%)%Over $500 shipped but I think it may be worth it as you can use the software to customise the video and messages to whatever you want so there is next to no restriction on the creativity side. I might get one for Luci

Do you reckon they'd be hard to hook up? I'm tempted to.

Yeah me to peter. By all accounts from pinball mike it's not too difficult and totally reversible. That said looking at the kit it looks like a bit of an effort tho. Certainly not changing out a "no bulb". I might wait till a few kits roll out and hear from buyers before I fork out $500 on it. No choice at the moment. He's sold out for now.

Yep me to it'll be interesting to hear back from people testing them but I gotta say this is an awesome mod and pretty good value to :-)

Going to be interesting to see how the 12v rail is going to handle this especially with people who have already got undercab,topper and speaker grill lights etc.
I would suggest a separate power supply might be needed.

some info on the lcd screen mod, Mike from PinballMikeD has kindly asked for me to join his collaborative team for the AC/DC mod as well as quite a few future mods where I will be specialising in toys for his high tech / quality mods. This is my test mod that he has asked for to finish off his lcd mod and to see if I am worthy  . He is currently developing this lcd mod also for the Pro AC/DC as well.

Mike wanted something 3D and affordable to dress up the front of the mod between the metal plate and lexan screen to give that look similar to the Black Ice Tour concert stage. There are 4 parts to this mod which are all just under 1/4 inch (6mm) thick and simple use the 4 supplied bolts and slot together sandwiched between the metal plate and the lexan screen.

The material for the side gears and top gears is polished alumide which is a 3D printed material that is plastic as well as metal flakes to give it that cast metal look. The stage is a flat black unpolished 3D printed material that is plastic. All parts will be professionally printed at Shapeways and most probably fitted by Mike.

I am still looking at tweaking / fine tuning the design so please join in and share any thoughts.

Mike has asked me if I want to be the possible distributor for his mods for down under, so this could happen if there is enough interest for various mods.

Cheers, Jady

Looks great so far Jady.    Good news for aussie customers as well if you decide to become a distributor.

here is an alternative as I felt that the gears started taking over the lcd mod so added a recess to the stage and changed the top panel to show "Black Ice Tour" as the AC/DC pinball is based off this tour and the 40th anniversary of AC/DC. Curious to see what others think, gears of banner. Or there could be 2 options to purchase to swap out for a change.

design is finished so if anyone gets a lcd mod they can dress it up with this kit - gear or tour banner

test print done and fits perfectly, so anyone who gets PinballMikeD's AC/DC screen mod can get the stage toy kit directly from Shapeways soon.

Mike and I discussed the stage parts and they will be available directly from shapeways as Mike has already completed quite a few units included boxed etc and the horny hats wont fit to the assembly in the box.

It is a simple kit to assemble and can be found at this link.

or when you are in Shapeways simply do a search on PinballMikeD

The whole kit is $56.90 and the 2 spacers are not really needed but is a personal choice to fill the gaps at the bottom dropping the kit price to $52.30. Also most of the parts are a fixed colour except the Tour Banner being available in Black or Polished Metal (being a little dearer).
