I am looking for someone with a working Mr. & Mrs. Pac-Man Pinball who would like to evaluate my new LED Pacmaze printed circuit board. First one to PM me (in the US) with their address, will receive a free board and installation kit. All I'm asking in return, is a fair evaluation of the unit.
This is a direct replacement 100 LED version of the 50 incandescent bulb stock printed circuit board. My LED Pacmaze board has three advantages. (1) It runs way cooler. My playfield was very hot to the touch with the stock unit. (2) It's a little brighter, especially the red. (3) The colors and brightness is consistent across the maze. There are two LEDs replacing each bulb and they are further away from the insert than the incandescent bulbs. The LEDs have a uniform glow across the insert.
Because the LEDs are further away from the inserts than the incandescent bulbs, there is a little bit of bleed over between inserts - especially with the red LEDs. To fix this, I have included isolation tubes which can be glued to the bottom of the playfield. I just used rubber cement to stick mine in place. I ran mine for two weeks without the tubes and didn't notice the bleed over much. I now have the tubes installed, and it makes a big difference in the attract mode when it spells out BALLY.
I plan to offer my remaining three boards for purchase in a few weeks. Price will probably be about $100. Let me know if you are interested, so I can get an idea of how many parts I need to get for the second run. There is one fly wire on the first board which will be fixed on the second run.
