This is what mine looks like with LEDs. I used super bights for the headlights. I think the original translight really fits the theme of the game and is pretty cool. The alternate I have seen with the girl doesn't look as good as the original to me.

Yes frosted and a few incandescent. All my LEDs are from Pinball Life. The backbox flashers work with the playfield ones in test, or try "all lamps and flashers" test as well. Do they work with incandescent bulbs? If so try scraping the wires on the LED flashers and bending them out a little, or flipping them over.

First off, thanks to MustangPaul for his great ideas with the Comet strips. I used the 3 LED white for the gauges, 3 LED blue for the ramp to the supercharger ( just used the adhesive strip onto the sign), I used the 7 LED blue strip at the rear (used a piece of adhesive foam and put it on the top of the backboard with the strip attached to it. The last two pics are top and bottom of the saucer.

Iit was originally made with normal flippers, I would stay with them.

Q tip soaked in windex is what I use, if really dirty more wet q tips are needed. I then use a dry one for a final wipe. You have to remove light boards to gain access.

probably coil stops

"Perfectly Aligned" always good to hear!

Not a big fan of powdercoating, but the vinyl looks great.

I like it! Where did you get your vinyl?

would this work? Car Auto Mirror Chrome Silver Sheet Wrap Vinyl Sticker Film Air ebay.com link: itm

so would they make good mirror blades?

Thanks, I ordered a piece and will try it. I will have a look before I pull the backing off. I get what your saying about smooth surface.

Try lifting the front of the playfield as you pull out. If the slides are bent this will help them engage better. I have taken them out and straightened them in a vice.

Easy enough to do, only hassle is unsoldering and resoldering. Take your time. Make sure you get the base right and remember to insulate the lamp socket.

Just the one that goes right next to the coil bracket needs to be insulated. The other is far enough away from everything.

Interesting. When I bought my Getaway the op had three at his place. None of the sliders worked. I thought he had done that purposely to avoid a good look at the machines. He had a very dimly lit shop, also to hide the condition of mostly reimports.

I have had good success replacing the following parts four 47k ohm resistors, three large 5 watt resistors (120, 1.8k and 4.7k ohms)
They are easy to check with your DMM set to resistance. They are very inexpense.

L2 is what many of us are using. I think it is a good one.
