Quoted from thewool:Looks sweet!
Will there be a second batch? Thanks.
Yep being done
Quoted from driph:Beautiful mod! From what we've seen so far, does anything on the LV appear to interfere with the placement or install?
Not from what I've seen .
Apron looks the same.
Think the LV is pretty much the same pin but with a few extra features.

I think this mod should have been one of the features of the LV.... simply because it looks like it was intended to be there in the first place. I think the best mods look like they were always designed to be there from the start. Without this mod, that shooter lane looks bare now. 
Quoted from Zablon:Is there a way to reverse the video trigger so that the tracker is going during the ball in play, rather than only when the ball is on the shooter switch? It seems backwards to me.
If you connected it to the middle connector of the switch, I'm pretty sure it would behave as you are describing.... but you still need the PCB connected to that connector also. However, I think it seems correct as is. The Weyland logo while the game is idle makes much better sense to me.

I get Weyland while I'm playing...I get tracker while the ball is sitting on the shooter switch. I assume what you are referring to is that while in attract mode it should be Weyland, which I agree with...or it should just alternate...but I still think it's backwards during gameplay.

I see your point. I guess it would be a lot more complicated to work something out where Weyland showed during attract but reversed during gameplay.

Which ever way I done it there would be someone who would think it should be done another way.
So Its the way it is.

Yeah that's what it looks like to me too. Can I be added to the list for the next round?

Yes... this is because the wires are backwards on the switch. You need to reverse the blue and black wires on the switch. The polarity wouldn't matter...except you are trying to use the 3rd prong like the tracker mod needs.
This is how it should be:

Quoted from javagrind888:As soon as I have a game in hand I'll be wanting one.
The correct answer is; I have the mod in my hand and now I really want the pin to put it in.

I just ordered mine, really looking forward to it...well, I should say that I am mostly looking forward to getting my Alien pinball machine first. This will be the first time the mods arrive before the actual machine does. Anyway, I didn't even know about this mod until I saw it on the Apron mod and asked EightBallTexas about it...he pointed me to this discussion topic. I wonder how many other great mods I have missed out on?
