Quoted from swinks:

Just to clarify to those people new looking at this mod:
Snackbar v1.0 - had el wire installed in it and needed 12vdc to power the small inverter. CFTBL has alot of mods using alot of 12vdc like PinballMikeD's holo tv screen mod, color dmd and the Speaker Panel Speaker tail light mod. The Snackbar mod didn't use alot of power - 500Ma but in some cases was the straw that broke the Camel's back. I also later learnt that EL wire varied due to the humidity and was as it's best glow when it matched the conditions it was made in as it has a powder inside of it. Luckily the supplier is in the US and for $10 the el wire and inverter can be swapped out when it does dim as it will dim with age as well.
Snackbar v2.0 - I redesigned the mod to mainly avoid the power drain on peoples games as now the mod has 10 SMD led strip inside of it and is powered by a GI socket under the mod so runs off 6.8 vac, so no power leads and very simple to install and much brighter than el wire version. The downside it doesn't have the el wire neon rounded edge look - so can't achieve everything.
My apologies to anyone that has v1.0 and is disappointed when they see this design revision - was not my intention, I wasn't going to do any more Snackbars at all, and then the idea dawned on me with edge lit acrylic and then saw Comet's lighting components and then v2.0 evolved. For those with the v1.0 that really want to upgrade I will give you a small discount to lessen the hurt and say thanks for your support and you can flip your v1.0 to the market place.
