High Speed
Williams, 1986All inserts, pop-bumpers, and the top upper PF with LED's. G.I. and flashers reg. incadescents. I put blue frosted LED's on the tach. wheel in the middle of the pf where the clear inserts are. I did this because I had white frosted and it was too bright. How does it look? Its a camera phone, and is not best quality pic, but it is better in person. Ultra Bright Green upper PF! I also changed 2 flasher domes from red to blue!!!............Dispatch.....He got away!! He....WHAT!!!
Thanks! I got the idea of putting in the green ultra brights in the upper corners from the video. It shows purple ultra brights, but I thought green would fit in alot better in the color scheme. I do like the blue frosted under the clear inserts so it cut down the "blinding effect" from the white Led's I had in there, plus the art color in the area is blue so it fits nicely. Check the video out....
Looks awesome Jeff!
I noticed that you have the old metal lift channel on the bottom of the backglass. I use the same.. Have you had any issues with getting the backglass to sit lower in the slot in the backbox? I can't seem to get mine to go down anymore and the scores are cut off a bit.. like you can't see the bottom segments.
I tried a different lift channel, but same issue.
Any thoughts?
Hmmm.. mine has the metal also and it slides right in. Can the channel it sits in be spread a little with a flathead?
YZ: I can try that. I do believe the backglass slides in all the way, but the score displays are still too low (meaning the backglass isn't far enough down).
I thought about adjusting them, but they're not really adjustable.
Basically the bottom segments aren't too visible while playing the game. Either the bg needs to somehow sit lower, or maybe the whiteboard needs to rise up?
IDK
Pretty sure the backglass is down far into the slot.
The only things that could be off are either the white board somehow isn't attached at the right level or the displays aren't at the right level.
The displays only really have one area that can be attached to though. Perplexed.
Quoted from nosro:This looks very close to what I am trying to achieve. Which LEDs did you use? For example, around the tachometer, did you use 1-LED or 3-LED units frosted lights? Were they narrow angle or wide angle?
Just used frosted led's around tack wheel. The clear inserts got blue frosted led's looks much better, then the bright in your eyes white.
Quoted from eh97ac:Regular Vs LED when I had two of them.
Haha hey thats mine! It's still going strong!
I replaced the upper PF area with Blue LED's kinda like the above video shows. But it looks basically the same.
