Thanks. Correct on the towers. Decals made at work, thanks to fellow pinsider. Working on bracket so it will use the holes from the other towers. Lighting still in production. Will make a post on whole project.

Quoted from LesManley:Air raid ramp exit
Is the bottom wire form.
The middle one you have circled is the black out ramp.

Quoted from Gov:Also, completely converting JD over to LED's is a daunting task considering I am up over 200 bulbs so far on my count.
We'll worth the convert to led. As for the legs I went with new chrome.

Most LEDs from pinball life. Some of the flashers from cointaker's

Quoted from Mancave:The only problem i've found with the deadworld mod so far is that if you finish a game with 1 or 2 balls in "lock" it confuses the crap outta the machine when you start a new game and the solenoids all fire off trying to find the missing balls. LOVE my JD machine, one of my favs
This only happens to me when I turn the machine off, than turn back on later, than the machine goes nuts looking for them. I just clear them out before I shut down.

Little update on the towers. Had a few other projects come up (I know over a year). This is what they will look like.

Been having issues with lights, bright or not so bright? Thinking of going with the "glowing" effect. Will try to get some photos of that. Mounting is not going to be on the plastic but from the post just by the #2 tower and other side of shooter lane by the steel ramp guard (reversible). The lights could clip the "meltdown" light to flash or I might just hook to gi.

Quoted from ReallifePin:Those are great. Any idea if you'll make these available to us or not?
It could happen. Depends on the bracket and lights. The decal should not be a problem.

Quoted from Industen:Tonedef clockwise is right.
COUNTER clockwise, as seen in video, is the right way, not clockwise

Quoted from phillymadison:I have a question for anyone that has the red or blue led mod that's on eBay. The one that brightens up the back of the playfield. It looks great but is it worth getting the eBay mod? Or should I just order some led strips from comet? I'd hate to pay triple the price for something I could just get with my next led order.
I made my own. Got my lights from amazon http://www.amazon.com/Triangle-Bulbs-T93007-1-pack-Waterproof/dp/B005EHHLD8/ref=sr_1_2
I also put a dimmer in line. http://www.amazon.com/Lerway-Controller-Wireless-Control-R106/dp/B00AHU2U7O/ref=pd_sim_hi_4
Made one for me and one for my friend. Just need to add your own wire and find a spot to get 12 volt. Test post on board works for starters but need to move. I dont have mine on all the time so I have not moved it yet but for less than 15 bucks you can make your own and have strip of led's for other things.

Quoted from Chosen_S:There's some guys on vp universe making their own for a fraction of the cost, maybe we could do the same?
http://vpuniverse.com/forums/topic/1669-shaker-motor-stern-and-others/
I know, I have at least 4 pins that I'd like shakers in, but $$$
That sounds like a good project. Think I will give it a try.

Nice work Mancave. I slacked off. Please let me know how you mounted them and what lights you used. I hope to have mine done soon. Was working on a few other projects. Again NICE WORK!! 
If anyone needs a decal for the towers let me know. The ones I had made will cover the whole tower. PM me to let me know if you need them. I will charge shipping and some extra coin for the printing.
Mancave. Did you have to make new holes in the plastic or are they a mount already? I'm trying to make it so you don't need to make new holes to mount (reversible).
If anyone needs the decals just pm me. I will check with printer in the morning. I can do stamp but would prefer to do priority mail.
I checked with my art guy and he is in a good mood today so he has giving me the file to give to you all.. 
I choose the red because the numbers on my decal are cut out so you would see the red behind when lite. I like the glow of the red my self. Hope the pdf works for everyone.

I have added the tower PDF to my Dropbox. Some peeps have been having issues with downloading from my post (#838 page 17)
Please use link from my Dropbox. If you still have issues please PM me your email and I will send it.

Thanks,

If you don't have a way to print your own, let me know. I will see what the cost will be to print and ship.
For anyone that would need the decals for the tower mod, I have got a price from the printer and added for shipping $15 a set. The decal will be laminated and cut. The number will be cut out also to show the red of tower behind. If you want he can not cut out the number. If you would like me to get them printed ( I know of a few that don't have ways to print), just pm me and I will get a order up.

Quoted from simplykind:Cool, diggin the red led strips in the back. Are those cool whites in the GI?
They are natural white. http://www.cometpinball.com/product-p/led.htm
LED strip I got from amazon: http://tinyurl.com/p4aa5el
Added a dimmer: http://tinyurl.com/op2p247
Dimmer between strip and power. Power is temp on the 12volt test point on board (need to move). Holds setting after you turn off. I have had to reset maybe 2 times in 3 years. Easy access from back box.
I would get 2-7 led strips from comet that plug into gi lights. I plan on that when I shop JD later this winter.

Quoted from altan:Looking for a little input regarding how the drop targets should work when spelling Judge.
It seems most of the time, if you hit a target out of order then the target will drop and not change the flashing light. Then, if you hit the correct target, it's possible you end up with a flashing light for a target that is already down.
Is this normal? Or should the game pop up all the targets in this case?
When this happens, you can shoot the center subway (assuming the drop target in front is down) to light the letter.
In case this isn't clear, here is a specific example.
JUDGE are all up. J is flashing.
I hit the U target. It goes down.
J is still flashing
I now hit the J target. It goes down.
U is now flashing but it is already down.
at this point I need to hit the D target so it goes down
and then shoot the ball into the subway, which now lights the D target
I'm hopeful this is normal behavior. However, I wasn't able to find anyone stating the correct behavior... hence this post.
Thanks!
... Altan
Yes this normal. If the J is flashing and you hit the "UDGE" they will drop. J will only count if you hit J or enter subway. If you hit the J and all others are down than they reset. The same for all letters. If you have one letter up and all are down and hit subway, the one flashing will be counted and move to the next.
I think I explained it right. Beer and pin 400 miles away
benetnath, I believe it is normal game play. Take a look at this.

Little help. I turned JD on and it sat for about 3 min, came up just fine, DMD working ready for play. I was updating my JP with color DMD firmware and heard some random coils going off on JD. Looked up and DMD was out. Shut the game off and back on, random coils go off and DMD black(no power). Did it one more time and no coils going off but DMD is black. I have a LCD Colordmd installed. Started a game and it just keep sending balls out. WTF, I have not played it in about 2 weeks. I have check fuses for DMD controller board and all good.
Help
@PinRob. I did not check it. That was the problem. It worked for about 1 1/2 hours. Played fine. Was looking at Pinside and it blew again. Don't understand why it blows when just sitting idle. The VUK coils go off and DMD goes out. Don't have a clue
*I don't have any 12V mods hooked up to it**
Not sure on the 5V. I have had the Color DMD for a few years. No you keep your ghost. Don't want one.

@SLCpunk2113. I have Put Comet LEDs in mine and turned off dim. Looks great. LED OCD is a great add on, you can set it up the way you want it. I have it on my NASCAR and it is awesome!!
