It's All Your Fault FARSIGHT

[Carl Spiby]

The main reason for swapping to LED's to reduce load on the driver boards?

No just to play with lights I dont have this thing on all day.

I like the redkneck that F's them up bad on purpose, funny! Kinda a what not to do guide. I'll give it a look, I almost bought a dvd on system 11 restoration but on PINSIDE if it hasnt been asked you might be a redkneck

Those videos are hilarious

I'm really liking the look of those LEDs in the backglass!

Alright so i replaced all the star post and put in the rest of the lights in the backglass and got all the lenses and some GI lighting, what i didnt replace i wanted to keep that way so here it is!

Broke up the two red arrows with a red and yellow bulb.

Beautiful! Wish every table I bumped into got that kind of loving care. New lighting is super too.

 

[SKILL_SHOT]

Thanks I changed the flashers to super bright oranges instead of white, its so awsome but you cant see them in the pictures so NEW VIDEO soon

I was about to ask you about the LED flashers, are they as effective as normal flashers? Also what LED's have you installed in the playfield? Are they the superbright ones or standard? Also on that last photo did you put a yellow led under a red insert? Looks like it completely overcame the red if that's the case. I was wondering what happens if you put different colours under coloured inserts.

Looking really nice there SS.

I have super bright oranges in the ball launch cannons and orange in the artwork cannons on the table and red supers in the backglass cannons. I used cointaker PREMIUM 2 LEDs for everything wich are suppose to prevent ghosting. Yes I put a yellow under the red lense to make it look different. Got to get a video up today

Still no fix on 5X ? replacing the bulb not the answer ? Then we have to guess the connector is either loose or just plain faulty, does the light on your 5 X light ever work? (intermediate flashes) , or have you tried running a volt meter to see if power is being connected? I love the blue/ green LED scheme ,cant wait until you're ready to post another video.

 

[SKILL_SHOT]

5x worked when I bought it, its not the connector I reflowed the soder for the socket and the pin that runs the light next I have to get a voltometer and check for power and check the diode as there is one for every light on the board they plug into. Making VIDEO NOW!

 

[SKILL_SHOT]

Ok so I made a quick video with the LEDs in and for easier comparison I'll do the BEFORE and AFTER videos back to back.

Random Pic's I wanted to take
Here you can see even though the reflection of BIG GUNS is upside down it still looks like it says BIG GUNS.

Inside the cabinet now lights up like a christmas tree.
