Pinbot
Williams, 1986I was thinking about modding my Pinbot with lit flippers, kinda like what's on this page:

Wanted to make it myself as its easy. My only question is if anyone knows where i should wire the leads off the LEDS. Thanks!
You can always connect them to the lamps at the coin door. Vid posted some pics of the connections in his how-to:

Yep, I did Vid's mod on my flipper buttons. Only additional thing I had to do was I found a LOT of bleed through light between the apron and the side of the cab coming up near the shooter. To fix that I doubled up some painters tape with a slight offset and made a 'flap' about the flipper under the apron and then hit it with a slight coat of black spray paint.
