Quoted from Ricochet:

This thing scares the shit out of me! So far I've only had to do the patent screen... very tiny, easy to do.
I've been staring at this for a few days. Gonna wait until I have the guts and nothing else to do.[quoted image]

I hear you on this but it's not too bad. Plan to have back up to clean it up quickly at the ready. I had my wife stand by while I mucked it up my first round. Practice on something like box is what I should have done. Oh, and have plenty of mentioned supplies at the ready to clean up the screens when you're done!

You're making quick progress!

I asked for Bryan's help and used this video quite a bit too. I won't say it's hard, but it's not as easy as it looks.

Quoted from Ricochet:

Did a quick LED test. This machine used to have colored LEDs for the inserts.
I’ve always thought ... yeah I’ll just leave them. Colored LEDs for inserts are fine right?
NOPE! I’m going with sunlights from Cometpinball.
That green just kills the red gradient, yellow and even the black colors of the insert. The last pic is the comet sunlight. It’s a frosted 2SMD. I’m going to try clear and no lens regardless... it looks spectacular! The ADVENTURE inserts need to use the flex bulb... so those will need to be a 1 SMD
For the record I don’t necessarily think that colored LEDs are always bad for inserts... you just need to be aware of the colors of the artwork and LED color choice when making a decision to use LEDs. For example a green LED would do fine on the green inserts of the wings on this playfield... as they are pure green. But for me I won’t mix ... I will keep them all alike.
I’m running these a little under voltage but both LEDs are placed at same distance to the insert. Also since it is at a reduced voltage the 1SMD may actually be better once I’m running at the correct voltage...either way green ain’t it!

That looks fantastic with the sunlights in there. I have green and this really shows I need to change.

I like the clear bodies myself in your picture and what I’ll likely do with my own.

Excellent job! I followed through and extremely well done. Hoping to be doing mine next year so this will be excellent!
