Bezel, standoffs only needed on late run MET. With metal speaker panel. If you have wood panel from original style it will attach direct.

Once you put this in you'll love it! One of the best color jobs they've done.

Yes, you need them.

When they wrote that there was only the Metallica Pro LED model in the new cabinet style. Since then Stern has added the Premium. All that matters is that you need that kit for every single game that has the angled metal speaker panel that they've been using since Mustang.

Anything new from the factory has that now, no more wooden speaker panels.

Randy at colorDMD is a great guy so it doesn't surprise me. I made the same mistake but figured it was my screwup so I just sucked it up. It's cool that Randy would do that on the shipping. Like you I do wish it was a lot more in your face that you need it when ordering that you may need it. In my excitement I was ordering from my phone in line at magic kingdom which made it worse.

In that case I ordered the kit from pinbits which is different from Randy's. I did remember for my IM so I have Randy's kit in that game. Both are excellent but I prefer Randy's. Sorry pinbits I still love you. . In both cases you will get a pinbits clear dmd cover which you also need and is also excellent.

Congrats on the game and the wise choice of the colordmd. It's really hard to imagine it without it.

Will likely be an after xmas / bday present for myself as I don't think I can resist not having a ColorDmd for my Met Pro LED.

I recently bought a nib Metallica le. I also ordered a color dmd for it. I tried to install the new dmd and it seems the mounting screws are not long enough. Also there is a 1/2 space between the dmd and the frame need help!! Thx

If it's PRO LED or new-run Premium with the angled DMD panel, you need the standoff kit + clear shield on the colorDMD website (http://shop.colordmd.com/pinbits-clear-shield-and-mounting-standoffs-for-new-stern-cabinets/). Just follow the instructions. The install isn't quite as perfect as on the old style backboxes; there will be a slight gap. It doesn't bother me at all but some people have done things like put in black weather stripping to seal the gap.

If you really have an LE, though...I think those would all be from the original run and have the old-style backbox? In that case you wouldn't need the extra standoffs.

[duplicate]

Thx, just ordered the parts.

Guys a quick one, do colordmd support the new Spike Stern system or not yet ?

Sorry, not supporting SPIKE yet.

Did you need the Sam/Whitestar cable kit too? or is that included with the display purchase.
I'm gonna pull the trigger soon, just checking.
Thanks in advance.

Cable installation kit is included with the display.

I like that "yet"

No worries....POTC is not spike

Neither is Stern Indiana Jones.

Niether is Spiderman!!!!!

So I've been thinking of buying some for my games. Problem is that I flip through my games quick. Can these be switched over from one game to the next. For example, could I switch from a Metallica to and IronMan or do I have to buy a new one ever time I sell a game?

Yes easily swapped !

If you are installing any other type of speaker mods including sound LED mounts, replaced speakers of different sizes, or anything else, additional modifications are required to the ColorDMD mounting board beyond the clear bezel kit if you have the updated Stern "metal" backbox.
Longer standoffs to provide additional depth clearance are needed, but will not affect visibility of the display.

If this is the only thing you are doing to upgrade the speaker panel area, the clear bezel and standoffs suffice for the Stern updated "metal" backbox from ColorDMD.

You can alternatively buy the acrylic clear bezel from PinBits, if you have the standoffs in your parts inventory.
The clear bezel is this most critical component, for obvious reasons.
Do not over tighten the bezel and use proper spacers to distribute stress to prevent cracking!
