Quoted from BigDan:Can someone tell me what Pinbot says the first time you send a ball into the Pinbot mini play field?
It sounds like "Radiate corporal staircase"

Quoted from Morydees:Long overdue but I finally got around to installing some Comet Pinball "Matrix" LED strips that MustangPaul recommended. It's always bugged me how imbalanced/dark the left side of the game was and rather than just toss a few purple strips in there, I decided to light the ramp. This was done by strategically placing strips below it at a distance that would diffuse the light and not show the individual LEDs. I originally started with white but the bleed off was too jarring so switching to purple gave me a nice side glow and lit the ramp just fine. I documented the whole thing and may post a separate thread if there's any interest.
Anyway, had I known about Art's new frosted strips it would have been much easier but I'm stoked with how it came out. Like Paul said, his pricing/products/service are top notch. While I was in there I also lit up the flippers (3SMD LED), gave the pop bumper area some attention and finally got a crystal clear, zero flicker LED setup to work on the helmet lights. Productive weekend!

Your game looks fantastic! +1 for Art being the man, great innovative stuff and an even greater person!
I threw 4 color changers in the face inserts on the speaker panel...looks niiiice and ads a bit of animation to the bg area. 
Quoted from lyonsden:I'm thinking of make a few plug and play kits of my interactive shuttle ramp and face lighting.

I already have one request, and I *think* I can do them for around $100 (plus shipping), but I am probably a month or two away from getting everything together to make these. Just PM me if you are interested.
Sign me up for a kit! Ill try and find u at Zapcon and chew your ear a bit about it...
Quoted from InfiniteLives:Can some one snap a pic of the connectors around j135. There are 2 connects and 3 sets of header pins all the same size and I forgot to label them when I took out the solenoid driver board. Couldnt figure it out from the pdf of the manual
Hope this is what youre looking for

Quoted from Scoot:I have the most perfect shooting BOP except for the plunger skill shot. When I full plunge, the ball will rattle around half way and drop down. A half plunge gives me less and a light plunge gives me about the same. It seems I can't get over 100k no matter how different I plunge. I have completely cleaned the plunger, rubber wheels, and wire guide. The plunger is aligned dead center, and I even tried a stronger spring with no luck. Not sure what I need to do to get the ball to go all the way down the wire guide. Any suggestions? [quoted image]
No, there is no purple lighting in my BOP. It's the topper reflecting off the playfield.
Check for a broken weld on the wireform. A spot on mine broke loose and caused the same issue you’re describing

Quoted from Brewchap:My friend just bought a BOP and I was looking at updating the game ROM. I found on the IPDB that there is 5 difference ROM's. Is one better than another, what bugs do they have, What's everyone running?
I think im running L7, cant remember for sure but the only bug i know of is that the game over music will cut out if the face needs to rotate back to home at the end of game. If head is already at home the music plays fine.
