there via their partner sale.Yeah. My plan was to try to get the figures, and then fit the lights and stuff myself, but I haven't seen the boxed figures anywhere. The Path of the Dead looks a bit rubbish without it...

I've spent a fortune on mine, just waiting for the next fed ex delivery "lol"

Wow that is totally amazing, didn’t even know there was an LE (Noob). That’s about the most gorgeous thing I’ve ever seen and sounds incredible! 
Always fancied a LOTR in my collection. Looks like this is the one!
What's your addy and I'll arrange Martin to come and collect?

The sound you can have on any machine, the LE didn't come with it, its a mod bought from here:Wow that is totally amazing, didn’t even know there was an LE (Noob). That’s about the most gorgeous thing I’ve ever seen and sounds incredible!
PinSound – Enhance your machine, start a new game!
www.pinsound.org
It's great for older machines.
The LE theres not much difference between the orginal, from memory the difference are:
Embossed Gold translight (back box picture)
Gold side rails and legs
enahanced fellowship mode, you get a cave troll, but this is on almost all the normal editions as long as they have updated the rom (which is easily done)
Different motherboard (CPU) I think prototype (in wild) spike
Shaker motor (comes with pinsound pack if you need)
richk87 machine is impressive, however most of the stuff are mods, many of which are now unavailable, some money was spent on it its not part of the LE. (Just in case you you where searching for one and expected the same)
Some things you missed from the LE:
Double layer of clear coat
Signed playfield
LE certificate and plaque
The translite is actually a real backglass.
Enhanced sound card.
But you are right a lot of money has gone into extra mods on my game

I thought it was signed and had a plaque and certificate but wasn't 100% sure
translite I knew that it was glass (old school) bit of a typo
I beleive the sound is high KB rate than the original, probably due to the spike board, but if he was thinking yours was the same as an LE he might find thats incorrect
and would be very disapointedMoney well spent
or not depending on who your speaking to *lol* wife says no, pinball forum says yes

This is amazing! Looks and sounds fantastic.
Are the engraved armour part of the LE? Or did you do this yourself? I love it!

Any ideas how you get that done?
You can buy them here
Side Rails for The Lord of the Rings, 2 Piece Set
www.pinball.center
They do deliver to the UK, I bought my replacement ring from them.
I can't get a set because they have the lolipop flipper covers and I use the UK skill buttons

Gold Plating
I have had a lot of stuff plated over the years. Never any issues. This is not the 24 carat stuff ( that costs Fortune)but it's plenty good enough for a pinball. price depends what the plater wants on the day but it is reasonable. For instance the 5 shadow ramps and the gun being played it...

I would also be grateful if you could let me have a copy of you're modded wool file, I know what you mean about the volume issues. Happy to make a donation to the forum for it.

What a superb example and love the pinsound. Played one a few months ago and the only thing I felt it was lacking was in the sound / audio quality department.
