Looks great.
does it come up with lamp faults when you go to the diagnostics?

Hey Marco, how are you ..... hope all is well.  Those machines look like Christmas trees going off - the other side of the PF must be a maze of light bayonets!  They look great.

Still loving the SB machine (one year now, and have collected a few since then), but SB is a keeper.

Excellent Video Pinfan.
Glad to hear I am not the only person who loves both RFM and SW Ep1. Like you, I will just keep mine forever. Both really really fun games. Visually, just excellent.
Once u have them both, they both become keepers for sure. They do look excellent together. Long Live Pin2000.  ^^^

Marco,

Awesome video doco my friend!! #*#

It looks like i will have to do this with my RFM,Looks a treat really does!!
Agree with your opinion on RFM against SWE1, Hence why i havent bought the SWE1 yet & besides i am no star war fan.
Agree with Pinball 2000 being so attractive, Gotta say from the first time i played a pin 2000 in NZ at the first meet i attended over there in March 2009 i coudlnt get of the thing and knew it would be a purchase i just have to make and have which i did in August last year and its a keeper forever like my Genie haha.
Having an arcade machine and pin in one is just awesome and the game play everyone is BLOODY SPECTACULAR *%*

Thanks for the vid mate,Great work & great commentry.

Talk soon pal

Cheers
Troy.


P.S Yes you are right about that highscore ......I achievede 512 some 4 weeks ago having one of theose blinder games that i have from time to time that you have witnessed a fewtimes yourself haha  but apart from that i struggle to get 250-300 in the norm so yes definetly a hard to get score at over 600!!

Looks great Marco-mate theres always "rent a friend" for someone to hold the camera while you play the machine,  they are great and prices are very resonable my friends great and never misses my best shots %.%. I also love led's they really enhance the machine.

A far cry from the system80 love that you possess, but I can see why you have warmed to P2K. I look forward to playing them on my next visit  ^^^

Wow, they are both very sharp with LED's.

How much coin did it set you back for the RFM Cointaker LED's you recon delivered?
I'm thinking of giving it another go, I liked the effect of the LED's on the marsian toys and I used regular not super bright I found they were pulsing a fair bit.
Also, it seems difficult to really make the three green flame trails below the saucer punch even with LED's.

I love the game flow also.

I couldn't tell you what an led set cost for the rfm gimp.

I buy my LEDS in bulk and use accordingly.

I use the 170 degree angle leds and i match the colour of the led with the colour of the inserts. Yellows and orange inserts dont always work well. trial and error.

Cointaker has 3 x kits of LEDS for the RFM. (link below).

http://www.cointaker.com/category.sc?categoryId=37

They want $163 plus postage for the complete LED set up.

I personally buy in bulk like Pinfan, and i dont buy kits as such. For one machine here n there, buy a kit, but with alot of machines, buy in bulk.  ^^^

Ah my kinda heaven. Games look hot Marco. The saucer LEDs may be improved with those super bright flexi LEDs. Might be worth a try mate as they did wonders on my TOM on certain inserts that didn't light up to the max. Glad there's another person who likes both p2000. Well done
Still loving my Metallica Premium
