So looks like the sample game that's been posted a bunch of times over the last few months is now in my possession! Time to do it justice and replace 3 broken plastics, install the cliffy's, cointaker LED's, TILT Graphics side decals and so forth. I'm on the list for the new 3D junk car mod. I'll also be adding ColorDMD and PinballPro speakers in a few weeks.

They are red.

Here's the sample game now fully shopped.
New legs, levelers, bolts
New rubber & balls
New star posts
NVRAM installed
3 new plastics incl. the upper cars but will swap that with the 3D painted one when gets here
Cointaker LED's
Blue translucent LED lit buttons
Blue translucent shooter
Blue corner protectors
Laminated apron cards
New matching locks
Pounded flat some divots in the fridge eject and the metal subway.

I got the "old friends" rusty VW van but haven't decided if I will use it or pain the blue van or what.
I will likely add ColorDMD and PinballPro speakers like my other games in a few weeks.

Looking into the magnet situation. Has anyone ever gotten it to work?

Installing and lighting a replacement magic bus:

Swapped the bus out for the "old friends" model. Used the existing bracket with no modifications so go back to original at anytime.

Remove the blue rubber bus and take off the metal bracket. Open the new bus (2 philips screws). Tape the window plastic in place with aluminum tape which helps with the lighting and also baffles the light from shining up and out the roof. Mount a blue (or other color) led strip inside the model.

Then sandwich the model over the metal bracket and put the 2 screws back into the model. Nice and snug. No glue or anything else is needed to hold it.

The wires from the blue led strip come out by the right back tire. Zip tie them to the metal bracket and drop down and existing hole in the playfield. Then Install the assembly back on the playfield.

Use aligator clips to attach to any GI light to keep it lit full time.

I'm going to end up attaching it to the magic bus diverter though so it only lights during magic bus mode. Need to figure out what if any resistors to add to the leds don't blow out.
