The mod includes three main components: the claw itself, a beautiful emerald whose clarity (crystal/glass) lets the nearby light from the lightrails dance through it, and a gantry to mount it on the playfield's back wall.  No fasteners required -- the gantry simply slips onto a specific section of the wall.  With the playfield in place inside the game, the gantry is not visible to the player.  The emerald mounts into the claw by a compression fit; the claw is intentionally undersized with respect to the emerald so it provides a constant squeeze to hold it in place.

NOTE: While we've lifted the playfield of our game with the mod in place and it stays retained, we recommend you remove the mod before lifting the playfield to the service position, just to be safe.  A reminder/warning is printed on the top of the gantry as a reminder.

This mod fits all three versions of the game.

Restore beauty to this area of your playfield with Rocket City Pinball's Teletraan I mod! This mod fully replaces the entire bracket, sign, lightboard, and wire harness. Included with the kit is the Teletraan I with preinstalled lights, a custom wire harness to be fully plug & play, and special hardware cleanup components including three hex spacers, a custom wire hider, and black & gold screws & washers.

The side monitors (Lock 1, Lock 2) light up solid (light blue) when balls are locked. When you begin multiball, the side monitors turn off, and the center MB monitor lights up in an animated blue & white! (Per customer request, side monitors can also be configured to light up in green.)

NOTE: The Pro and Premium/LE have different connectors.  Please be sure to order the correct version for your game!

Here's a look at it in action:

Installation is easy but does have several steps. Please follow the DIY procedure below! (Note: This video was produced with an earlier draft of the Teletraan, so the final product is improved beyond what you see in the DIY!)

Special thanks to savall21 for the excellent model that served as a starting point for this mod; the model then required heavy modification and enhancement to be integrated into my intended final design.

Installation is very easy and requires only a Phillips-head screwdriver (magnetic tip preferred). Simply remove the silver screw on the opto pad, position the opto cover, and reinstall the screw -- it's that easy!  See Installation Instructions section for a video guide.

Rocket City Pinball's got 'em covered -- resolve these problems with these replacement bracket / cleanup kits and additional character kits!

For Sonic, replace the unsightly black bracket with a custom translucent green one, that not only blends in better with the artwork but also transmits some of the surrounding light. In addition, the bracket replacement includes a green hex sleeve and green screw to dress up the nearby spotlight, and a translucent white/clear hex sleeve/cap to better hide the anti-ball trap hex spacer.

For Amy, a translucent green bracket replaces her black bracket, and includes a green mounting nut.

Let's add Tails! Included in the Tails kit is Tails himself (holding a wrench, since he's the gearhead of the group), pre-assembled to a custom translucent green mounting bracket, to position him adjacent to Big & Froggy's pond on the right side of the game. Tails kit also includes a translucent green hexsleeve and green screw to clean up the adjacent spotlight.

Let's add Knuckles too! The Bash target area is perfect for him, since he is associated with this feature in all the game's animations. The Knuckles kit includes Knuckles himself, pre-assembled to a custom translucent green mounting bracket (designed with anti-ball-trap features) and a green countersunk mounting screw.

While he's not one of the OGs, anit-hero Shadow is still featured very prominently in the game art, so let's add him too! The Shadow kit simply includes the Shadow model and a white-topped mounting screw, to mounting him climbing up the wall into Robotnik's lab.

There are many models of each of these characters out there, and I acquired several different versions to choose the best ones for these kits, with particular attention paid to the general quality/appearance and the size (in comparison to the existing Sonic & Amy models). Tails is slightly smaller than Sonic, Knuckles is slightly larger, and Shadow is roughly the same size.

Shop variations are set up to allow you to purchase any combination of the kits, in case you want particular characters and not others, or only want the replacement brackets for Sonic & Amy without adding any new characters.

The post Characters, Brackets, and Hardware Cleanup for Sonic the Hedgehog appeared first on Rocket City Pinball.

In Sonic the Hedgehog, the Battle Zone has caution-stripe accents on the plastics & playfield. In this area are two four posts and two ugly silver hex spacers that are begging for an upgrade! RCP had already developed a beautiful yellow/black caution-striped post (for use on games like Jurassic Park, Road Show, and more) -- and so took the next step to clean up the Battle Zone!

This 14-piece kit features 6 gorgeous 3D-printed posts and HexSleeves in caution-stripe black & yellow and 2 black screws, washers, lockwashers, and nuts to replace the OEM hardware to complete the cleaner look. (Note: even though JJP used black nuts, their locking inserts are white -- the nuts included in this kit are black with BLACK inserts!)

This is a very easy mod to install, even for beginners! You will need to remove the upper playfield to install this kit -- but every Sonic owner should know how to do this for cleaning/maintenance purposes. It's easy -- four hexes, one screw, four connectors, and two nuts. Full installation instructions (including video for upper playfield removal) included in Installation Instructions section below.

Note: a faint line (3D print seam) may be visible (cannot be hidden on round prints), but is very subtle once installed. Recommend orienting the seam at the 12-o'clock position, since its proximity to the cabinet's upper surface helps hide it. (Reference pictures in this listing.)

**Buyer is responsible to confirm their coin door uses this Suzo-Happ button type (replacement for button only in 42-0517 assembly, no housing included), as some export/reimport games may have had coin doors changed/modified.**

The post Sonic the Hedgehog Coin Reject Buttons appeared first on Rocket City Pinball.

This gorgeous start button features a four-color base (green, cyan, blue, and purple) topped with a 3D shiny metallic red star. The colors are intentionally close enough that their edges blend together, giving the color gradient appearance just like the Goal Ring in the game.

Be sure to also check out the alternate version — the Ring & Text version — and several other Sonic mods here!

This highly detailed model is the produced via extremely lengthy three-color 3D print, including a warm speckled stone color for the structure, transparent gray for the windows, and metallic steel color for the antenna tower.  It began as an excellent model created by Miroslav Faist, and has been heavily modified for ideal fit in the game.  Due to its height, the building requires extremely precise positioning to ensure clearance when rotating/lifting the playfield for servicing the game.  This positioning is established by its unique mounting bracket, whose oddly canted features also accomodate the not-perfectly-level plastics to which it mounts.  The mod design required dozens of iterations and modifications to achieve the perfect size, shape, and fit -- but it was worth the effort!

This mod is compatible with Stellar Pinball’s Biplane Attack mod; see photo in this listing demonstrating the clearance between the wingtips and the building,  This mod is also compatible with the Stumblor Skull Mountain mod!

Installation is very easy and requires only a Phillips-head screwdriver (magnetic tip preferred).  DIY instruction video below.
