Is that el wire on your ramps? Well done.

I don't own an ACDC so I guess the mod is the clapper?

You never answered the question about the original mod. Is the clapper

Perhaps with enough sales you can figure out how to post once like a
normal person. :)

I have the Bell mod and I REALLY like it. Doesnt effect gameplay.
Looks and works great.

I removed the spring infront of the bell too. Do this if you havent
already.

Heres a vid I made of it.

The new google groups also appears to have trouble with users who have
20+ rgp posting accounts for themselves. It just selects an account at
random for each post/reply and uses those credentials rather than the
one you want to use for the thread. Send them a memo to fix that bug.

The one thing we know for sure that it does do: It takes $35 out of your
pocket.

Can't understand why the OP won't give a straight answer? Maybe its a
mystery mod?

Looks like it lowers the bell slightly allowing you to hit the bell to
hit the target behind like a messenger ball.

He's not on rgp that much. Pinside more. I thought it was obvious. The
ball swings into target. Makes a crack when u hit it. Much better
action. Similar to prem. looks great. Worth it.

Sorry I have not been on RGP lately....

To answer a few questions about what the bell modification is....I added a captive/suspended ball to the pro bell that hits the OEM switch. The play ball, hits the suspended ball, which hits the switch. Then bounces off the machine's bell switch and strikes the play ball. Its the same concept as how the premium but its a lot quicker action. The play ball can not get stuck behind the swinging ball, because it will not fit under it. It does not swing high enough. The swinging ball is just off the PF and the inside of the bell area limits the travel distance and the distance to strike the rear target. It has greatly reduced the number of SDTM's off the bell shot, but it fixes what I very strongly feel is a design flaw on the pro's, and I also wanted to give it a finished look better than Stern did.

Thanks,

Steve
