Just bought a Lethal Weapon 3...... going to change all the rubbers. Titian rubbers are on sale.... 20% off.... I'm thinking of going all orange.
Good or Bad idea ???
I know blue looks great but I did that to my Last Action Hero.
Any suggestions are welcomed.

Quoted from GL_Pinguy:Question for those who installed LEDs in their LW3. What did you use for the shooter lane flasher. The flasher LEDs that came in the kit do not seem that they would work that well in there. I am thinking if building some sort of reflector.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Pinballbulbs are great; but their instructions kinda suck.
Not trying to be an ass; but I was able to fit the full size flasher in the shooting lane with little trouble. Maybe you can move the top bulb up abit more?
If you need a picture I can provide one after work.
Good Luck.

Quoted from vec-tor:Doesn't the cover have three hex head screws?
Nope..... I see no screw at the top and under the light. I'm a little scared to turn it and break something; but I really want to change the bulb.
I can add pictures if that would help?
Thanks,

Quoted from GL_Pinguy:The large flasher fits in there fine, it just looks weird. (See Photo) The instructions could have been better, be we figured out and it looks great.
The Flex light that I had was not a flasher, so I will have to order one. But first I need to figure out why the standard flasher that I put in does not flash. I am guessing broken wire or something like that. All of the rest of the lights work and look great now they are LEDed.[quoted image]
Yea... and I know it looks silly but it works great for me.

Quoted from FLASHBALL:Can anyone who has done LEDs recently give me a count for how many bayonets bulbs you needed total? (Backglass, GI, and all the inserts)
I'm getting ready to LED multiple projects and want to buy in bulk. Just a close estimate is all I need. Thanks.
Hello... I have instructions from Pinballbulbs.com for the Ultimate LED Kit, would you like a copy?
I can scan it and send it tomorrow after work. That will tell you everything you need.
Thanks,
OUT.
Quoted from vec-tor:O.K. That is not factory!!! You have a mod. I think some one glued it to the cabinet.
You can see the small holes for were the OEM cover was attached.
The cover, it might be attached with double sided stick tape.
I would try and use a heat gun and a flat putty knife to see if it can come lose.
I would test in a small hidden area first to see what is going on...
Well,CRAP!!!! Atleast now I know..... Thanks!
I have a new problem..... I was playing a game last night and every time I launched a ball the game would stop and reset.
The sound would stop, lights would stay on and my flippers still work; odd!
I then power cycled the machine several time and It would happen every time I launched a ball.
Any thoughts?
I have not had a chance to dig in yet.......but when I get a chance I will check all my fuses and power levels.
Extra info, I do have a Color DMD, Xpin PS, and a RD main board (mpu)
I can also make a short vid if that would help.
Thanks in advance......

So, I found my problem. 2 of my fuse holders broke off from my X-pin Power Board. Easy fix......
Plus I replaced the center ramp switch....... it appears to be working..... atleast in switch test it is.
But NOW half of my GI is not lighting up??
- I checked all the fuse
- wigged some wires
Any advise??? Did I install the ramp switch wrong????
Here is a picture of the ramp switch... I know my soldering is crappy....
Thanks,

I do need a picture of the wire orientation in the plug at J5. Some one hacked it and soldered the wires to the back of the board. Need to repin and replug. Can some one post a pic please.
Thanks.[quoted image]
Here you go....... Hope this helps.

20200311_161527 (resized).jpgQuoted from TommyNYC:Hey Guys my playfield is not kighting up below the pop bumpers on top, i replaced F4 fuse and one of the tabs that hold the fuse fell off. It still sits well there could that be the problem ?
Any other ideas ?[quoted image]
LOL.. funny. Almost the same thing happened to me... but I broke both F2 and F3 fuse clips.
I took out the PSU, replaced the clips but now the "back" half of my GI light will not come on.
Any ideas??
Thanks,
