For probably the 9th time, I ordered a ColorDMD to put into a machine without SEPARATELY ordering the clear shield. Fkn GRRRR! For the life of me, I will never understand why they don't come in the package. Who sells these things? My tech comes tomorrow to install a colorDMD in my ACDC LTBR, and will have to rob a shield from another game. Anyone?
Quoted from Ilushka85:The real question is why do you need a tech to pop it in ?
You don't know Greg, do you.
Quoted from Bryan_Kelly:You don't know Greg, do you.
Nope. Does his tech turn his games on for him too ?

Tell him to order for you next time.
Quoted from yzfguy:You can install without and it looks/works fine.
One can but there is risk for the display being exposed.

Take the red shield piece to a glass shop and they can easily cut a matching acrylic clear piece for you. They usually have spare scrap pieces in the shop for cutting smaller things like this and it's cheap. Sometimes they even have special scratch resistant acrylic, but that may or may not be more money.

Greg, if it's a wood speaker panel game with original factory display, it's got a clear shield with red perspex sheet between the factory display and the speaker panel. You don't need to order a different shield. The tech will just remove the red sheet and you're good to go.
If someone replaced it with an aftermarket red shield, Pinbits sells the clear replacements for wood speaker panels.
