    Anyone done a Ghostbusters yet?

    For some weird reason I really dislike traditional spot lights. Although, I don't have a ton of air balls on my GB, the right spot light seems to get hit from time to time, which turns it out of whack. So I'm thinking that the SlingSpots might be a nice alternative. However, the spots on GB are also pointing up the playfield more, so in order to replace them, I'd suspect that more than just the SlingSpots would be needed. Perhaps this is where the Snipers would come into play?

    So, also looking for thoughts/suggestions on where good places to add some Snipers.

    If you've done a GB and have some pics, please feel free to post 'em!

    I look forward to seeing more of TimeBandits work!

    Regarding GB, you can tap into GI and add sockets, Strips, Circles or pads in places.
    I added colored flashers in center of Pops, Green Flasher behind Marsh mellow Man,
    and Ice Blue Strip in the Firehouse....

    Had my first sling spot die

    I did atleast have a couple of spares to replace it with.

    I found that with how they are attached the screws can grind thorough some of the circuit board and can lead to shorting.
    I've had to put some small bits of plastic insulator to stop it from occurring.

    Quoted from pintuck:

    That would be a negative (unless you can get ahold of mike via another method).

    He posted a while back that he was focused on work projects but then has some time for pinball stuff but havnt heard anything yet.
