Looks great Nino.
I find the best way to use Leds is to use ablaze type under inserts. use a 3 led super bright to highlight white under a white or clear insert. Use only std ablaze style under any general illumination (if at all). Anything over n above this results in things being too bright and distracting. After doing about 6 machines now, I have found the perfect balance. Also, I have found using coloured Leds under playfield plastics (General Illumination) can look weird(sometimes) so i just use white ablaze under plastics.

Maybe I could do a thread on using Leds and take photos of the styles that I have found work well on a range of dmd machines. A bit of a guide so to speak with photos.

The machine looks excellent mate. Another great resto job by the resto king. Well done mate. Looks bloody good.  ^^^ ^^^
