    Quoted from Phetishboy:

    Any chance you'll be doing one of these speaker light kits for Congo? (or finishing the topper you previewed last year)?

    Congo got put on hold due to this project but I plan to get back to it soon. I know there is interest. I just don't want put too much on my plate.

    No prob. I am interested in a speaker light kit though, have you done many (or any) Williams titles?

    #353 11 years ago

    I want to order a LOTR kit, but it says it is backordered. So if I order the base kit now, I would have to order the LOTR plastics again later when they are in stock? And pay separate shipping?

    In other words would I be better off waiting until the LOTR plastics are in stock before ordering?

    #354 11 years ago

    Rob, I'll have more LOTR in stock tomorrow or Thursday at the latest.

    I also forgot to mention that there is actually 5 new pieces coming. Big Buck, Harley Davidson, Nascar, Rollercoaster Tycoon, and 24. I forgot to put 24 up. I'll put 24 on the site here soon. Also, the updated version of the Tron Disc.

    So every Stern except Wheel? Need a WoF!!

    Quoted from pinlawyer:

    So every Stern except Wheel? Need a WoF!!

    We have a WOF designed but not completed. There are several other Sterns missing still and we are working on them too. To name a few: Ripleys, Indy, CSI, and WOF as you mentioned.

    Quoted from planters49:

    Thanks, that's the info I'm looking for. I think I'll give the kit a go.

    I'd be interested on your take on the sonic quality before and after. That was the very first thing I thought of when I saw these awesome mods. I tend to upgrade the speakers on most of my pins as a throwback to my audiophile days. It has to affect it in some way.

    Quoted from SilverUnicorn:

    Is there a trick in getting the remote to respond? It soes not seem to want to do anything

    Take the translite off and aim the remote directly at the receiver for a test. Also, make sure the receiver has not fallen behind a speaker or the DMD. The receiver should be pointing at the translite, not down at the floor. Hope this helps.

    Here's another test you can do with a remote that isn't responding. Get a digital camera (even a cheap cell phone camera) and look at the remote eye through the screen. Then press a button on the remote while looking at the eye. You should be able to see it light up on the screen when the button is pressed. If it doesn't light up....it's probably the battery or the remote.

    I did have an issue where a new remote didn't seem to work. I then removed the battery and reinstalled it. The remote then started working fine. The battery was originally installed fine and everything and I don't know what taking the battery out and back in would have done....but that took care of the issue.

    +2. I drooled all over myself (amongst other fluids) when I saw that pic.

    Sound unaffected. Just installed these along with a new pinball pro full speaker kit. Sounds as sweet as it looks.

    DMD is much redder in real life. Looks AWESOME with the blue speakers.

    Is RBION the only Stern there are none for yet?

    RIPLEYS, RIPLEYS, RIPLEYS!!

    Ideas for the inserts - , rollerskating penguins, Bozo the mind reading dog, pictures of globes, shrunken heads? Just a couple ideas there is a ton that would relate to the game just not sure which one would look best.

    Much to my own disappointment the pieces didn't come in today. Friday evening they should be in. Sorry about that guys.

    The new Tron kit is up. I just grabbed one, along with a TSPP kit (Duff).

    Glad to hear! FYI, I already ran out of the Tron Mirror Disc's. Those went incredibly fast. I do have more coming in a few days though. I just underestimated the amount needed. My bad.

    Wow, that's great for you though,. I have to ask, could you hav e possibly imagined these would have taken off like they did?

    Just curious.
    Great stuff!

    Totally makes sense that these would be popular. I've always thought that the blank dmd panel and no screened art on the speaker grills was a huge aesthetic step backwards from Bally/WMS games. These definitely address that shortcoming and add bling where stern machines need it most.

    Oh, I agree completely. I was more curious if he was surprised just HOW popular they have been.

    I have to say, he went about it the right way. Minimal tech needed for install, easy, plug and play setup. Very well done!

    Got my kit installed on TRON LE tonight. Easy installation, took maybe 15 minutes and the blue color is a spot on match for the blue DMD from Xpin. Professionally constructed product, build quality of spacer/LED bracket was much more than I expected. I will say I am very happy with the purchase. IMG-20130206-00006.jpgIMG-20130206-00006.jpg

    #381 11 years ago

    awesome looking!

    #382 11 years ago
    Quoted from Phetishboy:

    So no?

    #383 11 years ago
    Quoted from Supadave:

    Already designed both and set to roll in due time.

    For now we are focusing on Stern models only. Williams is on the back burner.

    It was asked and answered on page 1.

    #384 11 years ago
    Quoted from Phetishboy:

    No prob. I am interested in a speaker light kit though, have you done many (or any) Williams titles?

    We are looking into some Williams but there is a problem at hand with most. The speaker panel is not even on many Williams titles. What I mean by that is if you take a look you will notice the hole on the left is larger than the hole on the right in the speaker panel. Along with the larger speaker on the left and the smaller on the right. We have experimented and the issue at hand is that you get a larger effect on the left and a smaller effect on the right giving you a lopsided look. There may not be an easy solution or any at all as no one will want lopsided looking speaker lights. Sorry Williams owners, you may be out of luck on the light portion. Acrylic designs can certainly still be created. I've been working on one as a test and I'll have some pics here soon.

    Lights look great Marc, really great! One suggestion though. Flip them over. You gottem upside down there chief.

    sad thing is i actually made a conscious decision to put them that way. i just matched the one in the translite. i'll get em flipped.

    Looks great. I keep thinking of getting a blue DMD for my X-Men LE (Wolvie Edition), but not until I decide if it's a keeper (or a semi-keeper) for me. It looks great on Tron.

    So anyone out there have a light kit installed in a Hulk LE that can snap some pics? I want to see some green speakers and DMD.

    #388 11 years ago

    I installed my Tron and TSPP speaker kits today. They look awesome.

    Quoted from GOLFIN365:

    Yup, out of stock temporarily. Had an incorrect shipment come in and I have to wait till after the Chinese New Years in order to get it straightened out. The plan was to order before the Chinese holiday which we did so we would have enough but when the parts came and were incorrect we then became pretty well screwed for a couple weeks.

    We are trying to get everything sorted as we are planning to attend the Ohio Show as well and have kits available there. As of now, it's sort of up in the air.

    Would be interested in getting a tron kit when they are ready to be ordered again

    #394 11 years ago

    I received my Tron and ACDC (Angus & Brian) acrylics today. Simply awesome........thanks for a wonderful and subtle addition to my games.

    #395 11 years ago

    I hope he gets the light kits back in soon, I only have one more to get [RCT] so all my sterns will then have them.

    #396 11 years ago

    I am patiently waiting as well

    #397 11 years ago

    When will the LED kit and AC/DC acrylics be available?

    #398 11 years ago
    Quoted from mmuglia:

    When will the LED kit and AC/DC acrylics be available?

    Parts are on order, just waiting for them to arrive. Chinese New Years put things on a delay. I ordered all the parts before the Chinese New Years, but when they arrived back on the 5th, they were wrong and they wouldn't ship replacements until the 18th. What a huge setback. I expect parts in very soon. Within a week.

    As for the ACDC acrylics I am getting a batch done up this weekend and will have them Wednesday.
