Something you may want to consider. I added cabaret lighting to the top arch. I used amber #44 bulbs along with the amber sleeves. Adds a nice touch to an area that is kind of dark during play. Photos with flash and without.

Your middle apron already has the holes in it. I drilled the holes in the playfield for the sockets. Wiring was a little tricky, it’s best that you tap into the positive and negative where the lights start under the PF. You can’t just find the nearest light socket and tap into it. You will notice some weird wiring going on under the playfield, some of the sockets are wired backwards for some reason.

Naw, I’ll just hijack your thread. I show the mods I have done to my machine. Starting with the “special lights”, I put green 44’s under each one. This colors up the playfield much better than standard clear, plus it makes it easier for me to teach people how to play the game.

I also put green 44’s inside the bumper caps and a 44 amber underneath the 5000 when lit.

I already mentioned how I added the amber cabaret lighting, I also added a light under each saucer with a red 44 that turns on when you complete three in a row. In addition, I put blinking 455‘s under each arrow pointing at the saucers and red 44’s in the special inlane arrows. You won’t be sorry if you do this.

Finally, I chromed the backbar and polished the lower apron and bars below to an almost mirror finish. Painted inside cabinet and head trim.

Tomorrow I will show you what I think is the best way to play Gulfstream and how to set up your game to play like this in add a ball mode. Here is my custom card.
