Is there a video of the install, I just received mine it looks great in the box lol. I am a bit intimidated by the instructions, I know nothing about boards and wiring. I’ve heard it’s an easy install so I’m excited to give it a try but I’ve a visual kind of guy anyway just wondering if anyone made a video of their install

I don't know if any of the installation instructions have changed in the last few months, but I found this on YouTube created by @colywobbles.

Might I gently ask how long delivery was for your Neon Sign mods? I got notification of shipment on Oct. 2, and what little tracking I see shows it's still in the UK as of Oct. 20. Thanks, and I don't mean to criticize with this request, just trying to get an idea when this might appear as I'll be out of the country for 2 weeks in November.

#1015 1 year ago

Throw me on the list too please and thanks!

No mate all good! Looks like tracking has *just* updated on the 21st showing its hit your sorting office. Will pickup with you over PM.

Hi Davey,
I saw that I stand two times on the list: #702 and #715. Please delete the #715, that must be a mistake. Sorry for this inconvenience. I am looking forward to this mod, but one is enough for me!
Maybe you confounded it with the UFO-mod I also wanted to order? I saw that I am not on that list.

Yes, that was it - I recorded the first Lolly UFO request down on the wrong list. Nice pickup, and many apologies! All correct now.

#1019 1 year ago

I would like to be on the list for a Tokyo neon sign kit?

#1020 1 year ago

Is it too late to be added to the list for a Tokyo neon sign kit?? If not, I'd like to be added as well for a Godzilla Premium.

#1021 1 year ago

^ Same as the above, would love to get in if you're doing more (for a GZ Pro)

#1022 1 year ago

Is the reserve list posted or only the confirmed runs?

#1023 1 year ago
Quoted from McSirTuna:

Hopefully not too late - taking names at least until the end of the month and will try to get to everyone in this run, assuming there is enough stock to do so. We've just hit the estimated list target 8 days earlier than expected though, so anything from here on will depend a lot on dropouts. Either way, will keep registering interest for a future run sometime next year, as the list hasn't slowed down, like, at all.

Once again, I'd like to express my gratitude for all the support, enthusiasm, and patience while we get these out. It's been life changing!

Quoted from SR230CC:

Yep full list is posted but probably hasn't been updated in a week or so, will do later today.

Stumblor (Davey),

I received my Tokyo Neon Sign and noticed that the Japanese character insert appears to be bent inward (see photos). I don't think the insert is supposed to sit like this (i.e., bent inwards looking from the front) from other photos in this thread so I'm wondering what the fix is. I didn't want to continue to install the sign and/or try to remove that insert and straighten it without inquiring with you first. Also, are the two metal screw support housings pictured supposed to spin freely (they do)? I would appreciate your input... Many thanks (happy to continue this one-one via PM). Thanks!

Hey Josh!

So due to the nature of the resin, sometimes there is a bit of a bend in them, always in this direction (must be the orientation of the print and which side dries first). Also, the way that I'm fixing the PCB to the resin using rivet nuts sometimes tends to 'pull' the resin outwards, contributing to the bend. I've taken to adding some plastic washers in between the resin and and the PCB for this exact reason. The nuts are supposed to sit tight, however again, due to tolerances in the resin, sometimes they don't. I only loosely tighten the screws that go into them so that they can still be removed if needs be. Don't try to super glue them, the fumes will cause all kinds of issues with the PA12 (I speak from experience!) Unfortunately these are all aspects of such a small design, and trying to squeeze everything in.

Now, it also looks as though you have a small break in your outer shell:

I'll send you a replacement with a new resin, and add in some of the plastic spacer washers you need also. Pickup with you over PM.

Received my sign yesterday and installed it today. It looks amazing and exceeded my expectations. Build quality is great and was easy to install. Definitely the best mod I’ve ever purchased and I can’t wait for the Lolly ufo bundle. Well done sir!

#1029 1 year ago

Installed, played, impressed! Well done sir!!

#1030 1 year ago

I just got my sign and installed it over the weekend. What a beautiful mod. It's so well done and integrates seamlessly into the game. I have purchased almost every single mod there is for this game. This by far is my favorite addition. A must have for anyone looking to keep this pin in their collection

I must say I originally thought it would be too bright. But after installing it I love it.

#1035 1 year ago

Can you please add me to the reservation list? And Thanks! This is a cool mod.

Glad you're enjoying it! But if you do end up finding it a bit bright, you can always turn it down a bit using in the settings.

Quoted from jellikit:

I would like to thank Davey for donating a Tokyo Neon Sign mod to Project Pinball for our charity auction to be held at Pinball Expo. The overseas support is awesome and greatly appreciated. We look forward to having it available at the auction and show it off! Thanks again!
[quoted image][quoted image]

I would like to thank Davey and Stumblor Pinball once again for their generous donation. The mod ended up selling for $325, it was definitely a hit and had plenty of Godzilla owners stop by the booth to check it out. Thanks again for the overseas support of the charity!

Wow.. that's amazing news Brad! Huge respect for all the hard work getting the auction together, and for your work on the Pinball Project. It really does look like a fantastic initiative doing valuable work for kids who need it most.

Haha I'd love to, but the projects are stacked 3 deep at the moment! Have you checked out the atg1469 topper? It's super rad.
