    This is my game. Does this qualify me for the rainbow puke club? LOL, it’s beautiful in person.

    Quoted from tpir:

    I like that he snuck his weak high score into the picture as a subtle brag as well. Might be able to break 3b if you could actually see the table!

    Uh, I literally am mid restoration. I’ve played maybe 10 games. I’m sure I’d kick your ass at it. Really. Bring your pacifier and blankie, son.

    Really though, despite what all of you say, it’s beautiful in person. It’s not hard to play. It doesn’t give me migraines. It’s more subdued in person, and it’s brighter and more pronounced than original. Say what you will, to each their own.

    I guess you guys aren’t putting LED bulbs in your 1979 Ford Pintos? Ha ha....

    Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:

    Yes, you are an official puke club member.

    Thanks, ha ha. I’ll admit that I was anti-LED rainbow vomit on my machine prior to this. My TZ is mostly incandescent. This may have moved me toward LED. The difference is undeniable. More vibrant, better overall visibility. However, I think LED OCD is almost a must. I used non-ghosting and still there is some noticeable jitter. So it goes...

    Quoted from Mitch:

    It looks like shit. Straight up. If you dont agree your in the wrong club thread.
    Its trash and I'd pay you less for it as you have downgraded it.

    Maybe you're missing the point of my post. I'm simply stating that pictures don't do a good job at representing what a machine looks like in person. The picture makes it look very washed out, when in person, it's not that way. It's over saturated in the picture. Again, not that way in person.

    It doesn't look like shit in person. I'm sure you'll disagree, as you seem to be that type. I'll leave it at that! =)

    Well I was following this thread. Not anymore! Good luck in life, I’m sure it’s easy for all of you with that kind of attitude. Lol.

    Quoted from Mitch:

    I thought your whiny bitch ass wasnt following this thread anymore but you kept coming back to downvote my posts.
    Get a life bud and move on.

    Uh, you are following me to other threads and commenting on my posts. How about we get back to pinball?

    Quoted from Mitch:

    I have about 60 threads I follow including pinball horror pics. Dont flatter yourself.

    Flatter myself? Ha. You seem to think I’ve been in this hobby for 2 years. Try over 2 decades. I’ve been fixing and restoring machines since you were in grade school. And I don’t get my gratification from arguing with people on pinside. I pick my battles and I pick them wisely.

    Let’s both agree to let it go and move on with our own lives. After all, this is a forum to enjoy pinball, even if we don’t agree on LEDs in GI. Let’s drop it and move on with life. Bigger fish to fry like jobs, family and my STTNG restore.

    I unpuked my TZ today. Over time, the blues and purples wore on me. I’m going to do the backbox too. And I need some replace the led strip above the back to the playfield and wire up the trough strip. But, mostly done. Stinking TZ, you have to damn near pull the entire topside off to get to all of the bulbs. Ah well, worth it.

    Thanks for stealing my picture and re-posting in this thread. =)

    And yes, it's in my plans to remove all of the blue. While it was cool initially, now it just hurts my eyes.
