Title: LEDs in BG's
Post by: Extra Ball on September 08, 2009, 08:56:53 PM

Tried a few spare LEDs in FT's BG tonite. About 6 warm whites, 3 green for the fish, and a red for the fisherman (notice he is another Furbs look-a-like? lol). Still about 8 normal 555's in there still.

I am going to get more and do the whole BG in LEDs, colored and whites.

Here is pic of the PF, added another 40 LEDs into it today.

The balls change color when they roll into the flipper area....electric blue lol

Looking very nice EB. ^^^

All this talk of LED's and seeing how it looks in the T2, I'm thinking of doing the ToM.

I like led's too. Haven't done a BG yet but will watch this with interest. I bought 20 or so 170 degree ones from RTBB and like them a lot. Great for large inserts. They are a fraction dimmer than the others I have purchased but do the job for the large inserts. No more hyper brights central spot in an otherwise dull large insert.

WOW !
Looking pretty sweet. Great job. Don't hold back on the #906 and#89 flashers they make a great difference especially in the backbox.
