Williams, 1997I got an e-mail this morning that ColorDMDs for TAF, MM, and AFM will be available for purchase on 10/25/12. I talked to Randy at Expo and he said he hopes to have them in stock a little longer this time but expects TAF to sell very well. If you're interested, take a look at: http://shop.colordmd.com but don't delay, when they go on sale, they tend to sell out quickly.
Quoted from LTG:The TAF is coming in a little quicker than I hoped. Likely waiting for the next run.

Same here, Christmas coming and all...
Quoted from zippydapinhead:Same here, Christmas coming and all...
That is what I thought. When they were talking before Christmas, I was hoping to have another month to scrounge money for it.
Still awesome. And the people getting them are going to be very happy campers.

Not a fan of mods at all but I really like the new color displays, my Addams Family has a few lines out that I've repaired and went out again so I need to replace it eventually. The price tag is just a bit high, still thinking about it.
I'll be getting mine for sure. I just spent $1000 restoring my TAF that I bought in 1997. What's another $400? This way, if the DMD driver board power section dies again, it won't matter! I've rebuilt it twice in the past 15 years. It was me that suggested to Ed at Great Plains that he should offer a kit after paying $20 for parts at a local electronics supply store. Plus I get another DMD to put on the shelf in case one of my others die. Win/Win!
Can you just buy a generic display without the programing and set it to one color? I saw on the congo at expo and it had a green display.
I'd like to see T2 be next. Here's why:
1. It was the first Pin designed with a DMD in mind. What better way to honor that milestone for the 21st century?
2. There isn't a ton of animation in it, so development time would be slightly lower.
3. 15,000+ in sales. Plenty of potential customers! More than AFM and MM!

Date East Check Point will be sorry to hear that. ( by 5 months )

Yes, but will T2 owners buy a $400 display when their game is worth $1500-$2000. It's nearly a 1/3 -1/5 of the price of the machine. I am sure you would and others might as well, but I think they are smart going after the expensive titles first since people typically don't mind dropping money on mods for them. I would love for some of the B/C titles to get done and I would buy them for every one of my games if possible, so I hope in the long run they can make them for nearly all the DMD games. But I can understand why for starters they are focusing on the big hitters.

That wasn't the standard DMD design that ColorDMD is replacing. T2 also may have started it's design phase prior to Check Point. Heck, even at Williams, Gilligan's Island beat T2 out the door, but T2 had a longer design phase, and was conceived first.

Price of the Pin isn't really relative. T2 is one of the most heavily modded Pins out there. It's a favorite to own and mod.
Quoted from cableguy918:Does anyone know what the next game these will be available for? I'm hoping MB, I don't own any of the other 3.
Im hoping for MB too. It would be really cool.

I think you meant TZ....

What are all the expense mods that people do on T2? I know pinball dreams has some T2 mods but I only seen a few people buy them.
Is there only one version of taf display? Or is there one for gold roms and one for those without?
I emailed twice but no reply.

Website lists three it will work with. LTG
Quoted from NathanP:If i remember correctly it will work with all three, but the gold roms will get the most out of it.
Correct - that's what I read too.
I was early and got AFM on the first order sort of forgot watching Vegas on DVR and now states
Price: $399.00
SKU: TAF
Sorry but this item is currently unavailable.
Please check back at a later stage.
I guess I waited to long. It happened really quick on that first run of AFM then some were selling for a 100 over costs, bet it happens again!

The price of the ColorDMD mods are high compared to mods for most Pins anyway....not sure that it matters.
I emailed Color DMD about if I buy this display for MM and I sell MM then can I use it on TAF or AFM.
They have chosen to lock the display to an individual game. He said they may let you switch to another game in the future but you will need to pay more to switch it to another game they support.
They also said they have not had many request to be able to switch it to another game.
I guess I am the only one that would keep the display and put it in a different game if I sold the game I bought it for. I might just try it out on another game.
If you want this feature write them so they have more requests.

I am sure it does matter or they would have done T2 first. If there is such a demand for T2 since people dump so much money into modding that game then maybe colorDMD will do it next.
Just ordered one for my AFM!
Not sure it has been mentioned, but everyone knows you can get them at Planetary Pinball and Bay Area Amusements as well, right?
Looks like the latter is sold out, however.
