Quoted from PoMC:

What about a wall target for The Shadow? That could be really cool looking and noticeable because the Battlefield drop on Shadow can't really be seen.

Yes, it would look great with a brick pattern that would really light up with a red led.

I just installed the drop target on my Shadow.

The quality of the drop target is far superior than the official replacement target I had on my game from BAA. The original yellow target was soft and flimsy, and actually had broken.

The target I received with this kit is stronger and appears to be much better quality. And it seems to snap up and down better as well. The original target is actually crap compared to this one.

The lighting effect is very bright. I didn't specify which color when I ordered, and ended up with white. I think the target with the brick pattern will look better with a red light, and I will change it out. But the flex bulbs can be positioned such that the light really travels throughout the transparent target so that it looks self illuminated. If anything, it is overly bright.

The bracket to mount the socket should be different. I needed to be bend it to mount to the underside of the playfield to accommodate the installation with the attached wires. I suggested that the kit change to a "z" style mounting bracket, rather than the "L" bracket that came attached to the socket.

Attached are some pics. The glowing target is very noticeable and a big improvement from the original.

Once you install the kit, it's easy enough to change colors with a different flex bulb. The brick pattern is better in red.

Quoted from indypinhead:

Sale ends tomorrow bump....

Any chance you could do a version for the Stern Metallica inline rollover drop targets?

You'd be selling three targets per order for interested buyers. Just use the cross design from the decal. The illuminated version would be very cool.
