What’s the consensus if LED’ing a Fish Tales: warm white, or sunlight white?

GI and inserts.

I’ve omitted colour-matching and cool white as I’m not keen on those options.

Incandescent is also valid, but I prefer LED!

Pinks, not purples? Does that work?

Just did a quick tally for my personal tastes (i don't always use Green LEDs under every green insert)

9x Red 555
5x Yellow 555
2x Purple 555
2x Purple 44/47
3x Green 555 (might use white instead)
3x Green 44/47 (might use white instead)
39-45x White TBC 555
3x White 44/47

+ 46 White TBC 555 (backbox)
+ ??????????? Playfield GI (anyone know the number?)

Got about 60 Warm white wedge LEDs but only about 25 Sunlight... think an order’s due!

Thanks. I’m leaning towards sunlight white, and i used to do the total colour matching thing but it was a pain to assemble the order only to find 1 item out of stock, add to that the fact we’re in the U.K. so delivery takes longer, costs more and we get hit with customs duty too, so now i just order bulk bags of approx 75% wedge sunlight whites and 25% bayonette, with the odd colour for good measure (and topside bulbs).

Hi folks,

New owner - really lovely Lenc Smith playfield with a typically faded but otherwise perfect cabinet. Bizarrely has no Mylar anywhere on the playfield, but that’s not my question.

The little square metal flap at the boat crossover is raised slightly causing the ball to ‘hop’. Has anyone solved this in an elegant way? Was considering just a piece of Mylar to stick it down!

Thanks!

It has 4 rivets in it, but also an extra 2 holes which seem to be pointless.

This game also has a lit square cast button, which isn’t common if I understand things correctly?

Double side tape is a good idea, thanks.

My FishTales has a few differences to what I think is the majority of games. Wondering if there’s any obvious reason for it?

The rubber pads at the end of the rails (above the inlanes) has square blue pads, not the circular type with a locking ‘button’.

My plunger handle has a square button and lights up, not round and unlit.

The centre boat has a flap at the top with extra screw holes in it.

There may be others...

Of course. It's really not a decision - it's a must.

I went LCD, it's just better in my eyes, but even the ColorDMD LED version is still streets ahead of the regular DMD.

Also fitted both OCD boards - the GI OCD has far less of an effect in Fish Tales, but it certainly helps when that GI blacks out fairly regularly. All with Comet frosted 2SMD sunlight whites.
