  • Installing Mirror Blades and Armour on Stern Jurassic Park Pinball

    Installing Mirror Blades and Armour on Stern Jurassic Park Pinball

    I added some Side Armor and Mirror Blades to my Stern Jurassic Park pinball machine, and I really like how it looks. The Side Armor from CabCustom is a great product. I appreciated that they offer a customized option, and it’s much better value than the Stern version. The quality is excellent!

    The Mirror Blades from @Silverpaolo are also top-notch in quality, and the communication was great. I was initially worried about the installation, but it turned out to be quite simple, and I think the result is outstanding.

  • Stumblor’s Godzilla Subway MOD: A Stunning Addition to my Machine. WOW

    Stumblor’s Godzilla Subway MOD: A Stunning Addition to my Machine. WOW

    I just installed Stumblor’s “Godzilla Subway MOD,” and I’m so impressed. It looks absolutely amazing, and pictures really don’t do it justice. The design seamlessly fits in with the playfield aesthetics, making it look like it was originally part of the machine. Kudos to Stumblor for another fantastic creation! I can’t wait until Tokyo Neon #4 is released!

    Top quality, easy to install with full instructions, and some replacement graphic acrylics supporting other colours (noticed and black/white design :-))

    I’m just hoping that Stumblor will make some modifications for JP2. :-)

  • Upgraded My Stern Jurassic Park Pinball with Shaker, Cooling Fans and Silicone Rubbers for Enhanced Play

    Upgraded My Stern Jurassic Park Pinball with Shaker, Cooling Fans and Silicone Rubbers for Enhanced Play

    I made some upgrades to my Stern Jurassic Park pinball machine. I added a Shaker from PinSound, which really enhances the experience, especially when the T-Rex roars and the machine shakes. I also installed some coil cooling fans that I got from Wayne on the PinballInfo Forums. I haven’t noticed any fading with the machine yet, but that’s probably because our scores are still relatively low and our gaming sessions are short. However, we’re improving, and our game times are getting longer.

    In addition, I replaced all the rubbers with new silicone ones from TITAN. It was a bit of a hassle because we had to remove a lot of the playfield, including a ramp and the Raptor Pen.

    I thoroughly cleaned and waxed it, and now it plays so well. This game is incredibly addictive, and the shots feel amazing. It’s much more challenging to play and progress than Godzilla, and it’s very different from Godzilla Pin. I’m really glad we chose this pair.

  • Upgraded World Cup Soccer with Pin2DMD for Stunning Visuals and Crisp Colours

    Upgraded World Cup Soccer with Pin2DMD for Stunning Visuals and Crisp Colours

    I just installed a Pin2DMD on my World Cup Soccer, and the difference is impressive. The colours are vibrant, and the animations are so much better in colour. The pictures don’t do it justice; it looks fantastic.
    The DMD is so clear; the colours are vibrant and really pops.

    Big thanks to Andrew @Terranigma from Pinballinfo (I bought it from him) for a great product, great price, fast delivery, and support with the installation.

  • Installing Col’s Plastic Protectors on Sterns Jurassic Park Pinball Machine

    Installing Col’s Plastic Protectors on Sterns Jurassic Park Pinball Machine

    When everyone else in the house is asleep, it’s time for pinball. I prefer to have Col’s Plastic Protectors installed on the playfield to add a bit of protection to the original plastics. I think it really improves the look of the playfield by adding a bit more light and colour. I recently added these yellow protectors to my Stern Jurassic Park Premium pinball machine, and I’m really happy with them.

    As always, the product quality is excellent, and it’s easy to install. Now, let’s see if I can break a billion points. It’s a challenging game, but it’s so addictive, and there are some amazing shots.

  • Upgrade with Movie Clips – Stern Jurassic Park Pinball Machine

    Upgrade with Movie Clips – Stern Jurassic Park Pinball Machine

    Integrating the movie scenes into my Stern Jurassic Park pinball machine is an awesome upgrade. The clips really enhance the experience. We opted for the lite version, which preserves the original game rules callouts and truly feels like a seamless integration as if Stern themselves did it. It really amps up the excitement.

    The creators of this movie code have done an outstanding job. It’s truly impressive. Sourced it from Pinside (PoMC) :-)

  • Godzilla “Stumblor Lolly UFO” mod complete kit, loving my Godzilla Pinball

    Godzilla “Stumblor Lolly UFO” mod complete kit, loving my Godzilla Pinball

    I recently made some updates to my Godzilla pinball machine. I was really looking forward to this one, so I got the full kit from STUMBLOR PINBALL, which includes;
    – the UFO with animated and triggered LEDs,
    – 2 sling post lights with animation and triggers,
    – Godzilla backbox breath with animation and triggers.

    It feels, plays, and looks fantastic, and it is a must-have. The instructions were excellent, and it was easy to install. I’ve left all the options on default for now, but I plan to customize it more when I return from my break. Overall, I love how my Godzilla pinball machine looks and plays, and the add-ons really complement the original game.

  • Unleash the Power of the Atomic Godzilla Mod for My PIN (Sterns Godzilla)

    Unleash the Power of the Atomic Godzilla Mod for My PIN (Sterns Godzilla)

    I recently received the Atomic Godzilla mod from Jazzbouche. I had ordered it at the same time as the machine. It looked great in the pictures, but in person, it’s even better than I expected. The quality is fantastic and fits perfectly with the machine’s theme. It’s a must-have because the original figure seems a bit average. 

    “This is the Godzilla figure that this amazing pinball machine deserves.”
