Quoted from Bangback:I got mine. Will put it on my Luci soon. thanks!
Looking forward to seeing the install!
Quoted from arcademojo:Love this product. No light through the sides at all.

Awesome. The people that have speaker lights like you, especially, will notice a huge difference when there's no light bleed at all coming from the sides.

Had never installed a color dmd on a metal frame before. The gap is unreal. I couldn’t imagine the install without this product. Hoping you will keep these in stock going forward when I purchases color dmd for some of my other games. Thanks again
A+++++++

I assume people will continue to want these as they see them for themselves somewhere or try one and want more. I made some extras (and ColorDMD and BAA bought some I assume they will sell soon as well), but I can always do another factory run once enough demand has built up again. As you now know, once you see how it works, you can't imagine the install on a Stern machine with an angled metal panel without it!

Agreed. I don't get why colordmd didn't come up with a solution for that gap. It just looks bad and allows dust/dirt to get all over the display. With vireland's gasket, it just looks right. You don't even notice that the display is set back a good bit.
Quoted from JimB:I assume we are going to need this for the new GB color dmd? Please add me to the new list if so.
If you go with LCD, then you'll want one. ColorDMD said they will have some at expo, I don't know when they'll add them to their site. You can still get them direct from me if you PM me your email address and how many you want.
Quoted from Sethman:Installed and looks great in GoT Pro. Couldn't be happier, thank you!
GoT was the first machine I tested these on. I did about 4 iterations of the design with just that machine before it was close to being done and I started trying the gasket on some other ColorDMD installs here. It really looks so much better with it.

Makes a world of difference. Appreciate all the iterations.
Even with normal weatherstripping in there prior, I had to turn the backbox lights way down to keep light bleed out. The gasket fits great, backbox lights cranked back up. Excellent job!

Quoted from epotech:I'll be using it on my Ghostbusters. All coming together nicely!
Yeah, I wish I knew how close Ghostbusters was this close to release - I would have made more extras. I think that will sell a lot of these gaskets by itself. Once you've seen how it works, it's pretty much mandatory for ColorDMD on all angled speaker panel machines.

Another little perk with the gasket install....before the gasket was installed, with or without weatherstripping I had an annoying rattle/vibration in the speaker panel area on GoT. With Flipper Fidelity upgrade speakers.
After the gasket install, annoying rattle is completely gone. Nice vibration absorber too

Haha! Another bullet point for the marketing!
Quoted from epotech:I'll be using it on my Ghostbusters. All coming together nicely!
Yep. I'll be putting it in and running Sigma roms until the color rom is released Friday. Been waiting for this one for a long time! Having the gaskets finished is just icing on the cake.
Took pictures of the full Ghostbusters ColorDMD with gasket install process and put it in the Ghostbusters ColorDMD thread here:

If you're on the fence, I have less than 15 of these left. I thought I made a lot of extras, but Ghostbusters unexpected release supercharged demand...
I will make more, but it will be a delay once these 15 are gone.
These things are fantastic! I got one for Star Trek and one for Ghostbusters. They work great! If you on the fence it is the best compliment
for Color DMD in the newer Stern's with the metal panel. Looks like it came form the factory this way.

Thanks for the compliment! It really does finish the ColorDMD install with a clean, factory look.
Just put in my KISSLE ( yes Kiss..SIGMA single color for now)....Fit and look are awesome!!!..On to STLE....
I installed three of these today in my GoT, TWD and MET. The fit is perfect, and installation took five minutes tops per machine. I simply can't say enough good things about this product. There is absolutely no light bleed from the backbox or the speaker lights, and it's nice knowing that they are made out of a flame resistant material. Anyone who owns a game with the angled backbox and an LCD ColorDMD should grab one of these pronto!
Quoted from PinMonk:That's all folks. Sold out until I get more made. Thanks for the support of this project!
If you are keeping a notify list for the next run, please include me.
Thanks!
After we got the gaskets that were not wide enough, I tried them on a few machines, and I actually kind of liked the fit (the neoprene blend is stretchy even though the foam is dense), so I sent a number of samples to pinsiders to try and see if they liked it, too. Response was unanimous - they liked them. So I'm going to offer the "DMD Stretch" versions that are about 12% narrower, but stretch to the same size with a more taut frame.
Since they were a factory error and cheaper for me as a result, they will cost less than the regular gaskets until I run out. $15 + $5 shipping instead of $22+$5 shipping $7 less overall per gasket.
If any of the pinsiders that tried it want to chime in, feel free to share your experience with them. They have DMD Stretch embossed on the end to easily tell them apart from the regular ones.
PM me if you want one or more and give me your email and I'll send you a paypal invoice.
I was one of the people who tested out the narrower gasket for Vic. In fact, I currently have one installed in my GoT. It works just as well as the normal size one and is a great bargain at $15. Grab 'em while you can!
Yup, I tried one as well. Zero difference from the “correct” ones I also installed. Great deal and well worth it.
Quoted from pinballaddicted:Ours arrived yesterday in Australia and we fitted today. Thanks very much Vireland. Awesome idea!

Glad it made it okay! Thanks for posting pics of the install!

When you are ready could we have 2 more please?
1 week later
Quoted from jorge5240:Going to be buying a color dmd for my TWD looking for another gasket. Worked awesome on my STLE
ColorDMD has a few left of the original ones in their store here:

I have the slightly more taut DMD Stretch ones for $15+ $5 shipping. PM me if you want one of those.
