A decision made early on was to "kit" this game out with LEDs. Most would agree that this title SHOULD look great, so Greg (RTBB) and I decided we would try a FULL LED kit on this game. No expense spared, this was going to be a very nice Theater of Magic.

I bought a new ramp from RTBB, and these ramps are simply awesome. Not only do they look great, but they are slightly thicker than the original and they have improvements such as the thickness near the entrance to the ramp. The original ramp was broken, so it was a good excuse to install a new one. I also invested in a ramp protector for the left hand side of the ramp - so both ramps have protectors. Here's a picture of the new ramp with the decal installed and the protector about to be installed ;




The first LED test that we tried on Saturday yielded these results. Now this took 4 hours until we were both happy with the results. I installed the new ramp and took a few pictures ;








It might seem easy to blend in the LEDs with the inserts, but it took an hour just to work out the correct LEDs. Very pleased with the results ;





The second ramp is in really good condition (thanks to factory protectors). That will be installed soon. I just have to pick up an assembly that needs to be TIG welded and it will be ready to test.
