Just joined the club again with a Spiderman Vault Edition. Love the game and it is in like new condition. This one has interactive lights in the backboard that I have never seen before. They are awesome, but a bit bright, as are the stock LED's.
I owned a Spidy Vault in the past and I do not remember the LED's being so bright.
I may end up replacing some of the factory LED's with softer ones and add a color dmd.
Quoted from PinRob:Are the general illumination LEDs frosted or clear. When I got my vault it had the factory clear top LEDs and they were horrible, swapped em all out for frosted dome topped LEDs
I just looked and they are all clear. Looks like I need to visit Comet LED's again. Thanks
Quoted from monkeyboypaul:stick an LED OCD board in it - that way you can lower brightness uniformly. Plus you get a much smoother lightshow, the way it was designed. I'd do that before swapping out the LEDs, although i also prefer frosted domes over clears.
ColorDMD goes without saying!
This is a good idea I had not thought of and much easier than swapping out all the LED’s
Quoted from monkeyboypaul:It’s just removal of the little crappy sub boards on each lamp matrix connector (bottom left of the left board). Iron Man VE & TWD Pro (amongst others) had them too. They’re there to mask the ghosting! LED OCD solves that for you too.
Good to know as I ordered the LED OCD board a few hours ago. Does anyone know if instructions are included for installing into the Spidy Vault Edition ?
Quoted from monkeyboypaul:Not explicitly for SM Vault, but generically for Stern SAM games:
Install:

Software usage:
http://www.ledocd.com/usage_led.html
(You may decide that Profile 7, the one it defaults to for all inserts, needs to be less bright at the top end, in which case maybe use Profile 6 for all inserts. The only thing i always change is the delay number to either 1 or 2).
Also read up around this post https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/club-spidey-members-and-guests-welcome/page/32#post-5402774
as there's a setting (maybe more than 1), which may be worth playing with after install, but then you're into "fiddly & subtle" territory.
Thank you. Appreciate the help !
Well I installed the LED OCD board into my Spidy Vault and what a difference it makes. I had to use the default settings as I am unable to get the LedOcd App to open on either of my laptops, but that is ok as it looks so much better.
I did not receive a USB cable with my kit so I am using an old one I had laying around, so that could be part of the issue with getting the app to load.
Now I need one for my TSPP that is also running all LED's
Quoted from monkeyboypaul:Games like TSPP and LOTR look terrible without LED OCD. Apologies if I just cost you a lot more money....
No problem and this hobby always cost me money, but that is ok.
I think this may be one of the best bang for buck mods out there. I did a before and after video just so I could see the difference and it is amazing how much better it looks with the LED OCD board installed.
herg did reach out to me this morning via email and I sent him a screenshot of the error I am getting. I am sure it is something I am doing wrong.
Quoted from bajm:Could you post the video? I’d love to see it!
I tried to upload them, but it says they are of an "invalid" extension. I can upload pics, but not a video it appears....
