*All pre-order spots have been filled, but you can PM us and we will add you to our waiting list for the next order.*

Hi Everyone,

We are very happy with the latest version of Professor Pinball's Iron Man Chase Light Ramp Mod, and have decided to open up pre-orders for 10 people. The projected price for both ramps, control board and harness will be around the $200 mark. Once we have filled our pre-order list we will be able to send out actual prices.

The kit will be plug and play (no drilling!), All you will need to do is remove the ramps to install the chase lights using an easily removable double-sided tape. The entire install shouldn't take more than 2 hours and won't require altering your pin.

We are expecting to start shipping them in November.

Thanks for the support, we are looking forward to many more Professor Pinball creations!

P.S. We are working on Tron ramps for release number two!

Professor Pinball is a joint venture of Pinsider's LyonsDen and Prosedsp, two Arizona-based pinball fanatics.

Great question. They definitely aren't blinding and add a nice look to the game without being too bright.

EDIT: The light brightness can be adjusted too. The chase right now has the center pixel the brightest with a fade out along either side. We can dial it back for anyone that wants, but this has to be done when we program the controller card.

Will the lights be tied into gameplay or will they do the same type of Chase light sequence no matter what. Will the lights do different things like go on all at once, and then Chase, and then do something else.

Our lights are not tied into gameplay but we are working on it. We are still a long way away from that though. Once released it will be an easy upgrade, consisting of replacing the controller card and adding a wiring harness.

Nice set of custom ramp decals would cover up the light strip and allow the lights to still do there job. I like it other wise

I like them a lot, but unless they trigger from actually hitting the ramp, I'm not sure I see the point. That's all they really have to do (other than ideally go off during attract mode and maybe when large objectives are achieved) is trigger when you hit the ramp, that would be awesome, and make sense.

I was fortunate enough to play this exact machine last weekend for the afternoon, and what I can say is, it is absolutely stunning! Gives the machine very fluid visual effect . The lights are not blinding and I believe the colors and speed can be changed for for personal preference. They appear and feel as if that's how it came out of the box from the factory. Very well done professor pinball !

We are working on future releases that will interact with game shots. Once we get to that point current ramp chase lights will be easily upgraded by simply attaching a new controller board and wiring harness!

I was joking before, and Prof_Pinball showed himself to be a gentleman by laughing. In all seriousness now, I think simply triggering the light show with the ramp entrance switches would be elegant and really cool.

Man, I've had my finger on the trigger since the thread was eight minutes old. Not sure if it's the price (other custom led kits and their harnesses are under $100) or the look of them. Does the red look like that in person or is that an effect of the video? I wish we had a longer video with actual gameplay.....oh F it. I want them. I'm sending my PM now.....

I agree with other, that if this was integrated into the code and had a diffuser for the light strips, this would be huge. Turn on the full show for Bogey and pulse once when a shot is made. Great job on this one

Spot reserved! The reds in the video are looking a bit more pink than in real life, I think the saturation in the video needs a bit of tweaking.

Would you consider making a set of these as replacements for Data East Star Trek 25th Anniv pin?

They are badly needed for the game and have not been reproduced...that I can find. You'd have a large market for them and would not need to develop a controller board, just use the one already in the game.

Thanks

I'm in if you guys find a way to implement them like this....more interactive to the gameplay, than just chasing all the time.

The yellow top ramp flashers appear to fire when you hit the ramp shot so you could tie to that rather easily, although they also fire for a lot of other reasons. Tying to the switch matrix is probably best.
