Reserved for pics and video.

I only got the crumbs from those heart-shaped cookies. Glad you enjoyed them.

Orange has now been ordered. 7 colors. Any requests for others. I now have red, green, blue, yellow, purple, orange and white.

I will check that out on my ST Pro again. I was contemplating that for reals. What color do you think?

Cookies are free when it's a special occasion. She also sent pumpkin bread to our 10 biggest customers. BTW, I didn't get any of that.

Remember this kit uses every flasher in each game. ST Pro has 11 flashers and ST Prem/LE has 14. And of course you choose the colors you want. No two games may be alike due to personal preference.

I just put a prototype together today with 2 feet for each color. I played in the dark and it was crazy.

Video. I used all the flashers/all 7 colors and it even lights when the cross moves on my Premium. It's a long video through several multi balls. You need to be careful with white, it flushes the other colors out when it comes on, otherwise the colors are vibrant.

I just watched the wife play without white and holy cow! Awesome. New video tomorrow.

Video without white LEDs. Only red, blue, green, yellow and purple. Orange is on it's way!

Here is an example of how to choose your colors. The flash lamp sheet will be provided when ordering. Here is an example for Metallica that I would use. All 13 flashers will be utilized.

Red for each ramp.
Yellow for the back panels to match my MEZELmod yellow speakers.
Green for Snake.
Blue for the coffin insert to match the MEZELmod hammer blue LED.
Blue for pop bumpers.
Purple for the grave markers, when the grave marker goes up and down and the grave marker 2x flashers.
Etc...

If at anytime you want to change a color, a new strip can replace the previous one. Worst case if you sell you machine, you can remove it and reconfigure it.

All parts have been acquired. PCB will be ordered this week. I think the price point is coming in nicely.

The MEZELmods flasher bus board has been ordered this weekend. Should have available for show at the Rocky Mountain Pinball Showdown and Gameroom Expo.

The bus board has been shipped! I imagine this mod will be ready for its unveiling this weekend!

The boards have arrived. Built harnesses and tested on Metallica. It works wonderfully. Metallica Premium/LE has 12 flashers and the motor driven cross with LED strips synced accordingly. 6 colors to choose from. This board is built to be compatible with all of the new Sterns.

Here's a pic of the boards. I will take a picture of the whole thing tomorrow and take some video. Will announce the early adopter pricing info here soon.

Just a sample what this does with just the Super Skill shot. This is mounted on some scrap plastic I had. The final version will be mounted on cut plastic with Velcro. The plastic is wide enough to hold 15 strips which is the max that any game has.

Pic of the flasher assembly, strips can easily be replaced with other colors, if needed.

After a detailed investigation, it looks like this kit will be compatible with 53 machines. Remember that means you can move it from machine to machine and just change the color of the strips. So if you sell your machine, keep it! I will be making replacement strips very reasonable priced for those that buy the initial kit.

1. Stern SAM systems (23 machines)
2. Sega Whitestar (14 machines)
3. Stern Whitestar (16 machines)

I moved the kit from Metallica to my Sega Star Wars Trilogy last night and it worked! The color choices were not the ones I would choose, but I validated how easy it is to change machines, if you were to sell that one, or you just want to move it. After I debut the kit in Denver this weekend, I will finalize everything.

I will be looking for willing participants in the beginning for certain machines which will include a killer deal.

The board is mounted on standoffs on the plexiglass that the LEDs strips are mounted on. The board is simply attached with industrial strength Velcro for simple removal. It does come with the cables that piggy back into the J6 and J7 connections. I am now using 1.5 feet for each LED strip and am confident that it provides a great light show.

If you watch my real short video, you can see in many cases the flashers don't always come on at they same time, they sequence, which is very cool. When the flashers do come on at the same time, since the LEDs are next to each other you can see both colors and some mixing. There are so many combinations it's hard to explain. Since you can pick your colors, the combinations are very large. A lot of videos I see with the undercab mods are during a multiball sequence, when tons of lights are going off, I personally get the satisfaction when just one flasher is activated and the one color just pops. On Metallica, when the cross rises and lowers, it has a really cool purple glow for several seconds.

And yes, you can have all the yellow you want. What I can also do for a very reasonable price is to make a short piggy back cable, to piggy back on your piggy back.

Luci ready to go, 15 flashers, one flasher hooked up to two colors.

Colors, detonator will do both red and yellow.

Luci and Metallica working flawlessly in Denver!

5. Customer choice of what colors to associate with each flasher and low current powered devices
6. LED color strips are 1.5 feet long with 27 5050 SMD LEDs each providing enough flash not to be overpowering
7. Designed for easy removal when using a lift to move your game
8. Can be removed and put on any other of the above systems, colors can be reassigned to match new machines color scheme

Looks like we have folks that also want the back of backbox accessory as an option. I will be offering the same design with with a smaller footprint. You will be able to order it by itself or with the undercab kit. I suppose you could also put it on top of the backbox as well to project the lightshow on the ceiling.

Picture of one of the harnesses, nice and clean.

The harness comes out of the bottom of the backbox and goes down the back to the undercab.

You bet, you can change the colors if you need to. The strips are adhered to the board with their own adhesive backing and wire connected with the quick connects on the bus board, they are not soldered, only the wires to the. LEDs are soldered. The board is attached with Velcro, so you can remove it for testing or for the use of a lift.

I will sell replacement strips for cheap if you decide to change any of them.

You can even add another color later, like I did on ACDC detonator, instead of just red, it does red and yellow. Cool!

Here's a link to all the supported games.

PM me and a couple of these will qualify for the $20 off.

The LED board is attached with Velcro and the harnesses can be unplugged from the LED board too. This is how I got it to the Denver show and back. Lift friendly!
