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

    Godzilla “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.”

    I just added the ‘Noodle Bar Building, Tokyo Neon #2’ mod to my Godzilla Pin and it looks amazing! It really enhances that part of the machine. The mod is made by ‘Stumblor Pinball’. Looking forward to getting more

    And now, with Side Armor, Protection levelled up :-)
    Its wasn’t really that bad to install; Luke helped to move the PIN so I could get access to the sides and back easier.

  • Godzilla Speaker Upgrade: Stunning Red Design and Enhanced Sound Quality

    Godzilla Speaker Upgrade: Stunning Red Design and Enhanced Sound Quality

    I’ve been meaning to update my speakers for a while now. I’m happy to say that not only do they look great, but the sound quality has also improved. The red colour around the speakers looks fantastic and complements my Cab perfectly.
    I was considering adding some speaker lights with a burning building effect, but unfortunately, the lack of an option to turn them off while playing games made it a no-go for me. Personally, I prefer to play pinball with the backboard lights switched off.


  • To Buy, Or not to buy PINBALL

    To Buy, Or not to buy PINBALL

    I have been thinking about buying a Star Trek: The Next Generation pinball machine since I found one for sale at a reasonable price. I have watched videos and played a video game version of it, and it seems pretty good. However, I am not sure if I could handle playing a game with the Star Trek theme song continuously playing in the background. If it was Star Wars, I would be happy, but not Star Trek.

    To help me decide, I went to a bar in Hull on Friday after work (after returning from Manchester for work) that had the pinball machine . Unfortunately, I was only able to play one game, and while it was okay and had some cool shots, I wasn’t thrilled.

    When I got home, Luke and I played some tables via Steam ( Star Trek: The Next Generation, White Waters). But in the end, we decided to hold off on buying the Star Trek pinball machine for now.

    Star Trek: The Next Generation is a widebody pinball game, designed by Steve Ritchie and released in November 1993 by Williams Electronics.

  • Exploring The Arcade Club in Bury with Mark : A Massive Pinball and Arcade Haven

    Exploring The Arcade Club in Bury with Mark : A Massive Pinball and Arcade Haven

    Yesterday after work, we visited The Arcade Club in Bury for the first time. We were all impressed by its massive size and the variety of pinball and arcade machines available. The club had a great selection of games spread out over about five floors. They had about 25 pinball machines, including some real classics. Unfortunately, three of them were out of order.
    “It was hilarious! When we arrived on the ground floor, we spotted a premium Godzilla pinball machine. Mark couldn’t wait to try it out and started playing right away. Unfortunately, within just five minutes, he managed to break it by getting the ball stuck behind MegaGodzilla. I went with him and we had a blast despite the mishap. We’re definitely planning on going back to play again.”

  • Pinball Machine Renovation: Fixing up World Cup Soccer 94 pinball, From Weak Flippers to Smooth Shots

    Pinball Machine Renovation: Fixing up World Cup Soccer 94 pinball, From Weak Flippers to Smooth Shots

    I have made several fixes to my World Cup Soccer pinball machine. When I first acquired it, the left General Illumination, along with several other lights, were not working. There were also numerous errors in the log startup, the flippers were weak at times, and the playing field was dirty.

    To fix all the errors in the log startup, and lights. I researched a lot, asked questions on forums, soldered, switched connections and traced wiring for hrs and hrs and hrs. I also replaced all the lights with LEDs, I replaced the rubbers with titan ones, swapped out some of the plastics, put in some new pinballs, and installed playfield metal protectors. I even rebuilt the flippers.

    Luke helped me with the choose of colors we went for with the playfield and backbox lights. We did tons of cleaning, the playfield, the plastic ramps, all the stuff metal and the cabinet itself.

    It now plays great, the shots feel smooth, and overall I think it looks a lot nicer. I did try installing some additional mini floodlights, but I thought that made it look too bright, and I wasn’t a fan of seeing loose wires on the playfield

    However, there is still a lot more work to be done. I plan to install a Colour DMD, replace the plastic ramps, and install more metal playfield protectors. I had a great time working on the pinball machine and learning in the process. I am excited to do more!

    I must have caught the bug because while working on the pinball machine, I also insulated my outside garage so that I could store more pinballs. Cant wait to get more
