Finally got our first prototype done.
Turns out the Jukebox is an actual pinball plastic that is screen printed on the reverse. Not just a piece of paper or plastic behind a protector.
But my brother and I are working out a cheap process to have these done on a sturdy plastic that can replace the old menu easily.
Also, Stern in there infinite wisdom, decided to cut the holes for the LED's the exact size as the song title. So anyone wanting to replace TNT would have some dremeling or routing to do.
All that aside here is a photo of what we have now of the three new songs we have on our machine.
We will be able to do custom cards soon for everyone running a new BIN file.

Easily done.

lol.
I'll let everyone know when I can have them ready. Probably next week sometime.

I guess my brother was quick to get a test copy printed. oops.
Rhythm will be corrected, and thanks for pointing that out. lol.
Glad we did not type it wrong in the BIN file for the DMD.
The panel unfortunately can not be changed to have the cuts open all the way because they are cut out into the entire back panel section. Someone would have to do that to their own machine and really only TNT is the problem. It is probably not a song that anyone would to remove anyway as it has a lot of interaction on the playfield.
As far as putting Bootleg on the title screen, I have no problem with that if it is ever wanted or needed. However I only know how to do sounds and music. Maybe it is something oga83 could add to the program if enough people think it is wanted.

This thread is about Plastics not trading ROMs.
Besides people paid for their pinball machine and their music. They are not going on location like this. Just for the owners to enjoy what they paid for.
I have tricked out my cars with private computer updates and mods and have not seen Ford or Volkswagen at my door.

Craig. I can certainly get you a Who Made Who version no problem. I am doing one for someone else anyway. Not sure I can have it by Friday when I leave for Dallas, but I will get you one anyway.
We will let everyone know the price and when these are ready sometime next week by posting in this thread and sending PM's. Thanks for all the interest.

Yes. Hell still works as normal. Steve's call outs are all there as well.
Only the song playing is changed.

You need to find the thread with oga83's program in it.
It is a simple Bin file editor that allows us to import our own music, sounds, and DMD animations.
Takes a bit of learning to use.

OK guys, fresh back from the printers and ready to ship.
Price is $29 shipped. Just PM me if you are interested.
I can do custom ones as well for people who have done their own song changes.
I have already done a couple of them with Who Made Who in place of War Machine that I hand delivered.
These are done on a sturdy plastic. Not as thick as the original, but you really can't tell the difference once installed.
To get these screen printed on plastic as thick as Stern used would be cost prohibitive.
All you need to do to change these out is remove the two screws on the back side of the rear panel that hold the plastic cover on the front in place. It will just pull right off.
Then just remove the 9 little phillips screws holding the plastic in place and swap out the cards.
I will PM everyone that has already expressed interest in this.
This particular card replaces.
War Machine with Girls Got Rhythm
Let there be Rock with Shoot to Thrill
Hell ain't a bad place to be with Dirty Deeds

yes but a few songs like TNT that have short titles may not light up all the way. Stern only cut out slots in the backboard the actual size of the song title. And on top of that the use a LED PCB board to light them up, so you really have no way to add more light.

Thanks for all the support and enthusiasm on this project everybody.
Everyone who had paid for a standard plastic will have it in the mail on Monday.
All the custom plastics will take a bit longer till my printer gets more of the plastic in stock next week. It is cool to see what some of you have done with oga83's mod program.

It is done with this marvelous program by oga83.
The thread is very long read, but being able to edit the bin files is some amazing stuff.

And yes this can be done on a pro and the songs must be the same length or edited to the same length as the originals.

Thanks. Just let me know what songs you need and I will get it printed up.

True, you can make these as cheaply as you want.
However we are now using the water transfer paper with reverse printing so we can have the printing on the back side of the plastic along with the solid white backside. The result looks just like the actual Stern plastic.
On my last batch we were relying on our printing company who does a great job but sometimes can be trying to work with.
Now we can do single plastics at the drop of a hat with little to no wait time.
Of course if you have the time to do it all yourself, by all means go ahead. Sounds great.

Yes. We now do them with waterslide decals so I can get them done to order instead of having to wait for enough people to order them in batches.
Just send me a PM and I can help you out.

Glad you got it off. Mine was stuck to the black paint that Stern uses as well.
And yes, when I send you a new plastic, it is an entire replacement plastic with new text.
So if you ever go back to standard songs you can just put the original back in place.

What are you looking for exactly.
Shoot me a PM and I'll let you know what can be done.
Leon.

I will be happy to help.
Are you wanting to do this yourself?

If so the two tracks you need to change out from inside Pinball Browser are:
306: Let there be Rock
311: Whole Lotta Rosie

Send me a PM if you need help or just want me to whip the file up for you.
