A few photos of my Haunted House pinball machine.

I am a huge fan of mulitiple playfields and this one is a classic!

Most lights on the playfield have been replaced with LEDs (red, green, ultra violet) and some added to back glass as well.

Playfield is in great shape and this has had all the grounding mods installed as well.

Back glass is the original and is also in fantastic shape! (what is really cool is behind the back glass, all the previous owners of the table signed the board that the lights are on. I will add my name soon enough to the list)
Cabinet itself is also in great shape with some minor touch ups applied.

I am having an issue with the extra ball rollover which I am looking into now. Once I get this resolved (and also add a few more green lights to the lower playfield and replace one of the ultra violets) I will make a video and post it.


Back glass:

Upper, middle and lower playfields:

Love the green LEDs. I really think this one will make TPA at some point. Lots of folks want it, including me.

Thanks for sharing the pics. What a great table. The lighting looks super. And I'm sure you've heard me say it before but...best backglass ever!

Wow! That's a game that really benefits from coloured LEDs. Looks to be in fantastic condition too.

Yeah I'm really happy with this table and thanks - glad you like the pics. I am really pleased with how this looks with LEDs and the UV lights are a great addition than the stock white.
I will post more pics soon including the cabinet
I was thinking of adding green star posts that light up but I would need to drill holes to put lights in there so not sure I want to muck with that even though that would look SICK - or did you mean just green plastic posts, S_K?

I really love playing this game I must admit it is REALLY fun - I will never tire of the 3 tier playfield ever - but it's a ball drainer for sure so if you get irritated with tables like this, this pin may not be for you. But this makes it really challenging because you really have to use nudging in your tactics - but this Gottlieb is a BEAST - I feel like I'm going to pull something just to get this pin to MOVE!

Star post lights like I got. green star posts dont light very bright and are a different tint than green LEDs. No need to drill holes they fit under the star post.

would look good under clear star posts

How do you install them on a playfield without making holes to hide the wiring??

Theres usually a hole close by out of the way of the ball path.

I see what you mean. Some of the star posts have this, some are not close to a hole.
Thanks!

Typically you would use them on the slings and feed the wire behind the kicker, back under the playfield.
