Quoted from snowy_owl:Machines like that should be considered broken.
And of course they don’t understand why you want to knock $150+ off so you can replace all the LEDs to reverse the carnage.
“What do you mean? I just put a bunch of LEDs in this thing!”
Quoted from mrmark0673:Better yet, how about this Vegas with "$1,000 in lighting"?
There's techs out there with no morals who charge crazy money for very simple stuff. It is possible that someone charged them 1k to just put LEDs in it 
I've seen techs convincing people they need $250+ "tune ups" every few months. Tried to convince someone selling a Firepower that $3000 was unreasonable. "But, I've put $1000 into it every year for the past 5 years." 
Quoted from FatPanda:Hey guys. New to pinball and wondering where I can get purple bulbs for my game? Please let me know as I think my games lit in white just look terrible and need to be purp'd out.
Yours truly,[quoted image]
blouses.gifLegit question: Is it possible some people see *better* with a purp’d out playfield? Like some backwards version of color blindness?
Still no excuse, though. Just curious why (typically) purple vs any other color when mono-puking the GI.
The question of "Why purple?" has been bugging me for a long time.
This thread shows that most people who choose to go with a solid, non-white GI almost always choose purple... why not green, yellow, or something else that would seemingly be more visible?
Found this on a website: "The natural lens of the eye blocks the passage of ultraviolet light to protect the retina, but the absorption cutoff is gradual. The deeper the violet color is, the more it is attenuated. Visible violet light is right at the edge of the region of the visible spectrum."
Maybe the folks who purp out their machines are ones where the lens doesn't filter lower frequencies as much. Where we see an unplayable mess, for them it might look like it's lit up like Times Square.
Anyway, food for thought.
... still looks like shit, though
Quoted from LesManley:HA! Where did you get that picture? That's my old Demo Man. I got it from the operator which was Eastside Pinball as you can see on the apron. Even though I had already played Demo Man a million times and was really good at it, I thought it would be fun to have at home. I was wrong. The operator had it all blued out at the time. I sold it pretty quickly after buying it. I know it's been sold at least one additional time since then.
Was on Facebook, not sure which group. Seems they *did* put white GI in the lower half of the playfield.
Quoted from LesManley:Dang it. Came here to post this but I figured you guys would beat me to it.
Ridiculous LED job ✅
Ridiculous price ✅
Ridiculous condition claim of home use only with a tax sticker on front ✅
This guy got a hat trick.
My local bar is my home away from home. That counts as home use, right?
