Same here! About an hour and 45 minutes start to finish with clean up and narrating the work to a 3.5 year old. Works amazing and no adjustments needed! No more balls getting hung up on switches (which even happened as I was clearing the trough for the install) or switches not registering. Played a few games and ran a few tests and this thing is smooth. Thanks again!

Mine arrived today, fantastic! Finally got rod of this old problem on my Tales from the Crypt! It's annoyed me for years!
Only problem I have is that I can't get the door closed without removing the coin mech and it's bracket. Not a big deal, but the PCB fouls on the top of the bracket.
Thanks for a brilliant upgrade for my machine.
Cheers

I finally made some time yesterday to install this beautiful piece of work, all I can say is wow!
LAH runs better than he ever has before, no more balls stuck in the trough!
Thank you Davi you rock!

Finally got around to installing my opto trough board in my TFTC.....I had some reflection issues from the top of the trough - which is noted in the manual, but I took a different approach - instead of scuffing up the shine on the metal or putting black tape down - I decided it was better to simply gun-blue the metal. Turned out very well - worked perfectly. In fact, I would recommend doing it straight out - it needs to be done any way. It was fairly straightforward to do - the longest time is spent running power from the head to the trough (if you so choose to do). As recommended I tapped power at the Sound Board - but I simply replaced the IDC connector with an Trifurcon Molex and ran a simple tap for 12V while making up the connector.....I also reused the clear trough protector by making up 2, 15mm standoffs and putting it back on.... Thanks Davi

Hello Everyone,

Well worth it!
Put me down for one. Will let you know if I will ship to US or Canada once you get ready to ship. I assume it doesn't matter what game it is for (Tommy or GnR)? Thanks.
Quoted from Gunner:Davi,
Any plan to do more Data East ball trough opto boards?

Quoted from Pinballocd:With harness? Please explain??
The board needs 12V DC input.
Depends of your existing installation, we have 4 methods:
A: if the package contains power harness, and you don’t have power supply. Applicable for Factory
sound board and PinSound.
B: if the package contains power harness, and you don’t have power supply, but you use Power Booster
harness by PinSound. Applicable only for PinSound.
C : you have 12V power supply. Wire the GND and 12V DC to the opto board.
D: you don’t have power supply, you did not order power harness: you have to hook GND and 12V DC
from the backbox on your own.
For A and B, I can offer plug&play harness (need to solder one end to opto board).
In case of C and D, you have to provide power source.

Ok so I have a pinsound board and pinsound shaker. So are you saying I can plug into the pinsound power tap plug? I believe they have a extra plug coming of of it. Is this correct?
Thanks!

Yes, you can put my harness to the sound board, then connect the original connector to the harness. Very easy.

I'd like one with harness for my JP, if it's not too late.
Thanks
