    when I bought my EFTLW , it looked similar to this. I couldn't see shit. It was unplayable. Took me 4 1/2 hours to change out the GI's in this game.

    Quoted from mrossman5:

    If your eyes need some soothing....
    This is a Rollergames which I just recently finished. Everything is Sunlight from Comet which I HIGHLY recommend. Just the perfect in between for warm and cool. In fact, I can't rave enough about Comet. Their service, selection of products, and quality of their products never ceases to amaze me.

    How did you illuminate behind the flippers in the drain? I don't have any bulbs back there. Or is that light spilling in from somewhere else?

    I assume its a mod. Pretty common these days and new sterns added lights there

    He must have glow in the dark pinballs, because that's the only way you could see when to flip.

    Throw one of these strips (https://www.cometpinball.com/products/lighting-strips I'd choose 10SMD) on the underside of the apron and connect using a comet quick connect bulb and you are good to go. A very simple and cheap mod that makes a bug difference. You can use alligator clips, although I would recommend going the quick connect route.

    #5863 3 years ago

    it's complete bullshit that there is even a choose your color box. WTF is the point of having it, if you can pick a color?

    Just completed surgery on this Twilight Zone. So much better. The middle picture shows the bulbs I pulled out of this. There were over 15... THATS 15, color changing bulbs in this. There were pink, yellow, green, and purple flashers. The inserts were lit with a random assortment of colors... including pink! WTF were they thinking!!!

    Nice job Doctor, looks like this patient is going to pull through.

    PM'ing @brobra, as a great example of saving a pin and returning it to its former glory!

    #5870 3 years ago

    Just zoomed in on the translite, great art - the logo is vibrant, colors totally on par with the original Twilight Zone lightning scheme. Even to us non pukers, its incredible to see just how great a game looks in it's original form. Tks SantaEatsCheese for sharing and starting us on a great 2021!

    Now, I want to find a TZ for myself!!!

    #5871 3 years ago

    This one looks amazing. After seeing this before and after, I’m converting to the non puke club. Thanks Saltimbanco for the heads up.

    It does look amazing - what a good game as well. Too bad you don't see such games like TZ in the wild, it would turn even more people to the hobby. The full gameplay and theme integration!

    For reference here's the Big Guns I just completed. All the GI and translite is 1 SMD frosted warm white from Cointaker. Inserts are color matched 2 SMD. You can actually see all the artwork, and it looks fantastic! Whoever had the idea to mask certain parts of the translite so that they don't light up was a genius.
    PXL_20210110_040934628.NIGHT.jpgPXL_20210110_040934628.NIGHT.jpg

    There is one exception. I added red and orange bulbs to the translite cannons since those are controlled lights and only light up every so often. I think it makes the animations of the them firing stand out a bit more and it looks more like an actual explosion, and they don't ruin the artwork since they only light up temporarily.

    just for the record for those that come on here and don't understand the difference between a controlled light and a GI (aka General Illumination). If the game can control them individually, they are not a GI. So in this case, the sockets he has red and orange in, are not GI sockets. They would be the same as putting colored LED behind an insert. Which is acceptable since it doesn't hinder vision. Hence why Color is such a big NO NO for a GI socket.

    I’m actually not touching this, but I’m not keeping it either.
