Lord of the Rings Looks Great! Posted on June 25, 2015January 8, 2024 by Kris Bliznick We just finished a full shop job on this Lord of the Rings pinball machine. We also put on a few custom touches on this pin. This machine looks great now. Check it out! Stern came out with this game in 2003, and produced around 5,100 units. (IPDB) We gave this machine a full shop job, tearing everything off the playfield to be tumbled, buffed, washed, polished, or otherwise cleaned. We decided to powdercoat this one, too, using a great bronze color with gold metal flake for the rails, legs, lockdown bar, and hinges. We also used brass feet and leg bolts, to give everything a cohesive look. The game came out the same year as the third installment of Peter Jackson’s trilogy, based, of course, on the classic J.R.R. Tolkien works. We also installed full LEDs in this game: insert, GI, and flashers. Bash the Balrog! Enjoy your beautiful game, Mike!
