I was going to mention the glove but see you already know about that. Up some pics if you can when you get it.

I'm so jealous!!

That is a fun pin to play no doubt. Congrats!!!

Congrats Erak! I hope to play one a the Chicago Expo this year.

Hi Erak ,
Never seen this pin before - Congrats -
You didn't mention the price you got it..

The only thing to watch for erak is those stand-up targets (access jet bumpers on left, and light mneumonic recovery on the right). The switches might get worn. I know mine had a broken stand-up target when I got it. Thats the only thing I can think of.

The glove itself is quite sturdy, and if its working now, there isn't anything to worry about (there is a nut back there the glove travels on....which is the reason why gloves on route JM's don't work...because that nut is missing or worn out).

I love my JM pin. Everytime I get Rudy from Funhouse to come on during "Frenzy" mode....possibly also activate Yakuza strike (which is inspired by the consecutive "cross shots" from T2 pinball)....my blood gets pumping.

If you wanna see how fast JM is....don't do any drop catches. Hit the ball straight across when it comes down to the flipper. The ball will accelerate so fast around those loops, that you will either lose track of the ball with your eye....or the actual software will have to catch up to the switches hit in the process. Its pretty wild.

I agree with the speed. The only other pin I have seen go near as fast is Corvette. Not sure which one is faster around the orbits but the right orbit to skid pad shot on Corvette gets the ball going so fast I can't track it. Makes sense though, they are both Gomez pins.
You are a lucky man, Erak. Congrats. I wish that lady would have sold me her JM.

Great pin Erak, other than the above, the ramps can suffer with cracks, mine on the right hand side has been repaired in a past life but this can't be seen unless it is removed.

Also there is a small plastic that sits at the back of the left ramp (on top) to stop balls flying out, when I got mine there was a random sling shot plastic sitting in its place, I had to make myself a new one which looked better. Here's a pic of the original and my one.

Also just to the left of CrazyBobs kickout there are 2 plates back to back to separate CrazyBobs from the popbumper escape. On mine the plate stuck out enough (past the rubber post) to scratch/chip my balls, I took out the right hand side one and replaced with a rubber ring.

Here's pics to show what I mean...

This makes that shot harder too..

I do wonder why the blue/clear post is behind the solid post, cause with both plates on the hidden post serves no real purpose?????? any ideas?????

Maybe they originally planned to use a rubber ring like you have?

I have yet to see a badly worn out JM playfield. JM's hardly got play out in the wild, so I guess that was always a plus. Yours is really nice erak.

Hi Erak, I see you have the original plastic over the left ramp. If you get a chance do you think you could take it off and take a scan of it for me and send to me by email, many thanks.
