So as a few of you may know i am big into all things Indiana Jones Stern Indy now has new rules and game play in which i am making use of these LED flasher boards. Unfortunately they seem rather prone to failing and i've fixed my own set of 4 more than once!

After a couple of prods from people I decided to increase the project list by 1 more item and create my own redesign for these boards using newly sourced parts, bigger better LEDs and less SMD stuff where at all possible! I am a plate through fan, as per all my other board redesigns.

Here's a quick video of my first prototype. I had some extra pulse duration control in there to, but this probably won't be included on the final pcbs, it was just for testing purposes really.

Not sure of pricing for these yet, but should be around the £25 mark. I have a pcb design layout on the computer to so will upload some pics of this once completed. The size will be the same footprint as the originals and will be plug and play.

These could be useful for other game mods to as the boards take a standard 20v input and ground signal activation, so can easily be used as alternative to standard flasher drives on lots of games.

Couple of pics of the board layout design. Will be testing the design in my game this week, then getting some pcbs made to try out. Need to double check the pcb mount holes and overall size to so that is 100% compatible with the originals

Assembled and tested boards will be £30 each plus postage. (That's roughly $40 at the moment which is less than half the cost of a NOS original) Will be adding the product to my webstore here http://mypinballs.co.uk/electronics/store.jsp but please feel free to contact me directly to
