That looks great.  ^^^

How did you fasten the el wire to the wireforms / ramps?

Can you take a photo of the the power supply underneath the playfield with the el wire on to show how you have routed it etc and any tips please.

Hey Nino, What do you reckon about having a dedicated mods section on the forum so people can easily search through that section for items.

Each thread could be listed as a general mod of game specific - Twilight Zone - El Wire Mod

Yes, some more information on how you installed it would be great.

I've contacted the eBay seller and asked for some kit pricing, including one transformer/wall adapter (for testing purposes), with a 5m length of each available color Blue, Green, Red, White, Pink, Purple, Aqua, Lime, Orange.  I'll report back on when I hear from them.  If others are interested, I could place a group buy??

To take things further, add a control circuit into the EL power cabling to flash or blink the EL wire in sync with it's surrounding lamp flashes.
The EL (ramps) can be turned on/off during different stages of the game when jackpots are enabled such as "shoot the ramp" kinda thing.

Well, it's actually one of my projects/mods that i do, although haven't sat down to complete some easy-install boards for whoever needs them in future, stay tuned.

Definitely count me in for one (green el wire on the back ramps of the creature), and a second unit as a spare for something I am working towards. keep me on a list
