After a 425 mile, 9 hour drive last night, I'm happy to say I'm now the proud owner of a Congo.

Didn't get home till 2am, only slept 3 hours and had to get up for work...

Totally worth it!

Looking for suggestions for LED color choices in the back box.

Quoted from swampfire:

Warm white worked well for me.

Quoted from Butterflygirl24:

Congrats on an awesome game!

I have Cointaker frosted cool white in mine. I chose the frosted after testing out other choices, because they don't leave the pinpoints of light right over the bulbs that you see with other types of bulbs. The frosted diffuse the light some so they aren't just so much of a bright blob right where the bulb is.

Thanks! I was hoping to give it more color by using colored frosted LED bulbs. But, if that doesn't look good, I'll definitely do frosted cool white as I don't like the warm white as much.

Not posting for the price, but the led layout

Thanks! That's more like it.

Has anyone tried installing a ColorDMD or SmartDMD into Congo?

Quoted from monkeyboypaul:

Funnily enough I tried installing a Dr Pinball LCD in my game earlier today, but failed through a lack of appropriate spacers when fixing it to the speaker panel. It worked technically, just couldn't keep it screwed in, and I had little patience remaining after upgrading all the roms and spending hours working out why they didn't work...

Exactly what I was getting at as I have a Dr. Pinball lcd setup also. I have heard of spacers needed. What are these spacers?

Quoted from monkeyboypaul:

Unfortunately he hasn't got an answer on this. So I'm going to press ahead and find some longer screws and some plastic tubes or standoffs to push the screen back about 2-3cm so it doesn't hit the speaker panel.

Good luck. Let us know how it turns out. If you figure it out, maybe I'll give it a shot.
