I have converted two pins and used Cointaker kits for both with GREAT results. The first pin I did was a Data East Star Wars and then I did a LOTR. What I like about the kits is that they are going to get you a great new look that you can then customize. After playing the pin for a week or two, you get to make your personal changes and touches for just a few dollars by switching out a handful of key LEDs. So, I may have spent an extra $30 making each of these machines look like a million bucks, but it is well worth it to me!
