Just ordered 2. Shipping was $13 as discussed. So I went ahead and ordered another pingulp and bent plastic. Shipping stayed at $13. Looking forward to receiving.

I honestly believe that we really wanted the White North board to be the end solution as it’s plug and play and very user friendly. Unfortunately it just hasn’t worked out that way for some. I was an early adopter and made this post like a year ago and it just kinda went unnoticed. I believe others are starting to have the same moderate results I did.
Quoted from ypurchn:The board dropped my JP from 61 dB to 55 dB, when it’s just sitting in attract mode. There is still a noticeable hum in a quit house but it is better.
Quoted from Joshjowen:I tried the White North gadget. It barely helped and the machine made a very loud pop through the speakers at boot up with it installed. I do think it's possible I have a faulty one and have been emailing with White North. I have now pulled it and went the AC/DC 12v/5v converter route mentioned elsewhere and the buzz is all but gone... Noticable now only barely in a completely quiet room and this machine had a particularly bad hum before.
Super easy to install... Tapped into 120 after the switch and wired it to the convertor then just ran wires to the soundboard for the DC. I can't recommend this route enough... The hum/buzz is now even less than my Data East machine with a pinsound and that one is pretty quiet.

This thread has gotten so big it’s hard to find anything. Would you mind referencing the post for the converter?

I did some digging and found tons of info starting at post 250 but, it’s too deep in the weeds for me. Sorry I’m a ChemE not a EE. Is anyone offering something “off-the-shelf” or with at least enough details to DIY this.
Quoted from Joshjowen:Yeah see his post above. I also solved the loud volume when all the way turned down. That solution is in the main data east club thread. Curious, what would you pay for a kit that was close to plug and play? You would have to open the electric box that has the 120vac coming in and tap into that line (easy w wire nuts), then mount the convertor in backbox (or whatever else you want). The rest would be pre-built and plug and play. I'm considering batching some of these out.
I think the board that was suggested was $58 alone?
I think a maximum would be 1/2 of a pinsound which is like $250. So $125. Even that would be hard to swallow for me cause I’m usually playing with other pins playing so sound quality is already low.
So somewhere between $57 and $125 I guess?
Quoted from Joshjowen:Pinsound price is more than that btw.
Haha. Yeah I just checked. Even at $250 I couldn’t justify. $400? No thank you.
It’s a hard balance. Using cheaper parts may lead to inferior results. But I’d imagine you’d get more takers at $40 than $80-100. At the $80+ price point it’d have to be a proven solution not a “maybe”.
I know I certainly can figure this out. It just comes down to time. Maybe if I stopped posting and just did it, I’d be done already…
