Quoted from punkin:Why s the backglass all blue?
good question. It has been given an led kit, the backglass appears to be all a cool white, but maybe that's giving it that overtone. I appears to be an original glass. I don't have any other bulbs to swap in of that style, but will probably add some on my next order.
I found a bag of incandescent bulbs in all the stuff the seller gave me and swapped the backglass out. gone is the blue everything, not nearly as bright, but much better colors. I will be putting in comet leds when I next order some, the question is sunlight or warm white, definitely not the cool white this kit came with.

colors look good to me, but looks a little bright, are those 1SMD or 2SMD? pictures don't always work great for lights, does it look brighter in person, what are your impressions?
Quoted from PAIDGE:Like this?

So are these actually available to purchase anywhere? My front supports are missing the peg to support the playfield.
Alternatively has anyone swapped in a slide mechanism to allow easier ability to work on the bottom side? I'm thinking something like https://www.pinballlife.com/stern-slide-pivot-support-bracket-right.html and the associated parts seen at the bottom of that page. Purists would be outraged, but I think it would make life much easier after having to adjust the switches on the blue inline bank (none of either inline bank drops switches would register, making multi-ball impossible, crazy).
So, the worst piece of my Fathom. The story from the guy I bought it from is the owner before him lost the keys and had to drill out the lock, well he didn't drill the lock, he hacked the cabinet and attempted to patch up the hole. Not entirely sure what I'm going to do yet as I don't have any of the inner lock mechanism and don't really need it at home, so may just clean it all up, smooth it out and paint it to match.

Quoted from lifefloat:Yeah.........I kinda think it will be as simple as that. Problem is I don't have a manual for this game yet.
