I was considering these myself wasn’t sure how distracting they would be though. For $65 on Amazon might be worth some fun!

Yelobird unfortunately those cheap knockoffs are exactly that "cheap knockoffs" good for a birthday party or halloween and you would have to manually turn each one on/ off along with they are made extremely cheaply ,comparing the one on Amazon to the set that I am selling is like comparing an ARCADE 1 Pinball Machine to a Williams Attack from Mars,there are also ones for $600,$1200 and over $2000 per unit

Professional ones often pop up on Craigslist and on line business auction sites. No idea about Ebay.
LTG : )

Ok, so your telling me these are not the same Exact units Without the hand cut applied GnR stickers??? Interesting.

and yes those look exactly the same.
Quoted from delt31:what am I even looking at here?
Fancy rotating lights used for stage shows and concerts.
LTG : )
Yelobird Unfortunately the information your giving is not correct, there's other cheap brands on Amazon like Betopper another cheap knockoff for the $65 range.....at least Dr-pin knows there's professional ones and cheap ones, its a shame your misinforming people on here saying that the ones im selling are the same ones you found on Amazon because that is false statement ,and if someone does go on Amazon and buys a set for $140 they are gonna realize after they hook it up that they need a dmx controller plus cable to control it so you can also buy a cheap knockoff for that too for maybe $50 but who wants a dmx controller on top of their machine .Like I stated before good for Halloween or a kids party.
So what are you using to interface to the machine?
Seems like the built in sound activation would get the job done?

It looks like you are buying a product that already exists and then trying to play it off like you’re offering a new product made for this game. If that’s incorrect, it would make sense to highlight what you're offering.
Anyone can buy something and slap ugly stickers on it.
I bought a set of small moving lights off Ebay and did this to my Kiss Pro over 4 years ago. Lights were about $70 each.
I only needed to add a DMX link cable between the two. Set one to master and the other to slave. All sound activated. I even set the slave to mirror the master so they both didn't do *exactly* the same thing all the time.
The only problem is that these things are on ALL THE TIME. So yes, it does get annoying/distracting after a while. Now if they were somehow tied to the game logic and only activated during certain modes of the game, THAT would be a great mod.
Quoted from Mrsiyufy:I get that they are high quality but aren’t they just off the shelf units with GNR stickers on them ? Am I missing something ?
Wow, so we have two big questions here...
1) Are these the units basically found on Amazon for $70/ea and being sold here as a mod for $400 for the pair?
2) Looking at the picture in the quoted post, could those GnR stickers be any worse cut and applied?

Ok. If you read my reply and Question I simply said I was looking at something SIMILAR and asked if these were not the same as the ones you were using. For what its worth you didn't even promote this as a For Sale item which I figured was simply an owner doing some light upgrades on a GnR. I didn't see your FS add until after I said I was considering something like this though Not something I would sell. Look pretty much the Same to me but I'm not buying Nor selling so good luck! IF I was actually doing a concert with this Pinball Machine I would most certainly spend the extra money on the version with stickers.

I agree because without the stickers it simply wouldn’t be the same experience.

Hey Robert I think you would achieve the desired effect by using a select flasher as a trigger. I made a thread describing how I did it here: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/diy-concert-light-topper
I was thinking of the lights being completely OFF until the desired mode is activated. But I like what you did.
So did OP at least make the stickers for this or can I find them with the right google search?
