My Grail Pin


Nookie

Recommended Posts

Finally scored my grail pin today from a local non-member.

It has the usual minor PF wear, but it's in pretty good nick otherwise.

Special thanks to @djc for being such a helpful legend and going above and beyond providing me with information and answering my endless questions.

 

I pretty much only watched the bigger kids play this when I was younger, before my family moved out to the bush. Now I own one. Such a great feeling!

 

:)

Before I got my GNR, I was convinced a pinsound board would be an absolute required purchase. I tried a pinsound board from one of my other machines in it for a few hours and hated it. You can't mess with perfection ;-). Could be another story in a few years, but for me and Mrs now, stock sound is spot on.

LED colordmd however, is an absolute required purchase...

Congrats on the grail pin. This was also my grail pin. I remember the elation when I finally obtained it a few years back so I know exactly how you feel. If you are a massive Gunners fan as I am you will never grow tired of it. Now just play the legs of it and enjoy!!

Decided to start learning more about the pinballs so I bought the GnR Ultimate and Flasher led kits off PinballBulbs.com and started on the upgrade last night. It was a good purchase for a beginner like myself I think, as the leds are separated into labelled bags and there is a guide included to help work out which leds they suggest go where. The backbox swap was quick and easy and is already finished. New DMD arriving soon.

 

As this machine was a HUO for the last ~15 years I'm also cleaning all the plastics and the hard to get to places on the PF as I go with Novus 1/2.

 

Pop bumper comparison and top lane lights replaced.

Most of the topside leds swapped, but still WIP. The S5 camera really doesn't pick up the vibrancy and brilliance of the new lights unfortunately. Speaker/DMD surround still to go back on.

This won't be a project thread or anything like that.

I'm just posting an update on this for anyone interested or who needs the motivation to attempt something similar on their machine.

When you get your colorDMD don't forget to put wide tape over the gold cable from the PCB to the display. If you go to fix something in the backbox & get a cable caught on that gold cable it will end in lots of tears. I've been there! Congrats on the G&R too!
