What do you think? Has anybody done this I think it looks great. I got a hold of a LE apron for my Premium and put some lights underneath. It has a really cool red glow to it. I wish Tron had a blue version of this. For those about to mod.......................we salute you!!!

Sweet! I am doing a metal version with cut outs....at the PC place now.

#3 11 years ago

My apron has been on order for a month. I was planning on doing this when mine arrives. Well done!

#4 11 years ago

How many lights did you install? I may try it tied in with the lightning bolt flashers.

What is different in the LE apron?

Quoted from BillP:

It's a translucent red plastic (and the premium one is normally a non transparent black plastic)

I installed to cold cathodes underneath and I am getting some light from Cointakers led flipper buttons as well. I think it really looks cool.

I did it as well but I didn't add the lights underneath. That looks very nice. I left off the decals tho so it keeps it from being too dark

Looks great. I picked up a LE apron with the same idea in mind. Nicely done.

Where did you guys get the LE apron?

#11 11 years ago

Nice pinheadpuckguy. How many lights did you put under there?

#12 11 years ago

2 cold cathodes and the light from the Cointaker led flipper buttons is all.

I called around and was told the part couldn't be ordered from stern?!

Obviously someone found them- if you have a source- please PM me!

The LTBR aprons are no longer available. However, you can order the transformers apron, which is exactly the same minus the two holes for the apron lights that are needed for AC/DC premium. I ordered two aprons, and I'm pretty sure I have a drillbit to take care of adding the holes.

Contact Terry at pinballlife. He'll get it for you.

I think I'm going to add some flashers under the apron. I'm not sure what I'll tie them in to yet, but I think a few flashers would look cool. Maybe I'll tie them in to the canon.

Hmm. Terry's the one who said they couldn't be ordered, but then again, I HAD asked him for the ACDC apron not transformer one.

There's a misunderstanding here. I do not have these aprons.

Uh Oh....

Maybe Orange Hemi can get them and add his famous "under the apron flash kit".

So does anyone have a source where you can buy the translucent aprons? I just bought an AC/DC premium, and would love to put this apron on it. I would also take the transformers one and drill the holes myself if need be.

Pinball refinery may have some .They also sell a light kit for the apron. Ask Hemi.Check out pinball refinery.com for lots of cool mods. Cannon upgrade is a must. He is a great guy. I was going to do this mod also but went powdercoat instead.
