Hey gang,

picked up a basket case LW3 that needs to be restored and put back together, previous owner got in over his head and didn't take pics. Upper playfield parts were all removed, down to the last post. Everything I was told is there... Does anyone have shop out pics from their LW3 that I could reference to help put Humpty Dumpty back together again????

TIA!

If there is enough interest I could do another batch, I think I still have the template here somewhere.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

I'd be interested as well!!

Refurbishing a LW3 for a friend of mine for his first pin. The translite I have is poor, and the repro I also have is not much better. Does anyone have a spare original translite in good condition they would be willing to sell??

Quoted from gdonovan:

Not a great product.

Agreed, that's why I'm looking for an original, the one that is with it is the repro and while better than nothing.....let's just leave it there.

Can someone take some measurements of the shorter mirrored backpanel above the 3 flash lamps? Mine is missing of course so I'm just going to make one.

Quoted from gdonovan:

If you can be patient, I'm trying to run off another batch soon.

Been patient, but I have a project for a friend of mine that is wrapping up in the next couple of weeks........

Quoted from CryptKeeperAUS:

I got an awesome repro from Arcadeoverlays. Not sure if there still doing these but the translite quality was perfect and great colors. Was a bit of a pain to buy as they originally wouldn't ship to Australia but managed to order to it via Florida.
Old translite in far away pic. New translite in close-ups.

Appreciate it, I was able to find one from another LW3 owner who had a NOS spare one.

Alright fellow LethalWeaponites, my basket case LW3 is coming along, however I've run across a piece of plastic in the box of parts that I cannot figure out where it goes...looks homemade.

Any help would be appreciated!!

Looks like inside the building.[quoted image][quoted image]

Awesome, thanks for the help!!

No wonder I couldn’t figure out the layout of the backbox wiring harness on my LW3 basket case: A special THANK YOU Mr. Data East Engineer for putting in the sound board and PPB board upside down!!!

I’ve just finished a LW3 will all Comet NoGhost (NG) LEDs in the inserts and start button), yet one LED (LW1) causes flickering and ghosting with one of the pop bumper lights. Remove that LW1 LED the flickering goes away. Tried another NG LED, same result, regular LED same result, even replaced the diode 1N4004 on the socket to no avail.

Any ideas/suggestions??? Yes, I know LED OCD is an option, but really want to solve this without going down that path.
