So, I always have been a serial modder, but I guess its been next level with all this Covid time on my hands. So, after picking up a JP prem...here are some mods/upgrades Ive done.
The first is replacing the Spike fan with pinmonk's fan, a hassle, but cheap and does a great job. As well, I installed headphone jack and I really recommend it - with headphones on you hear every thing very clearly and it reduces the physical sound of the pinball in the machine.
Here is a pic with side art installed and Mezel mods raptor cage mod. As well, in the background are shtubs and trees to lend to the jungle feel.
You can get the trees on amazon and are very inexpensive. I put a bunch of trees behind the raptor tower and it is a cool effect when the t-rex's head moves into them. ...and as well, I found a small (to scale-ish) dilophosaurus you can see in the first pic...
Maybe a little hard to tell, but I hid a couple of small LEDs under the raptor tower pointing down to the playfield to help brighten up the top half of the play field.
I bought the machine with the replacement signs which is a really nice upgrade and I bought a toy Pteranodon on amazon and mounted it on its ramp - simple, cheap and nice effect.
What took the most work is modding the matchbox helicopter, that I saw was done on Pinside. Once again nice effect since the 2d chopper plastic looked cheap. As well, I put a light in it and tied it to the helipad light.
The last two mods are the best:
1) Fan Edit Code - you can get it from a contact on pinside, they took tons of audio and viseo clips from the first movie and did a stellar job integrating them using pinball browser - highly recommended!
2) PDI glass (thanks Reg).
and was lucky to find a machine with the topper and amber mosquito shooter. I totally recommend JP if you don't mind a pin with a few really tight shots. Elwin's code is amazing...
