For me, a large part of what makes me love F14 is the absurd light show and obnoxious sounds. I might go full on idiot mode with LED flashers someday, just because. I want to add in the ones that were factory deleted also... because.
My red and blue beacons are plenty salvageable with a quality buff job, but I don't think there's any proper saving the white one. It's too yellowed and the mounting base is chipped anyway. So I need to source a replacement... Someday.
I still need to fix my right lane and spinner (need to order more parts but I'm struggling figuring out a part I need for my meteor) and I need to finish up with the replacement of my target blades. Still have both sets of TOM to do as well as the 1-6 white center targets. But seeing as how every single damn stack I've disassembled has fallen apart in my hands and I've now lost several plastic tubes...I need replacements.
One step forward, 37 steps back.
Oh, random question freeplay40, since you're here... Ever given any thought about a clear diverter for F-14? I was talking to a friend about this the other day. Just curious!
Quoted from Freeplay40:The first games made were with a clear center beacon.....but as ksuwildcatfan says, while not blinding, is much brighter. What I had heard was that locations wanted it "toned down", so they switched to the translucent white.
