Quoted from Menace

It doesn't NEED to be a Dolly doner game, but LV will use all of the PF mechs from DP.  That being said, DP has a set of inline drop targets which will be required for LV, so it makes sense to use a DP as the doner.

The in line drop target bank , that ' s the hick ...

Quoted from OTTOgd

Is there a 'master list' of the parts needed? What if these parts are just sourced and briguy just builds brand new cabs based on a template? Too much trouble?

In theory you could do this, but it's a LOT more work than just using the parts off a DP for the convesion.  Not sure if you'd want to make a PF wire harness from scratch, or try making one up out of another game other than dolly.  Me personally I would make one from scratch before I tried to make a non DP harness work, but that would be a last resort option.

And then the issue of finding the in-line drops you'd need for the LV PF would be another hurdle.

Call me pessimistic, but it blows my mind that people are buying up DP's to convert to a theme that hasn't even seen the light of day yet.

It seems like the same deal as that guy in Austrailia that sold a 1000 machines and built like 1.

I don't care... either way, I win. If they do, I get a kit. If they don't, I get Dolly running, and find a backglass for peanuts due to the ones that will be available, and my playfield is in great shape. I actually like the Dolly pin. Simple, but that in-line target shot can be tricky and drain your ball easily.

Like Cooke said...  If Mike & Kevin say it's gonna happen, it'll happen.  Wanus on the other hand....

Yup... that and the PF harness are the 2 biggest pieces of the "puzzle"

Pffft... I'd trust Mike and Kevin @ CPR over Waynus any friggin' day of the week. If they say they'll produce, you can bank on it.

Yap ! Too close by and doing good business already . They ' d have to be stupid to screw themselves all across the continent on one project ...

Agreed 100% placing the CPR guys in the same sentence as the "blunder from down under" is not right. Henious Waynus is a sad mark on the pin world

Forgot about the harness ... Pffff! Just a bunch of wires;easy-peasy!

Quoted from Tuborg

Anyone ever play dolly?   Is it any good?   I like drops which it is lacking...(in-lines aren't as much fun IMHO) ...I like the idea of ordering the kit regardless of whether I find a dolly...

Dolly is a decent $300 game. Now that they are going for $600 and more, hmmmm....not so sure. I had one back in the day. Paid $300, sold it for about the same.
