To the LED skeptics....
« on: December 30, 2009, 09:57:34 AM »
Just finished a restore on my Star Trek 25th and wanted to add a little touch......Being Star Trek i thought it fitting to have it looking a little different to my other machines, more 'modern'...

A beauty to look at with lights off but have a look at it with the leds in place....

All inserts were colour matched with wide angle leds...

GI is all bright/cool white wide angle leds..

Backbox has bright/cool white wide angle leds..( behind the faces i have used normal #44 globes to keep the natural appearance of the skin tone...)

All leds were purchased from COINTAKER.

The #555 were a bit of a pain in the ass as they have to be in a certain way...Well worth the mucking around though...

To all who are a little skeptical on using leds.... Take a look....

There's no question they're a difference maker - in appearance, in power consumption and in heat generated. Maybe the skeptics just couldnt be bothered going to the effort of re globing all their games...?  *.*

A little more time spent on the ST today and i managed to hook this up...

It is a hallmark replica of the orig enterprise. Cost me all of $15 au to buy and get it here....

Mounted it on a bracket and wired it to the GI...

Love the Star Trek collection.

The enterprise looks at home on the playfield, perfect size. 

Excellent work,
