It's All Your Fault FARSIGHT

Now that I got it apart GET CRAZY WITH MYLAR! Cant do this with BLADES! PINBALL PIONEER.

added to the inside of the playfield borders, most will be covered with plastics but the reflectiveness should help brighten the covered areas.

Even got the ball shooter lane.

OVER KILL?
Im going to give it a good waxing while its all apart too.

 

[SKILL_SHOT]

OK UPDATE!

 

[Kevlar]

Looking good SS, I assume you are only connecting the star posts to GI this time

 

[SKILL_SHOT]

Yes only hooked up to the GI. Not as bright as Id like

 

[Kevlar]

I like them a lot, haven't seen them for sale anywhere over here.

 

[smooverr]

Wow that looks fantastic! Great work

 

[SKILL_SHOT]

getting all the things I wish i had the first time I tore it down. You can take the ball marks out of the metal. Brushed with wax, then waxed and polished.

Nice polishing SS. I did the same to mine but the ball marks come back straight away so better get used to 'em

 

[SKILL_SHOT]

So I got it all buttoned up! The greens dont look that great and I may switch in the amber star posts because the oranges look yellow, I wish they were brighter. I might order 4 blue star posts for under the slingshots and all clear star posts for when I put in warm wihte GI LED's just to mix it up and keep it fresh.

That Big Guns is lookin' almost too nice to play.

I have 2 extra SPL's (star post light) Thinking about where to add them. I still have to order sockets for my red flexs that will light up the buttons and ball lock saucers, but I have 3 extra red flexs so where should I put those hmmmm.....

 

[SKILL_SHOT]

Ok I placed 2 orders one for parts and the other for more lights after playing around with my flex bulbs I realized I can put these anywhere if I remove them from the base and solder on 2 wires, so I am going to put them in between the red and green guard targets 4 per side with reds on the red guards side and greens on the other this should illuminate the center of the playfield better and looks friggin sweet! I ordered 4 green flex 1 red flex because I have some from my last order 8 super bright white 555's for the skulls on the upper playfield and 2 in the middle between the slings and 2 orange 555's for the color transition in the same spot and a red 555 in the middle of those. My parts are 4 #44 sockets with 2 leads, 20 clear star posts if I ever want to swap them out and put all whites for a supper bright mode and 4 blue star posts for under the slings.

 

[SilverBallFiend]

Wow that looks sweet so far!

 

[SKILL_SHOT]

So I had a thought after a flex 44 started to come out of the socket....theres 2 wires...positive and negative....!!!!BOOM! I can add 2 wires to these and put them where ever I want as long as its on a 6.3V line so I took one apart.

tested it and it works! So my order is justified I will have all kinds of lights ALL OVER! PINBALL PIONEER!

 

[SKILL_SHOT]

I hooked up the modified RED flex 44's now theyre just RED flex's I didnt have to figure out a way to secure them under the ball lock saucers because they wedged inside perfectly tight!

theyre really bright I LIKE IT!

You need to buy a tripod, or put the beer down before snapping pics!

 

[SKILL_SHOT]

Its the low light and I had it in the wrong camera mode, it looks clear on my cameras display but when you blow it up Ugh! I'll reshoot a pic with my tripod I have one.
