    Just got my spots today.

    Only installed one of four so far so I can dial in the right color (too yellow out of the box for me).

    Edit : not sure if I should leave out the factory post spotty. Makes it look so open now!

    All 4 with no post spots

    Edit2: playing with the led color.

    Not sure about the warmer color on the left but thought I’d try it anyway. Makes it a little green

    Nah it’s ok. Nothing to do with the sling spots really just I’d seen some other tron owners put in yellow leds so was interested to see what it would look like.

    As those are square you might be able to pass them diagonally through the hole before they are screwed into the switch.

    How wide are they corner to corner?

    Quoted from TimeBandit:

    Well, cancel the bally/WMS version. It was a nice idea, but I overlooked that the sling switches on those are riveted to the bracket. No one is going to bother drilling rivets to install. Oh well. Sigh. Still good for Data East so I'll run the narrows for them.

    Would there be any difference between what you’d be making for the data east ones vs Wms/Bally?

    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:

    Are the SlingSpot still available to purchase? and how did they look in the TWD, any pics?

    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.
