I do! Apparently #7 of the prototypes, according to the digital display. Has the blue apron, which I like better, and the wavy ramp.

Looking into an LED conversion this summer.

Made my own Big Shot figure too.

My WPC Dude does not have a post.

So, I’m giving my Dude the LED treatment, and addressing some issues that have popped up in the meantime. However, I just noticed this oddity. To the right of the jumper bumpers, there is a hole where a switch would normally go. And surrounding the jumper bumpers are various 10 point switches, but this one was just left out completely. You can even see under the playfield where screw holes would have gone. Looking at the manual, that switch location (40) simply says “not used“. Does anyone know why that is? It would make sense to have a 10 point switch there, and one was obviously intended to be there at some point. Has anyone added one? And if so, how would you wire it up?

Also, speaking of LEDs, I’m going to be placing an order from Comet after getting a sample selection from them, but I can’t decide between Sunlight White and Natural (Cool) White in certain places.

The Natural White definitely looks best for most of the clear inserts, but I go back-and-forth between the two for the slingshots and plastics. I’d like to be consistent, but some look better with Sunlight and some look better with Natural White and I can’t decide. Same for the backbox. Natural White definitely looks brighter and cleaner, which I prefer to the dimmer yellowed of Sunlight (especially for Dude, seems like he was made for “cool”), but I wonder in some cases if the Natural White is just “too much“.

What have you folks done with yours?

Not even a hole. The only holes are by the flippers for angle guides.

I’m in agreement that the cool whites really make Dude pop. I’m going to use sunlight white in the pop bumpers, and maybeunder a couple of the plastics that are more orange than blue. Warm whites I am reserving for the yellow inserts.

I know it’s a controversial topic, but as many of us are outfitting the dude with LEDs, I’m interested to see what everyone else is going with.

(Side question: are the screws immediately next to the green and yellow tubes on the mixmaster actually attached to anything, or just there for decoration? The front area isn’t really secured to anything like the back is with Hex nuts. The screw by the red tube appears to be secured into the wood, but there isn’t anything for that same screw to dig into on the green and yellow areas.)

My bumpers came with one each of a red, green, and yellow LED to match the other areas. It’s worked well, but I’m ready to change it up and try for the white bumpers.

Does anyone have a picture of the wiring for the left flipper coil? I took out the coil, and neglected to take a picture of which wires go where. Mine is a WPC, but i don't think that matters for the playfield.

Thank you! I stupidly did not take any pictures,
and assumed that’s how they should be wired, but wanted to be 100% sure before attempting to reattach.

I’ll take a look for pics myself, I did a detailed tear down when I first bought mine. It’s not that complex back there. Once you remove the plastic at the back, there’s a little metal tray above the ramp to stop the ball from falling out, and that’s just attached by one or two screws.
