Post by: dendoc on February 24, 2013, 08:41:28 PM: I'll give it a go. Thought it may be better though

Post by: Retropin on February 24, 2013, 08:53:49 PM: Typical of a single strike back print... the backlighting just washes it out.
All backlit prints need to be double strike.. makes blacks black, greens green etc

Post by: Caveoftreasures on February 24, 2013, 09:11:14 PM: Also, another really cool mod for Congo, is a green perspex thin lense cover over the DMD to make it bright green.

I saw a picture recently and it looked great. Find somewhere who sells green perspex or a pinball mods place who does one, it was the best mod i have seen for a Congo because the geen DMD really suits it. Also, a set of mirror blades. See if Swinksy has any left ?

Post by: Hashman on February 25, 2013, 01:20:59 PM: The TFTC and DM both look great. Wish I still had my demo man now to try that 1st one out.

Post by: dendoc on March 03, 2013, 06:58:38 PM: Comparison with standard incandecent and LED's for alternate translite. Needs LEDs for this one methinks.
