Aaaah yes.. have to agree with Mike completely... try fixing this one up yourselves.. and yes, the more complicated you make a running system.. the more there is to go wrong which it invariably does.
I do however REALLY like the look of the PF... the Europeans have always played around with the concept of clear resin PF,s and print underneath... RALLY did it back in the 60's as did the French manufacturer ALBEN.
There is a bit of an issue here too though and that is that when you place acrylic over something that covers the whole surface it is prone to sweating.... any moisture finds its way between the sheets and itll look bloody awful on that PF... i hope its glued down over the entire surface... a fan in the cabinet may not have been a bad idea.. youll need good airflow with this one..

LEDs look great on this... but the LCD screen looks bloody odd to me.. almost like an add on rather than its main concept.

Interesting stuff though and a bold move forward...... hall effect sensors are cool till they go wrong of course.

..One other thing..... Basketball??? Primarily an American game not what id tag Spain to... would have been better with a Pamplona Bull Run machine
