I have always liked how these Back Alley buildings and subway add on looked in pictures but the cost of $325usd+shipping+taxes always discouraged me so instead I opted to go with Drano's mirror blades. Someone on pinside last month posted their BAC buildings and subway add on shipped for a reasonable price so I decided to spring for it. It took almost a month to get to me and seller was initially prompt in replying to PM but after money was sent on Aug 30 he sort of went silent when I asked if he had a chance to ship them out yet a week later. At one point I even started asking my friend's about how paypal disputes work and what grounds I had in case the seller was trying to drag it out past a certain time frame. Anyways, it finally shipped on Sept 24 and arrived yesterday tax free :mrgreen:
Installation is pretty straight forward and no permanent modifications required and it uses existing hardware in the game and comes with a few nylon risers to use as set screws which some pieces go over to hold in place. Here are some before and after pictures of my game.
I'm going to paint the white trim facing the mirror blades on the building black as you can see the reflection in the mirror blades. I am not sure if I should remove the mirror blades since most of it is concealed on the left side with the buildings. The nice thing with them installed it is casts a reflection from the GI below which lights up the buildings and saves me a bit of work from having to wire up some sockets and tie into the game.
I plan on drilling out the front of the subway where the red and green indicators are and installed some LEDs there later. I was too excited and wanted to get these installed before my friend Elliot dropped by around 11:30pm last night to play some pins.
Had a few good games on it last night and not stuck balls nor did it interfere with game play because some people say it blocks your view of the ball coming. There is plenty of time for you to react and you can sort of see the ball rolling through the building windows anyways.
