Quoted from paratrooper:

Just got done installing my Rock Custom Pinball Under Cabinet LED LIght kit for my TRON and all I can say is WOW!

Thank you I really appreciate the feedback on my kit's so very few have actually installed them yet.

Quoted from PC-Pin-NC:

Does it work with Tron Pro and how much is it? Thanks!

It does work with tron pro. I just started a website so please try to order through that we will see how it goes.

I am not full prepped to sell led's so you will not be able to order any atm.

Quoted from dannunz:

Arcade upkeep also has a kit that interacts with gameplay.

Thanks I just checked out these kits looks like they have done 2 kits and want $175 ea or a DIY kit for $155. I am charging $80-$100 for a complete plug and play kit that will take you at most 15min to Install. I'm sure their kits work wonderfully and is good quality. I am trying to provide a great product at a reasonable price. Buy theirs and mine and report back on the quality and ease of install. If you don't like mine compared to theirs send mine back to me for a full refund. You will see the difference.

Thanks,
Rock

Lots of idea's but time is limited unfortunately. Thanks to everyone trying out my kits, I am glad you guy's are enjoying them. I am testing several new kits today so I may have new video's to post later. Please if you want a kit order from my site. Most of my items are not available yet but my kits are. I am still creating my site it will be a few weeks before it's complete.

Thanks,

Wow thanks everyone! I just got back from creating a bunch of new kits. I would like to thank Pete and Julie for letting me do some testing on their amazing collection.

Quoted from RonB:

Would love to see The Shadow in action!

I made some video's and I will try to get them posted. I dont know if I have Shadow or not as my camera died. I can tell you Shadow turned out very nice lots of Purple, Red, Green, and Blue. I will have my new video's posted sometime in the morning.

Just checked my orders looks like I will be busy tomorrow, thanks for the support.

The best way to order is through my website I will post my new kits tomorrow. My site isnt 100 percent yet but undercad orders can be placed. I will say when I put my led's up try the 4-smd they are amazing. I do not plan on listing a crap ton of different led's just some good ones at a reasonable price.

OR Stern STLE

If you want this kit Pm me I will let you know how we can proceed.

#32 10 years ago

Posting some video's now if you subscribe to my youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/user/pinballled

more coming.

MN-Flipper - I told you I would sell you a test kit and I will hold true to that even though I am fully Tested. If I give my word I don't go back. This is yours for the test price and thank you for the willingness to take a chance on one of my test kits.

Future test kits will be at a little discount and A $20.00 refund will be given once a video is supplied to me in a windows movie maker form. For those of you testing now our original deals are in place as agreed upon.

Thanks,
Rock

#36 10 years ago

Wow, Earthshaker! I actually redesigned it. I will list it in the next week. Thank you for reminding me. I should add TFTC as well.

Quoted from ArcadeUpkeep:

I just want to make our prices clear. The kits we have for $175 are our deluxe under cabinet kits which interact with both the regular flashers in the game and the games GI adding both under the game. Our flasher only kits are mostly $75. I'm sorry if that wasn't clear before, I'll try to fix it. Other than that, nice job and great looking kits!
Thanks,
Arcade Upkeep

Thanks bud, I checked out your stuff looks good. I stayed away from the Gi because it interferes with the light show too much, color blends and appears white or weird yellow/greens. I am going to be testing an opto interrupter to cut power to the gi when the flashers go off, but this will be an expensive option as i'm sure you already explored. I am more than likely staying away from the DIY kits as most do not have the skill level or time to install, I know it seems easy to you and I but it is a problem for others. Plug and play all the way for me!

Keep it up.

Nice I just realized on my site I am selling at my holiday pricing!!! I was not ready for my site to be announced but it's ok all your orders will be filled today.

My everyday price is $90.00 for most kits this is the price most of you have paid before .
My new simple kits are $75.00 (for those of you who have ordered from my website if you would like the simple kit instead I will refund you $15.00) your choice. Just send me an email through my site.

Been working on a simplified version of this kit. Just completed testing and the results are:

Simple kit:

-Produces the same light show
-Is easier to install believe it or not!
-Throws almost the same amount of light using about 2/3 of the led's (the difference is not that noticeable)
-This I can produce cheaper
-I am now switching to this on my machines
-This kit is not lift safe like my regular kit. You will need to remove to use a lift but it removes in 30 seconds and reinstalls in about 2 minutes.

I am producing these for you as inexpensively as possible and I am trying to keep it that way. If i find a better way to reduce cost while producing the same high quality show, I will. The savings will be passed directly to you not my pocket.

Listing new kits now LOTR, SM, IM, AFM, TOM,
Test kits for FH, TOTAN, and some others are available pm me for details

Thanks,
Rock

#42 10 years ago
Quoted from RonB:

So these kits are not interchangeable? Meaning one Bally to another?
I couldn't find any info posted by you as to what all is in the kit. Is there a connector that interfaces with the flasher circuit, or do you tap into the wiring harness?
Thanks!

These kits are not interchangeable- I work very hard to produce the right show for each title they are unique to that title and in no way could you plug say an Medieval Madness Kit into a Twilight Zone and have it even work. There would also be risk to your boards. If you want a title I do not offer I will make it for you as a test kit and refund you $20.00 once a good useable video is supplied to me. Only 1 test kit is available per machine I do not have designed or tested.

I connect directly to the boards so it is a ultra easy install you only have to remove the backglass and speaker panel. The playfield glass never comes off!!! I designed this so my 12 year old daughter could install in 15 min. I kid you not it is very easy it's ridiculous others can comment on that.

Thanks,
Rock

#45 10 years ago

They are being listed now. They should be up within the hour. In my opinion these are the way to go if your machines do not move around often with lifts. I am putting the simplified version on my machines that do not currently have kits installed. I did one next to my TZ and the difference to me is very minimal. But once you guys get the simple kits you can judge for yourself and let others know. Many of you have already installed kits so I recommend trying a simple kit these may be well worth the savings but that is up to you.

Thanks,
Rock

#49 10 years ago

Looks like they have good stuff too. I only seen the 2 kits but I didn't look hard. If you get mine and have their's report the differences for everyone and which is more appealing to you an why. I would refrain from putting down anyone's work, their's or mine. I am sure they work just as hard on their kits as I do on mine. I know mine are great, but I cannot comment on theirs as I have not seen or installed one. Either way it is a value at the current prices for what it does for these machines. With more knowledge people can get the kit that best suits their needs lets keep up the good information and be open and honest.

Thanks,

#52 10 years ago

I send the kits out with double sided tape. On mine I have some using the tape and others using hot glue. The thing is I do not want to damage a pin in any way so I have gone this route. Its not perfect but it works well for everyone and that is where my focus is. I have tried many differnt ways and they all just add to the cost with little additional benefit and in most cases a harder install.

So my current set up is easy, works well, and inexpensive. If any of you who have installed please let me know if there are any issues. I have had some in the past but none since the new design as of last month. I am getting nothing but great positive feedback so far so I see no issues going forward.

#55 10 years ago

Once I actually get my website 100 percent. This is all a little premature but ok. I need to nail down my prices and build my inventory. A discount to pinsiders will be added.

#56 10 years ago
Quoted from gweempose:

I ordered a Shadow kit last night. It was $80, so I'm not sure if it's the simple kit or full kit. Either way, I'm looking very forward to checking it out.

That is the full kit. If you want a simple kit I will refund you $15.00 just let me know. I need to rename the simple kit any idea's.

#64 10 years ago
Quoted from Zitt:

My concerns with these kits are that I take my machines to shows and charity events once or twice a year.
I'd need a kit which can quickly be installed / removed when transporting; given they can't be under the machine when I put the lift table under it for leg removal / trailer loading.
Those that have installed these kits; do you take your machines off location?

I have been told it works with lifts if just a little care is taken. Pics for you to decide.

#65 10 years ago
Quoted from BillE:

Can this be customized so that only certain colors are used?I think for LOTR the rainbow of colors doesn't go good, but would be cool if it was only orange, yellow and red like fire. I'd get it for sure then.

Anything can be done! It cannot be done quickly or easily. You are talking about a custom job and those can get costly i am afraid to say.

#67 10 years ago

I will have it designed by Tuesday. It will then be sent to my tester approved and listed shortly.

Quoted from The_Dude_Abides:I'd love to have one for Star Trek Pro they look great.

#72 10 years ago
Quoted from muttonboy:

I really want one of these kits, they look really well integrated. I've always stayed away from undercab lights as they just didn't feel like part of machine to me.I agree with this though, I'd buy one if it didn't have so much color out of place. Was really expecting a pulsing red, or at least more red orange yellow. There isn't a single blue light in the game is there?

I have a deal for you and you alone. Buy my kit, install it. Try it out for a week and if you are not glad you bought it ship it back to me for a full refund. I will also pre purchase the postage for you to send it back to me. In return I want your feedback on this forum open and honest. If its not for you no big deal let everyone know! Make sure you leave a note with your purchase.

Quoted from muttonboy:

lol, quite a salesman.... but no thanks. I'll be in for a STTNG and a TSPP for sure, but just my opinion blue doesn't belong in LOTR... Its the only pin I won't LED either.And I'm not bashing, I think it is the best I've seen, all of them. I usually HATE threads like these that call something the best...Also, from what I see, I would REALLY like to see you put out some backbox kits. There are some really good ones available but they are too expensive imo.

Maybe a good salesman but more that is I believe in my products. I am confident that if you tried it you would love it and it would all make sense. You make some good points but there is more to it than make this one orange that one blue. The kit needs to work and jive with all the modes and this is the tricky part. Keep up the ideas constructive criticism is helpful.

Quoted from pinballplusMN:

If You have an idea for protecting And Mounting the leds for heavy route And rental use that would be awesome. Prehaps the leds can be enclosed in a plástic tube. Thanks And Will be buying regardless.

I will be working on this. Once I have a on route kit I will let you know. I will need to send it to an operator for testing.

Quoted from Dr-Willy:

I'd be in for one for a metallica, if you need a tester let me know!

Thanks for the offer. I am doing a mettalica install Saturday or Sunday so that kit will be complete and made available. I will have 5-10 of the Mettalica for sale on Sunday/Monday.

Rock, I'm definetly going to be in for an LOTR, but waiting on your ACDC version as well. Shipping to Canada is a f'n killer!! Great work bud!! Any idea when ACDC will be ready to go??

Thank you sir.

AC/DC will be available in 2 weeks or less. I would suggest waiting until then before you order. Shipping to Canada is $8.00-$12.00 depending. On my site I have a $15.00 shipping to Canada but the difference will be refunded so no worries.

Going over some test kit videos tonight I will let you know the results. It may be tomorrow morning before I post. The Shadow video will be up as well

#110 10 years ago
Quoted from Spankey:

There is a bayonet and wedge LED in the bag. Not sure what those were for.

Those are just a sample of the led's I am having manufactured and will be selling. I will work on the instructions thanks for your feedback I appreciate it. I am glad you enjoy your kit.

Rock

#112 10 years ago
Quoted from Spankey:

Oh, one more question. Is yellow a doable color? Noticed with Sandman it flashes green. Didn't see any yellow, but The Shadow video has yellow.

It is doable but it adds to cost and takes away from this being lift safe, it also changes the installation.

Rock

#118 10 years ago
Quoted from Spankey:

Rock. Thanks for all your help. I didn't realize the adhesive strips you included in the package was for the actual LED strip. Add that in future instructions. I'm up and running now and no longer disappointed. LOL Posted a pic of the lights on my FB page and my friends are digging it. As am I.

I'm happy it was a quick and easy fix. I do need to make my instructions a little more clear. All the feedback really helps the future of this kit.

Quoted from Rascal_H:

I don't see a way to buy the DM kit. Looks awesome in the video and it's like my favorite game. Maybe I'm just having trouble on my phone.

No your Phone is fine. The test on DM was great but there is still a little more work I need to do before I make this available Paratrooper is my tester on this and from talking with him and all the video's he sent me this looks to be a great kit. I will post when this is available.

#120 10 years ago

Quoted from wxforecaster:

Rock's hat is awesome.

That is a vintage Fedora from the 20's my friend. I love my hat!

Quoted from MustangPaul:

The only way that could be easier to install is by having someone else do it for you. If I may suggest... a wireless mic. for you to wear would help tremendously with what your saying to be understood.

I keep saying it is very easy no one believes me until they put it on. I have issues with my instructions and other minor things on my end but I hope this help's.

Quoted from Shoot_Again:

Looks good.I really think Cointaker did a great job on my RBION. Backbox kit and under cab lighting effects. I did not think this would add to the game at all. Now that I have a machine with it I stand corrected.

Oh it adds a lot to the game. I just am not a fan of cointakers kit just because they want you to solder or twist to whatever flasher or insert you want. This type of install is why we create the lightshow for each machine and send it to you plug and play, you don't even take off the glass. Xaver and I spend a lot of time figuring out the best lightshow for each title. This is all provided for less than most other kits that make you work at the install. Dont get me wrong cointakers kit is great but you are the one doing the work and design as far as I can tell.

Quoted from flynnibus:

Any plans to adapt your kits to drive the speaker LED kits as well? Like you have on your ACDC in the video?

We are now working with the original speaker light seller to adapt our connections to interact with there speaker lights. Doing this just makes more sense as opposed to us providing speaker light kits ourselves. This way we can save you guys a lot of money by being compatible with every kit that they have already sold! We are focused on you guys and your wallets not ours. We are both testing and this should be coming soon im guessing about 2 weeks.

I have a kit for this I am just not a fan of it. If I dont love the kit I do not put it on my site sorry.

#167 10 years ago
Quoted from DugFreez:

This should work out to be a nice agreement for all parties involved, PinballToppers.com, Rockcustompinball.com and the people who buy products from both.If things work out as planned, a speaker light kit from Pinball Toppers can still work normally, just as they always have, as a remote controlled stand alone mod. The under-cabinet kits from Rock Custom Pinball will also work as they are intended, as a stand alone interactive under-cabinet light kit.BUT...if you have them both, you will be able to hook them together so they are both lit the same and both interactive with the games lighting. Having them work together or having them work independently of each other is up to the user and can be changed easy at any time.

I agree. As for my part as soon as everything is worked out I will make it so everyone who has already purchased a kit from me will have the option to get a compatible adapter from me so if they have pinball toppers light kits they to can chose to have them interactive. I will be starting a new thread when it is all worked out and ready to go.

Quoted from Shoot_Again:

I did not have to install the kit so I was only speaking off of first hand experience of end result.
Plug and play always wins in this game. IMO

Yep Plug and Play is the only way to go. That's how we do it.

My basic kit is a single strip as mentioned above. I am very pleased you find my kit superior to the CT kit. I can do a diy kit easy enough just let me know if you would prefer that.

Sounds like several of you are installing today if you guys need anything let me know I will be available most of the day.

Its on there the star trek kit works for Le, pro, premium. The same plumbing is there for all but some features removed. My kit works the same on the Pro as the Le For sure. That said it would almosy have to be the same on the premium maybe someone else can confirm.
Guys orders are shipped from this weekend I upgraded a lot of orders due to presidents day. You all should have them for this weekend aside from my international guys. It has taken on average 10-14 days overseas.
Thanks for your continued support especially all you returning customers.

#219 10 years ago
Quoted from ecurtz:

You may be taking advantage of this already, but the TRON LE has the RGB signals for the ramps available as does anyone with one of my ramp kits installed in their PRO...

No I am not using those because it would only work for an LE. As you know this can easily be done with the LE.

Your wire kit is impressive but I have not seen it in person so I cannot determine a plug and play connection point. Piggybacking off your mod I would need your approval as well.

#221 10 years ago

Hey thanks Mark I have an easy disconnect outside the cab so this should not be an issue. Dont want the neighbor's to think you and the wife are fighting with light sabers or anything. Hope that helps

#224 10 years ago

There is more to it than that. Depending on the game I tie into flashers, Motors, controlled inserts, ect... Do you guy's want me to provide a cheaper diy kit?? I have no problem with that as my easiest standard kit has over 50 solder connections I have to make.

#227 10 years ago

Dude the mail is not running their?? I sent that kit out a while ago didn't I?? Whats tracking say stuck in snow?

#256 10 years ago

Man life would be good if that was all my kit was. Maybe others will enlighten you.

#261 10 years ago

Thanks Guy's for the kind words.

Several new kits should come available this week, some of them are Avengers, X-man, Stern Indiana Jones, BDK, DE star wars, JP, WWF, Roller coaster Tycoon, Fish Tales, WCS94, FG, HS2, Wh20

Some of these I am still waiting in testers but they have been designed and sent out most have been installed. Also my website provider is having issues today I hope they get it sorted soon.

Quoted from Mudflaps:

Sorry if this has been addressed, but does the ACDC kit work with the Pro?

Yes I will update my site so that is more clear. Thanks

Quoted from Kevlar:

Which speaker lights are you referring to please?

I take requests and this was one of them. I actually build a harness for pinball toppers light kits we will be listing these soon. I am not producing my own speaker lights as an already great product exists. However I do make them for wms/bally since pinball toppers do not make them for those machines. It will be awile before I begin to produce these you guys keep me busy enough with the undercab stuff. Thanks for all the support.

Quoted from Bigbossfan:

Any vid for TSPP yet Chris?

I talked with my tester not long ago. He is trying his best to get a video tonight. We will see I will post it after I get it up on youtube.

#275 10 years ago
Quoted from ToucanF16:

I bought 6 kits from Chris (CFTBL, FT, TZ, TOM, CV, WH2O). We all know this is the best undercabinet lighting mod out there. Chris has fantastic personal service, lightening fast communication, great instructions and fast delivery. KUDOS!

Quoted from Bigbossfan:

I recently added the interactive speaker lights on my LOTR LE. Have to say they add a lot to the game in conjunction with the undercabinet lighting. Super job Chris!!

Thanks guy's.

Bigboss- Still no word on TSPP

I hope a few videos come my way today but we shall see. If anyone knows a good way for people to send me video's please let me know that is most of the hangup.

#284 10 years ago
Quoted from Manic:

After my earlier criticism... consider me a convert

This is great to hear.

Thank you for your criticism and actually taking the leap and trying a kit for yourself. Our kit's get better through your feedback. If there is an improvement we can make trust me we will make it.

Wanted to let you guy's know RCP is a 2 man team myself and Xaver. Xaver handles all that I cannot and has been working on some cool new things that we hope to release in the near future once we are 100% satisfied.

#285 10 years ago

Some of you have been asking for a while now about speaker lights. We are getting closer to a finished product. You can see them in action on this thread http://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/rock-custom-pinball-speaker-light-sneak-peek-and-gauging-interest

#287 10 years ago

Thanks Bud, I am actually working on HS2, my test kit didn't go the way I wanted it to so back to design and machine test.

#290 10 years ago
Quoted from aalucero:

That is awesome. Would make a great decal or poster.

Yes this was designed by John in Colorado. He actually sells this decal on ebay its called pinballer. He was nice enough to let us use it for a shirt and we altered it a bit but came out very nice I think. Wait don't you do graphics work? I may have a project for you...

#295 10 years ago
Quoted from fly:

I would like to ask what is in the kit? (90$)

What you see in the package i send my kit in is - constructed led's, A plug and play wiring harness, some decent instructions. What you don't see is my service.

Quoted from pmWolf:

The prettiest lights ever.
...And a hassle-free connector.
...and lots and lots of research done by one of the nicest pinsiders out there.

Well said LOL. Thanks Buddy! how many kit's are you up to now?

Sorry for the lack of updates recently I have been doing a few custom project's one of which I am very excited about. This has consumed much of my free time. I have some new designs but nothing will be posted on my site for a few day's. If I have missed one of your pm's or email's please let me know.

#299 9 years ago

Pinball Decals announced an under-cab kit. Here is a link http://pinballdecals.com/OptifluxCabinetSurroundFlashKitsPage.html
Looks like they put some time and effort into this.

#301 9 years ago

Wires under the cab are a very bad thing especially for people with cats. But they put a ton of thought and effort into it so it is pretty cool to me. I just don't know if this is a diy meaning you need to create the right fit for the light show, or if they have done it. Either way a well thought out and solid effort and seeing what they have going on the price is not out of line. I like the fact that they took the back of the machine into consideration as I did.

Very happy you enjoy these kits but mine may not be right for everyone. I believe even you once questioned my show design.

Quoted from Manic:

I like their pricing on the little cars for CFTBL. $130 for all the wrong colors... want the pink and white one? It's mysteriously DOUBLE the price

That's not cool.

#304 9 years ago

Hey Rob

Funny you should mention the cats.... They love and hanging wires under a machine. One of my first designs was destroyed by a cute little kitten from this I redesigned to try to eliminate this and it has not been an issue since. The owner of the kit that got destroyed by his cat has not had an issue with my new design. I have done X-Men and I think I have done Avengers I will check.

#306 9 years ago
Quoted from John_I:

What keeps the strip from getting damaged when you lift the machine with a pinball cart and/or slide it in and out of a vehicle?

The undercab lights wrap around the edges of the bottom of the cab. This provides more than enough room to effectively use a lift without damaging the lighting. To move around the house you do not need to unplug anything but if you are transporting or folding down the head you will need to unplug 1 connector. It takes about a minute to prep for transport.

If you need pics or more details my email is [email protected]

#310 9 years ago

Lol, awesome! I am glad I have you guys to help me remember what I have done. I do have books of notes but who likes looking back at notes. Yes I have many kits done that are not listed I will try to update this weekend. Thanks guys!

Quoted from aalucero:That's when you know Rock is making these kits round the clock he can't remember what ones he has done. Congratz on the growing business Rock.

Thanks buddy. I do as much as I can I have a hard time sitting still but I do sleep sometimes.

#311 9 years ago

Heading out to PATZ hope to meet some of you out there. Orders may be delayed a day or two due to the show but I will extend a special. Free T-shirt with standard under-cab purchase, I have L, XL, and a few 2XL this is not a shirt to wear to family friendly events!

Quoted from spfxted:

Will you be at Allentown?

No sorry, I was hoping to send my partner out there but it isn't going to work out (Day Job's). I would have loved to attend myself and meet all of you guy's.

Quoted from Manic:

Wear the Fedora... that's your *actual* trademark dude Have a great time and don't forget to sell some stuff!

Got her on bud! I sold my T2 in just a couple hrs of the doors opening could not believe it, I had an I really want to keep this price on it. Luckily I have 2 more waiting for me. I think I will always have a T2 ready to work on its just a fun game for me to tear apart and make stuff for it.

#318 9 years ago
Quoted from JCJP:

Ok just noticed you have one for Star Wars lol . So just FREDDY . Thanks

Still need to do Freddy HS2, JR, Taxi, most system 11. If you are near the Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo area let me know I need your help to get these kits made.

Still at the show so I will be slow with communication.

Thanks

Well, I'm about to buy one for my Iron Man. Can't wait to see it live. Thanks Rock!

My pleasure. Let us know what you think after the install. Also if you have Pinball Toppers speaker lights I do build an additional harness to drive them.

#326 9 years ago

Thanks for posting the video of Pinball Toppers speaker lights in action on IM. Your cobbled video looks better than most of mine LOL. I hate making video's.

Need some more video's of Pinball toppers speaker lights driven by my harness, please post them.

#327 9 years ago

WWFRR completed kit

#334 9 years ago
Quoted from Grinder901:

Rock, ever thought of doing a Jurassic Park kit? Buddy of mine saw my IM light show today and loved it and wanted one for his JP.

I have had this and several other DE and Sega's designed for months. I just have had no time to do the test installation. The same goes for most system 11's.

I have several great people willing to let me test on their machines just need the time.

I hope to update my site with some new kits that are complete soon.

Thanks
Chris

#341 9 years ago
Quoted from Grinder901:

Rock, I modified it a bit. In the bottom of my IM, in the back, there are these four holes with plastic screens over them. I used an xacto knife, cut a small hole in the second hole underneath and instead of having wires running down the back of my pin, I have them hooked up inside the cabinet. Everyone who sees the light show is amazed. Job well done.

I have thought about making just an undercab kit. I have had a few people like you who do not want to light the wall behind the machine.

What do you guys think? Is another version needed?

#343 9 years ago
Quoted from Britt-in-VA:

Thanks, will look into it.

If you have specific questions I am more than happy to answer. We made the install very easy, not 1 person has not been able to successfully install.

Quoted from JCJP:

Ike would like the back and the bottom !! Don't for get about Star Wars !!! Thanks

Since last weekend was a bust I hope this one goes better. I plan on doing DE SW and JP and hope to do BBB but that is a stretch. This will all depend on the day job.

#345 9 years ago

DE Star Wars and Jurassic Park are complete. I should be able to do all DE pins now.

Those of you who were inquiring about these kits now is the time to let me know you want one. These will not be listed on our site until next weekend. I can send invoices.

Thanks
Chris

#346 9 years ago

Star wars. Yeah im bad at making video's feel free to send me good ones to [email protected]

#349 9 years ago
Quoted from LITZ:

Rock my T2 was finally delivered by the shipping company today and I really like how your undercab kit current illuminates the back wall! I would not change a thing. It looks awesome

Thanks Adrian, I have several reports of successful of show trips and sales but none across county. So was it on your T2 and did it make the trip from AZ to Alaska?

GNR video

#352 9 years ago
Quoted from Grinder901:

My buddy is def interested in the JP kit. So is it available on your site?

Not yet, I will have it on the site this weekend along with a few other kits. I am out of town until Saturday.

#354 9 years ago
Quoted from Grinder901:

Ok Rock. I let my bud know about the kits being available through email. I hope he contacts you

Hey thanks man, much appreciated.

-Update-

DE Star Wars, Jurassic Park, and Guns N Roses will be up on our site tomorrow night. Shipping will be a little slow due to the holiday weekend.

#356 9 years ago
Quoted from LITZ:

I added 2 vids that demonstrate some pretty sad ball 1 game play (lots of bricked shots) a special award with a double jackpot. No supers though. The other vid is the fantastic light show at the end of the game thanks to Rock's under cab lights and Duke6's topper idea. I hope more ppl will pimp out their T2 and post their results on Pinside!
https://www.flickr.com/photos/adriandmd/

Thanks for posting the video. Great looking T2! Is my under-cab harness controlling the topper lights?

#358 9 years ago

The Getaway HS2 is now complete. This one took a while sorry.

#359 9 years ago

Added speaker light harness to the website. http://www.rockcustompinball.com/#!interactive-speaker-light-harness/cyqt

Had the day off so I took some time for myself and made me a kit for my kids Star Wars Episode 1. This and RFM will be available in about a week depending on some parts coming in.

My kids love this machine and really enjoy the new lighting, I could not keep them off it today.

#363 9 years ago
Quoted from peaceboy666:

thanks rock 4 the tspp kit and t shirt and especially for the help when i couldnt get them to work at first, need to start game 4 them to kick in lol DOH!!!

Hey my pleasure bud. I will try to make this clearer in my instructions. Some of my kits are on all the time it all depends on what I need to tie into to make the best show that makes sense with the gameplay throughout all the modes and multi-balls, ect..

My newest kit has a constant light and that is on SWep1 which by the way parts came in and I now have some available. These will only available through pm's for now I will not have a chance to update my site for a bit.

Very impressive! I'll be placing an order. You're probably all set on test-machines, but if there are any in my collection that you want to create a test kit for, just lmk.

Thanks! I would like to do your SOF, not a lot of demand for that one but I would like to do it no the less. I need to do some Gottlieb only problem is I need to in home test kits. Pm me if you would like the SOF Kit. These are not so much test kits at this point what I really need is usable video.

Quoted from luvthatapex2:

It's quite amazing the number of different manufactures games you've made undercab lighting for. Well done and professional. Keep going man!

Thanks Buddy, Did you ever get the ultimate kit on Wooly?

Sorry we have not updated in a while we do have new kits designed I will try to post some new video later. We have been very busy on custom works and new mods we probably will probably never be able to release Day jobs are a killer.

We will open up requests so if there is something you would like let us know. It is best to direct email [email protected]

Thanks,

IMVE is ready. Listed on the site today.

#378 9 years ago
Quoted from ChrisBardon:

I bought a SM a couple of weeks ago that had this kit on it, and the strips were damaged in the move so that only the backbox LEDs were connected. Seller asked Chris about a repair, and instead I got a whole new set of LED strips in the mail-great service! Installed the new lights last night though, and wow, that's pretty intense with the undercab as well. It's actually a little too much at times-there's no way to dial the brightness down, is there? It was actually giving people headaches when I had it connected. Could also be a matter of personal preference though, and might also work better in a slightly brighter gameroom (my basement is pretty dark). Probably not good for the kids though-I have a 2 year old who's much closer to the ground, so these are closer to eye level for him (and he already likes playing Spider-Man)
Has anyone ever run a switch to these so that you can turn the undercab lights on/off without getting behind the game? Might be a compromise to make it easier to have these on/off on demand. Simple enough to connect/disconnect from the back when you can get behind the machine, but not when it's right up against the wall.

Leds that are too bright is not a common problem. Dimmers can be added as well as a switch to turn the leds off. This would commonly be done as a customer request but added cost is involved. Feel free to pm me if you would like a dimmer harness made.

-Chris

#384 9 years ago
Quoted from GR8pinball:

The WOZ kit is my favorite so far. Thanks for prototyping this one with me, it looks awesome. I love the light show and really dig the green under glow!
I am glad you finally got a chance to work on this one, it was definitely worth the wait!
BTW Bandit loves it. Lol

My pleasure buddy always great to catch up a little. I was real happy we figured out the BSD so quickly. Thanks for letting me come back and check the fit, man that would have bugged me for a while.

So the debate we had about the constant glow, I went back home and studied it some more and decided it would be better for the kit with it on. After playing it for a while was the right call made? I know most kits its just not fitting but this one made so many other things work.

#385 9 years ago
Quoted from bigd1979:

Nice i like that theres always something on are the ones for tz like this ? I need one and the backbox mod for it .

Here is a video of the TZ backbox door mod. I know I have talked with you about it but a video so you can see. I design the kits best suited to the gameplay some have underglow and some do not. I can make all kits have an underglow rather easily but i feel the original design is the best.

On this backbox mod I typically have it set on a constant slow fade of colors or just White as the White really pops the whole thing off. This is a very simple plug and play mod, yes I can make it interactive but interaction is not the best in this instance a remote is. Wow, never thought I would say that.

#390 9 years ago
Quoted from Jesterfunhouse:

Just finished restoring a TAF and installed the undercab interactive lightshow as the final upgrade. It came out fantastic and the customer and I could not be happier with it. I do recommend applying a little hot glue to keep it secured well especially if you know you need to move the machine. Great work ROCK!

Thank you, very happy you guys were pleased. Thanks for the hot glue tip if moving a machine around it does help.

As far a discounts my site was built for pinside and priced for pinsiders. I can give discounts on multiple kits but one would need to contact me as I have nothing built into my site.

Rock- Any kits for older solid state machines to give it a little life?

Yes i have a few designs that i have done but this is typically just customer requests for certain titles. Example i just completed Space Station and Space Shuttle so if you want a specific title let me know.

I have a ton of kits available that are not currently on my website so if you need something just ask.

As far as Kiss i need to work on that in person as it is a new boardset. I need to be sure i have no issues before i release kits for games like Kiss, AMH, MMR, ect...
