So I ripped into my Starship Troopers to begin tearing it down for a full shop job, re-rubber, cliffy's, and LED kit (Yes, I know I just dumped half of the machines value in time/parts but I LOVE it so far)....

The main reason for the tear down was that it was clear it NEVER has had a shop job since the factory. EVERY single GI bulb in the upper half way burnt out because they ALL have to be accessed topside because it is all braided/stapled wires underneath.

I can see why people say this thing is a beast to teardown. 16 Flashers and 5 switches all on the ramp that is ONE PIECE! (Yes, I said it, ONE piece for both ramps, see below).

Lots of zip ties to cut underneath the playfield so you can pull off the big one piece ramp with everything this is rivited to it.

Anyways, Enjoy a few good pics and I hope to have this beast finished up tonight when I get home from work. 5 hours in so far (but I'm taking my time, drinking beers, and doing it RIGHT!)

Thanks for the offer... I only have one broken plastic but it is the REALLY small one underneath the right side of the left ramp so it's no biggie (won't even be seen once assembled)

Tell me about it! That is BLINDING even as it was with the stock flasher.... To be honest I will purposely go for that blinding effect because it is a Live Fire Test Drill.... MADNESS!!!

ALL DONE!! Looks amazing!! Here are a few pics (but they don't do it justice)!

I will post a video that will probably look decent in a minute as well.

Thanks guys! I am very pleasantly surprised at the level of fun I got/get out of this game especially now that the colors on it really POP!

+1 to cointaker No Ghost Premium's.... I slapped in a couple regular LED's to see the difference in the ghosting and it's night vs day!
