I cannot speak for that particular translite but I have purchased the ac/dc and dark knight from this ebay seller and both are awesome. Packaged very good and I gave 100% positive feedback,no regrets.

Do you have to choose one of the translites or do you get both?

EDIT: nevermind, I see that it's only one

Bought one today based on the review above and how cool it looks. Hope it's just as sharp in person when backlit.

Word is they're lopsided.

Quoted from CaptainNeo:

I wonder how many of these translites he's sold?
ebay.com link » Last Action Hero Pinball Novelty Translite

Thankfully, his 'Sold' listings do not show any sold. At least on e-bay.

Came in the mail today and all I can say is WOW !!! Fantastic job and top quality. Don't believe the 1mil thickness as is much thicker. Almost as thick as the stock one

The pics don't do it justice and the colors are much more vibrant than they appear

So glad I bought this

That FG translite looks awesome! After the nod from modfather I pulled the trigger on his alternate TWD translite today. Never was much a fan of the stock art.

#27 6 years ago

Looks pretty nice.

Less than one year after installed, here's what happened with a translite I bought from him...

Too much heat in backbox was probably the cause of that crackle.

Well, it didn't happen to the translite that was before it... neither to the one after....

#31 6 years ago

Not sure but I know all those 555s generate alot of heat and are alot closer to the translite then the tubes in new Sterns.... I may put an LED tube in just to be sure as it looks sooooooo good.
