Lookin good! Definitely like the blue LEDs ya put in there

Looks great! Still want to own a DM at some point. Love the flow, love the sounds. A pretty darn good Dennis Nordman pin, great bang for the buck.

You're making me wanna give LEDs for GI another chance. I didn't like them in Radical or BR, so never tried with DM. Maybe I was using the wrong type or color in my previous attempts.

What you've done there looks pretty good!

Yep. Coin taker frosted 44's for the GI is a win for demo man. It's very hard to capture it well in photos.

I bought a bunch of LED's from Cointaker at the Texas show to do my Demo Man with. This was my first LED project and man what a difference it made. It looks so much brighter and colorful and it just pops now. I am on the LED train all the way now! I don't have any pics yet because I'm not quite finished (had to order a few more bulbs).
By the way BR I found a DW and supposed to pick it up Saturday. It will be getting the LED treatment as well

Just got my DM on Saturday, and would definitely like to give it the ol' LED treatment. Looks great, B_R!

BR can u send me a list of what leds u used on DM? Thinking of doing this to my DM as well.

Thx, Ryan

wowzers, bightness man, I enjoy that LEDs make pins playable in the dark.

It really looks great B_R!

1st minute free...then 5.95 a minute for each additional. ( If in the middle of BSD...$11.95 a minute standard rate)

I just ordered myself some IC chips so I can burn those ROMs and try them in my DM. As soon as I get them and complete the install I'll let you know

Haha....B_R loves to chat about pinball. But he is the king of LED's! I'm sure I'll be calling him when I start putting this BOP CT kit I ordered the other day....first timer here

You should use coin taker super brights for all your inserts. Use flex super brights for your inserts where the bulb is sideways. Demo man has several of these. Color match the led color to the insert color. Except use white led on yellow. The yellows aren't bright enough.

For the arm and under the back ramp use frosted red bulbs. For GI use frosted 44s. Blue, red, and white. I prefer cool white to warm white in every case.

For the backglass use frosted white 555's.

major difference, look good.

never played DM, what your opinion about the flipper handles(whatever you call it), do you think the game will play better if was regular cabinet button?

Even under yellow inserts?

Warm white looks *way* better under yellow inserts imo.

I got them a few months back from John Wart and it comes with the game rom H-6 and U-2 - U-9 sound chips. It just makes the game more entertaining.

If you buy them I would suggest getting them at That Pinball Place, way cheaper at $65.00.

It does have regular buttons on the cabinet like any other game, so you have the option. I don't care for the handles myself, but others that play the game seem to enjoy them. There are some bonuses to be had by using the thumb buttons on the handles though.

thank, didn't realised there was regular buttons... that will teach me to look at the pictures more carefuly

Looks great, BR. I would love to own a DM with LED's.

be careful what you wish for lol he might sell you one...

Pretty much, I didn't notice a difference in the lighting effects. There is an added DMD animation or two during the modes. The one that comes to mind is when Sly says Sh**, it animates the little ticket machine like in the movie. Mostly just swear words and funny quotes from the movie, like Sandra saying "You really licked his ass" instead of "kicked"

Thanks, Markmon. I'll definitely follow your advice when I do this. Going to order the LEDs on Friday.

Question on these. Cointaker has the Super Brights and then the MINI's. Is there really that great a difference between them, as I know they are double the price.

Thanks

Yes, the Super's are crazy bright; the minis have a more tolerable light level in darker rooms, but don't pop as much as the supers

Also can anyone tell me Where this 1 Plastic Goes !!

BR, if I'm not badly mistaken, if you look in the picture right above the one of the plastic, it goes on top of that post right behind the scoop. Mine is not currently on there because after I shopped mine I could not find where it went. After I realized where it went I said forget it, I'll do it next shop out because it's under the ramp and you can't really even see it anyway.

Action76 is correct for the placement of that plastic.

Demo Man looks amazing with LEDs. It's the first machine that I did that way, and it looks better than regular bulbs.

As for the swear roms, if you need to upgrade your regular game code, it's worth it. Mine had some sort of really early code on it that had like half the game missing, it was incredibly bad. Got the profanity roms and the gameplay doesn't suck. But, beyond that, they are sort of funny the first few times and then that's basically where it ends for me. If you find naughty words really funny, then they're by far the best out there, but otherwise it doesn't add enough to the game that I'd suggest doing it for the price they cost.

The flipper handles are neat I think. They help a lot in nudging, and people who would never nudge other games nudge a bunch on DM. I think they attract players too, as DM earns all right on route, and for a game with a crap theme and basically no "instant see" toys that is almost 20 years old and no one remembers, I think that gimmick is what makes people drop their quarters in it still today.

I have a love / hate relationship with the game. The scoring on it is totally screwed up so the only thing that makes sense with the claw if playing for points is Lock Freeze, Lock Freeze, Lock Freeze, Lock Freeze, etc... but, it's oddly the one game that I have no issue not playing for points, and instead playing for as many combos as possible, or just because it "feels" good, or whatever. Mine won't be going anywhere anytime soon, although I'll be the first to tell you that it is horribly flawed as a title. It's just darn fun to shoot.

I have the Home-6 profanity ROMs. They're great!

Not a lot of fun to shop this one, huh? It was my first shop job!

I might add some more blue to mine. My favorite thing I've done so far are blue supers under the ramps and blue flashers at the bottom left and right of playfield.

Not sure if it would work with yours because of the rest of the blue on the playfield (mine is "cool white" LEDs), but I think that the Cyro Claw looks infinitely better with blue lights instead of red ones. Matches the "cyro" theme better, I think.

Just a thought... looks good!

high scores with or without the glass?

currently at work but can anybody tell me how many flashers are in the backbox of a demo man and how many #44's their are? Thanks! Im in the process of ordering leds from cointaker at work.

No 44's, they're all 555's, 37 of them, and 9 flashers (906)

cool thank you For all you demo man owners what did you do for color for the flashers in the back box? Just super whites?
