I have been working on a xenon project for a couple years and finally made it to the display part of restoration. Always preferred the look of original plasma displays .these uno displays give me the best option for that original look.I chose the diy kit.Items arrived quickly and very well packaged.Overall quality of components was excellent.Build time was about 5 1/2 hours for me to get them completed.It was my first time doing these so subsequent builds will go much quicker.This is white displays so I had some other color filters included.There are many tiny solder connections so as suggested it would be best to break up your sessions.I hammered down and did most of it on first day.My eyes we a bit fatigued as a result but no permanent harm done.Looking forward to getting them into my game soon.More pics to follow.Install complete & looking great!This is a white set.First pic is with blue filters,pic two is natural white.

Just ordered a 7 digit white set and gels. Looking forward to getting them assembled and into my Fathom. For some reason three of my original displays have gone all at the same time. Each with different small issues. Time to eliminate the issue entirely and move to LED.

How do the filters go on? Do they fall off easily?

Which style are people getting - the uno or the duo? I get the benefit of adjustment of the uno, so not sure what the benefit is of the duo?

I have the new style unos in my xenon and it looks stellar. Way better than old style LEDs: these new styled digits make a world of difference. The filters attach with tape and the surround foam locks them in place so they don't pull against it. It helps to work a good crease into the filter when installing.

Can you add Lost World to your display mock up link?

I'd love to know how much a set of these for a Stern Nine Ball would cost but there's no prices listed on the site?

Wayne closed stuff down to relax over the Thanksgiving weekend. We just had dinner with him and he said he just needed a break so he closed down for a few days. I expect he will likely be doing the same thing over Christmas.

If you are not in business for yourself you likely will not understand but the stress of running a business and keeping up with everything takes a toll on you and sometimes you just need a few days of "down time" so you can hit the road running again. Unlike having a "real job" running a small business doesn't end at dinner time and you don't get weekends off. Seven days a week - 12 to 14 hours a day is my typical schedule. Wayne isn't that crazy but he still works some long hours at times.

Figured I would post a reply because I doubt he will be looking at Pinside until Monday.

I’m looking to get these for my Eight Ball Deluxe and Evel Knievel. Any issues using the Uno kit instead of the traditional? Will the Uno be a drop-in or will I need some sort of modification for an EBD or EK install?

I'm not 100% positive, but the only modification will be to kill your high voltage. I went the extra step and removed the connector pin that supplies the high voltage to the displays so there's no chance of it ever seeing it.

No modifications needed when using the UNO displays. As suggested, you could remove the high voltage fuse is you want to, but it's not necessary.

You'll be re-using the screws that hold the display holder (metal piece). So you need to remove the display holder before installing the UNO displays. I've put them on 3 different machines and like them very much.

I've only got one set of UNOs built and installed but they didn't even include the connector pin for the high voltage (excellent idea), so removing the wire or the fuse isn't entirely necessary.

acebathound do you recommend pulling the #1 header pin out of the connector, cutting the connector down to 9, or can I use a 9 pin connector in that spot? (I think there are some in the bag) My first try, and I just got to step 15.

Ah, nevermind. It seems you include a 10 and a 9 pin connector for this, and I can leave pin 1 exposed. I recommend an edit of step 15 in the instructions.

When you say removing fuses is that all the fuses in the bottom of the game? I have Centaur. I also see one fuse on the SDB, do I remove that as well?

Only the fuse on the SDB, which is high voltage for the displays. Also not entirely necessary per the post you quoted since the displays don’t have the header pin on them.

Hello fellow Pinsiders,

I felt like I should write a few words regarding the Pinitech displays.

I am one to research everything extensively before making a decision, and after spending hours going through the forums, these displays seemed to meet my financial and performance needs.

After receiving the Uno 7-digit displays, I spread the assembly of them all over a couple of days. The first one took the longest for me, as I took my time, but the rest fell into place quickly. The instructions were very easy to follow, and all of the displays work perfectly with my limited experience.

What a great product!!

I am very impressed with the quality of the product and especially happy with the color match to the original displays. These will certainly be my go-to product on all display replacements in the future.

Between ordering these displays and the short time of them arriving, I had acquired another machine that had a set of competitors displays already installed in the game. In my opinion, they don’t even compare. Pinitech’s displays and filters look so much better and identical to stock displays. And, they are practically invisible when the game is not on - unlike the other game, which always has the visible segments.

On a side note, I should mention that I went with the white displays and am using the orange filters. Two color filters (in a list of many to choose from) are included with the display set, along with a smoke grey, which will be able to suit every need - either for a stock or custom look…and at a very affordable price!

Thanks Wayne at Pinitech for all of your hard work in producing such a great product! All of your time and effort spent making sure these were just right has surely paid off.

Do not hesitate to purchase your next set of displays from Pinitech - you will not be disappointed!

Indeed. Dude rules.

Just received my 6-digit Uno kit for my Bobby Orr's Power Play and am looking forward to putting them together. Packaging of the components was outstanding and the instructions seem very straightforward. I'll post up some pics of the finished project after I'm done. I'm excited to get this last "big" thing done to my machine. The plasma displays have been suffering for a while, now.

Finished installing the displays into my BOPP yesterday. I am very impressed with how they turned out. They look *exactly* like the originals, which is what I wanted. Color is great, fitment is great! Assembly was straightforward, too. The kits are well organized. I am an average solderer, and used a 25W Weller pencil iron for the job. I did have a small vise and a magnifying headlamp which really helped me, also. The first board took me about 2 hours to put together, but after that I think I got down to about 45 minutes. I also took the opportunity to re-pin all the display end connectors in the backbox since I was in there, and I removed the high-voltage fuse from the rectifier board since I don't need it anymore.

Overall, I'm very happy with the result and I would say if you're thinking about updating your displays, even if you're not a super-star solder wizard, consider these.

Been meaning to post this but I kept forgetting. I have the same thing to say as everyone else… I love these Pinitech UNO displays. I don’t buy anything else when doing a restore. My soldering skills are average at best & I’ve never had a problem assembling these. This is the 3rd set I’ve assembled. White displays with gel inserts.

This Ali was a unique project that involved modifying the existing code to add more rules & features. The code was altered to support 7-digit displays, so no more score rollovers. I always use a secondary color gel insert in the credit display for a unique look. There’s nothing wrong with the 4th player display, as it shows the high spinner rip to date in the attract mode.
