Thanks! The LEDs really make the backglass shine. All the pop bumpers and flippers are really strong and the sounds are perfect. I'm restoring two. One to sell and one to keep.
Machines looks awesome, but that backglass looks really bad IMO. The clown puking doesn;t really seem to fit the theme, or the artwork itself.
What clown? Are you saying you don't like the selection of LEDs for the backglass or you just don't like the backglass in General?

LEDs...Paragon artwork from top to bottom is one of the greatest ever hands down.
I'm sure it looks better in person, but the video just looks like huge chunks of color blocks. Changing the color of the text, whatever, doesn;t bother me that much. But then the dude is completely green, with red highlights above & below.
There are some hotspots too, but those usually look worse on pics/vid anyway. I just think it takes away form the artwork completely. But that's just my opinion and it's your machine so no worries. I think the playfield LEDs look great.
You are right. It looks a lot different and better in person. Looks odd in the video. The colors I choose accent the actual color of the art work.
Beautiful game! I bet it's a sweet player!

Quoted from s2k4ary:That looks really nice. I wish I could have my playfield restored. Does it play pretty fast?
Yes, much faster with the auto clear!
Quoted from lb45:Nice job.
Not a fan of LEDs installed on the Backglass , but the playfield looks great
It's seems folks are 50/50 on those that like LEDs for the backglass. I will continue to experiment with white and colored LEDs and post better pictures. The LEDs look much better in person, but my iphone pictures are not a good representation of how it really looks.
Not a fan of the backglass LED's either. I have found that warm white LED's in the backbox on mine work great.
My playfield is in really similar shape to what yours was before you restored it. I am getting ready to tackle the restore on mine. I hope it turns out as good as yours
Here's a detailed video of my cleaning and rebuilding one of the target banks. Now, target banks work flawlessly and are very responsive.

I pulled out and re-did my PM drop bank and had a lot of fun doing it. It's basically the only drops I had and I liked it was easier for me to understand, at the time, because it's completely mechanical and "made sense to me" when looking at them.
Good job man.
