Here is a mod by a Pinsider "Markmon" who didn't like the band shots. He is offering copies for anyone interested probably at a price ????

I love the new translite the guy has created. Very talented.  It looks very sweet.
Does anyone know how to buy one/order one/get a price etc. ? 

Note - It couldnt hurt to just swap them around from time to time, original to aftermarket etc.
* I would make a ""lightbox"" to put the spare one in next to the machine to spruce up the gamesroom etc. Would look very good.

Not for me as I think all the Sterns look great.

I have seen these units somewhere else. The product and controller is familiar etc.
Did u buy the units in blank form and then get the perspex > laser engaved etc with your artwork spacies ?

They do look good. Where are they posted from etc, who has the final licence etc, who is doing the delivery/pricing etc  ?

Can't say i'd swap the factory translite for that one. good effort, but i don't think it works.

I love anyone that has a go and makes their own custom translites. So many good ones out there. Would love to know the process of getting my own custom translite made one day.

I'm happy with my AC/DC Pro translite, but would love to buy a Premium translite to rotate every so often. Does anyone know when Stern will be making replacements to sell?

I'm also after a Tron translite for my wall seeing as I won't be able to afford the machine for quite some time. Does anyone know if these are still for sale anywhere?

Cheers!
Adam.

I designed everything. I had it all cut and I assembled it. The controller is a standard unit with these RGB LEDs so which is why it is probably familiar. Its very fiddly to install!

I sell them myself but I have none left. I am running a batch of ACDC, TZ and T2 next.



Mods, COT has posted in the wrong thread. Please feel free to move his reply and mine :)

Thanks.
