On the home stretch with this project, and I had a few issues with the original DMD controller AND the Video ROMs being corrupt. But that was quickly sorted out. The Color LED display is awesome. I really like it - suits the game perfectly.
The Translite looks great in the Darker theme of the game, but I know there's a different translite to go into the machine once it is in it's new home.
One of the hurdles was R2D2's helmet. The game had a chrome finish, but looking at various movie stills, it should be a flat grey. So I ended up spraying it with a chrome paint, designed for metal, and then polishing it. The results were better than expected !
Now for some play testing before adding the rest of the mods ;
So far, after some teething issues, it plays well above my expectations. What a GREAT machine to play !
Next installment will be the Topper (which is AWESOME) and the Pinsound board, which is an interesting project of it's own !
