Quoted from koji:both a pain and wear and tear on the machine to puke it out tho for a contest.
How about rather, we start another thread.. We can submit our candidates for the Puke Bowl. The winning candidate, if we can get their address, we'll all ship them some of the led puke we have accumulated from removals?
That sounds good .
Quoted from Engine09:Now I know who to blame, is Comet the biggest seller of these disgusting puke color lights? All that shit belongs in the garbage can.
We should lobby comet to put a disclaimer on the color bulbs.
* - not for use in GI.
lol

Comet's bulbs are great; it's not their fault people don't know how to use them!
Quoted from Knxwledge:[quoted image]
It was an absolute beauty at one point in its past.
The problem with a thread like this is that everyone who posts in it comes off as being "negative" and "judgmental".
I think that the people who LIKE clown puke should be philosophical about it. If you take any object and turn it into giant glowing blob of purple, there are going to be some people out there who are critical of it.
The people who like clown puke will of course say, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." Which is true. Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder.
But the actual objection with clown puke is that the game artwork was designed for medium-bright white bulbs, and sticking day-glo purple super-bulbs in them doesn't really "work" most of the time.
By "not working", I mean that if there is a character drawn on a translite who has a purple bikini, and you stick a purple bulb in there and NOW HER FACE AND LEGS AND ARMS ARE PURPLE, then your improvement didn't really work. You just turned the character into a blob of purple.
Is turning a bikini girl into a blob of purple an improvement?
I hate analogies, but look at it this way:
Suppose I bought a 1981 Porsche 928 like the one in "Risky Business", and I decided to paint it bright orange. So I went to Home Depot and got 10 rattle cans of orange Rustoleum and just hosed the car down with orange paint and got overspray all over the tires and the windows and headlamps.|
Then I took a rag with turpentine on it and wiped some holes in the windows to see out of.
That would probably provoke some criticism from the guys on the "928 Porsche Forum."
The nice thing about clown puke is that no matter how bad it is, it can be quickly cured by just swapping all the puke bulbs out with white ones.
And I will say that LEDs can be used to improve a game. I gently LED-ed the playfield insert bulbs in my Bally Atlantis and it is remarkable how new the inserts look. Mostly I just used moderately bright warm or cool white bulbs.
It's too bad they didn't have LED superbulbs back in 1665 AD.
They could have really made the girl with the pearl earring look awesome. Look at the pearl. I made it a super pearl.
If a girl with a pearl earring is GOOD, then obviously, MORE PEARL is GOODER.
More is always more gooder!
Quoted from Engine09:In general I find aftermarket toppers hideous, that just takes it to another embarrassing level of ridiculousness.
I dunno, this one kind of goes so hard into ridiculousness that it loops back to amazing
That topper *almost* eclipses the pinball machine it's meant to enhance.
But at the same time, it somehow makes the clown puke issue irrelevant in this particular case.
Deep ridiculousness looping back to amazing, then ethereally levitating to Auto-Meme nirvana.
This pic needs captions!
Quoted from Doug_Quaid:The problem with a thread like this is that everyone who posts in it comes off as being "negative" and "judgmental".
That's not a problem for me because I am negative and judgemental.
Clown puke lighting is still awful despite that.

At least they added LED's

Zombodroid_22032023042022 (resized).jpgThis has been listed several times in my local area. The ad opens with "This STTNG is one of the most beautiful games I've seen". I'm not sure how one can make that call, especially since you can't see anything on the playfield thanks to the blinding blue LEDs.

Pinside_forum_5674724_2007793.gifYou know what's weird about clown puke?
probably only 10% or so of people like it, but 100% of the LED kits are puke-o-gized

I never realized that 1/4 of Kim Basinger's head is blue in real life.
Good thing that pinball owner had a blue bulb to stick in the translite to make the graphic on his pin match Kim's blue face.
Quoted from RCA1:Color: Blue
Checks out!
More like "Color Blew!"
Quoted from Knxwledge:[quoted image]
How do people not see the colors getting crushed by the LEDs? Especially when they take a picture and it looks even worse because the camera blows out!
And that's with the Sun streaming in! *THE SUN* is being overtaken by *blue*!
