Dear folks,

I would like to collect some comments and eventual requests for a new production of LED displays for Williams Banzai Run pinball machines.

We are almost ready for the prototype production, just finalizing the layout and it would be interesting to know if anyone here would be interested in such a product.

To make it clear, this project is intended to replace the whole board which included the bulbs, the controller board and the displays into a single PCB.

UPDATED PRICE:
The final pre-sale price is 289$ (shipping excluded)

UPDATE:
The display is available from the pinside shop!

Perfect
Feedback looks already interesting.

I'll post some pictures when I'll receive the prototype.

Cheers

Hi,
I'm sorry for that, I know it's quite a budget but the size of this display is totally out of standards.

Moreover, we will provide a full plug&play display with integrated super LED bulbs to replace the old classic bulb sockets and bulbs.

If you put all those details together I'm quite sure that it will be the best solution ever available on the market soon.

RevA is being produced and I should be able to publish the first pictures in June.

thanks for your comment, that's exactly the point

Hi Chad, we have it available since a while now so I imagine that you mean having it cheaper or you maybe didn't see it because at least in Europe it is the cheapest on the market.

Hi,

to be honest we have been thinking of several options but at the end we decided that the best thing would have been to deliver a real snap in display, something you don't need to play around to install it, just remove the old one and place the new one and this for several reasons:

- you may be missing the original display
- or it could be just cracked
- you may want to have recycle the old one

Regarding the PCB size, your friend didn't think about the screws fixing points which are at the edges of the board, you can't just have a smaller PCB because you can't fix it.
Playing with alternative solutions would bring you back to complicated hacks and lot of time to have something which would remain a collage of approximative fixes.

Of course, this is my humble opinion based as well as on other considerations and as I said before, we started from similar ideas you just exposed but we finally dropped them.

I'll post pictures soon as I'm getting the first units in stock in few days.

So finally here you have the spoiler video:

First display has been installed on a Banzai Run.

Looks really good!

I have been asked to publish a picture of the final display, here it is:

Regarding the pricing, we finally have reduced it to 289$ for the pre-sales in this thread, after the pre-sale period they will be sold from the pinside market at normal price.

Currently finalizing the pre-sale order list.

Hello again,

closing the pre-orders on Sunday.
If anyone still interested please send me a PM, I still have one display available.

Thanks for the feedback and sincere apologies for the J5 key pin mistake.

We finally spotted our mistake and corrected it already on all the boards in stock.
For the boards already sold we are available to help you easily solving the problem (if still needed) by PM
