Quoted from Coyote:Wait, how come your DA-300 is blue? All mine are white!
He paid extra!
Quoted from acebathound:Wow that looks pimp with accenting the backglass & playfield with different colored lamps -- and then with the displays "not orange"
Are you going all one color or going to split blue and green? I like the green for sure, since you have a lot of blue lighting going on already (which looks sweet). Whatever you decide on, snap a picture.. definitely want to get that in the gallery!
Had to use LED's as the BG has flaked in parts...so matching LED to bg color
Leaning towards the blue/green combo on player 4, in person it's more of a sea foam green. I'll definitely post the final results.
Love these kits, so easy especially after a couple of completed boards.
Some tips for newbs and issues I ran into...all my issues
Take a pic of the 1st de-populated board, top and bottom....helps out with the next board in line.
New header pins (minus pin#1 ) solve issues....trust me.
Extra large solder blobs are bad, check your work.
Missing 1 solder point is bad, check your work.
Will glass prices drop as I flood the market with working units? 1 have a whooping 3 7-digits to sell off
ebay.com link: Used Ballyand Williams Displays for pinball machines
In case you need some boards
Anyone have 2 X 7 digit Bally glass displays in working order? Gonna go the other way with the bits and pieces from other conversions.
