that guy connected to flashers in the pop bumpers to the coils!!
Arnt coils 50V and flashers 12V?
Well... the flashers were really bright! lol

Here is the playfield half assembled.  I added green post rubbers which im glad i did they look awsome.  I kept the past etc orignial color but replaced them all with new parts Posts lane guides, bumper assemblies and caps.

   Ive also added leds to the pop bumpers which i have wired into the Lamp matrix they flash along with the attract mode and stay on durning gameplay turning off whenever the bumpers are hit once i get the video onto you tube ill add a link

And here it is all back together.    Ive left ll the original ramps on as i cant afford to buy all the rest at the moment no point putting on one new and 3 old ramps.
 
    Ive added a few Leds to some inserts but 90% are standard globes Leds just didnt cut it in my opinion.  Also added stcickers to the snackbar targets.

  Its only a test setup at the moment but ive installed a LED household down light for the creature lamp.  Its very bright but makes the creature bright blue

Ive also added my custom 1957 Chev to the playfield the light flash to the MOVE YOUR CAR insert

Looks very nice Daniel, well done. With the hologram, might be worth experimenting with some of the ideas here

Like your hologram, mine looked perfectly green outside of the game but bluey green in the game. I have had improved results with the green mirror, but need to muck about a bit more with the setup

Thats so funny was just discussing this with my brother wonderinf if covering the mirror with green celofane might help low and behold some one has already made a kit and great price aswell wonder if postage will be he killer.

  Thanks for the links


As for getting it done so quickly having my son wash and dry all the parts reallly helps.   As he is washing im polishing the playfield and all the metal parts.   usually have it bak together by teh time he has washed and dried everything then i polish each part that he has washed as i put them on.     ALso having a drill with all the right fittings really speeds things up aswell

It cost me just under $35 US for that Game Stencils kit including postage Daniel around six months or so ago.

Nice work mate, love the mods, did you have a go at flame polishing the ramps?

[goodolddays]

Looks great Daniel  . .Love the mods . I am jealous . .. I want one of these

[ddstoys]

Thanks for the comments guys.

  No i didnt bother flame polishing the ramps as i want to replace them with new ones ASAP i have done a couple of other ramps and its really amazing how good they come up but man you have to be careful LOL
