Capcom, 1996Here's a BBB picture I have. You can see a few things here.
1. In the lower left, there is a board that isn't in PM that means the OCD would have to mount higher up.
2. The fluorescent tube bracket looks like it may force use of the right column of standoffs with a narrow board and adhesive standoffs on the left edge.
3. Frankenstein LED OCD installation based on the Sys11 design.
Yeah, I realized I had basically hijacked this thread, and I decided it was time to start one of my own. Sorry.
Quoted from herg:Yeah, I realized I had basically hijacked this thread, and I decided it was time to start one of my own. Sorry.
Thats what this thread is about Herg. You're not hijacking you're helping us all out. 
Installed the LED OCD for BBB tonight and all I can say is WOW! The LED flicker is completely gone and now and the brightness is perfect with default settings. The software allows you to easily pull up your game with default settings for LEDs in the switch matrix individually. It perfect for people experimenting and tinkering with the software on their favorite game. The board is a must have for anyone annoying LED flicker especially in their Capcom games. Honestly, I was so bummed when I LED'd the BBB. The effort and money doing it was a waste without the board.
Thank you Herg aka Harold and the others that helped!
I just ordered an OCD board for my Airborne. Only one board is needed correct? The stock incandescents are way too dark and it definitely needs brightening.
Quoted from TheLaw:Correct.
Not correct. Breakshot is the only Capcom game with a single lamp matrix and simple AC GI lamps. Every other Capcom uses 2 full controlled lamp matrices for inserts and GI lamps. If you want to do a 100% swap of all of the 6V bulbs in the game you need 2 OCD boards for Airborne.
The Capcom LED OCD does control both lamp matrices using a single board. It does not control flashers, however.

Quoted from jake35:Thanks. Looking forward to putting it in.
That's what she said.

I just now ordered the board for my Airborne.
Really looking forward to this as the game is really dark as is.
Just so I understand this correctly, once installed I can replace everything except the flashers with LEDs?
Thanks in advance

Quoted from transprtr4u:Yes.... No LED flashers
Perfect, thank you.
Really looking forward to this.
Quoted from Coindork:Perfect, thank you.
Really looking forward to this.
where to order?

Yes, but I would also recommend installing the LEDs and verify they are working prior to installing the board. The LEDs will be very flickery, but they should all light and turn off.
Make sure you dont leave any incandescents in the machine at all. I hadn't replaced the backbox lights yet on my Airborne with LED but did the playfield, and it kept blowing one of the microfuses. The fuses on the LED board cant handle the higher power draw, once I replaced all the bulbs the fuse stopped blowing.

Great tips, thanks.
