With new ST Premiums on the horizon, could any of you that got a great deal on yours PM me from where you got it and for how much. I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on a NIB as soon as they hit again.

Who sells playfield back panel art for STNG? Are these all after market or did the machine come with something there originally?

When I played a friends AC/DC Luci, the Pinbits lightning bolt flashers mod really left an impression on me. I really wanted a similar *shocking* flash effect on my ST Premium. I've come up with something similar, and made a few extras if anyone wants one: see my ad for more details and time-lapse pics.

Ah, I thought more people were familiar with the AC/DC flashing/exploding lightning bolts. I updated the ad to hopefully make it clear the flash is facing the player and coming from that explosion plastic, just as pictured. The time lapse pics are in order, on a hit, it comes on instantly very bright and fades out. I guess capturing video would be helpful.

Here's a video clip to get a better idea:

Your pictures don't add up, the under playfield you highlight is not the same spot as the LED you point out on top.

For what it's worth, I have a 2016 run premium and have the LED you point to on top.

Premium-envy setting in so quickly? LOL...

Let me point you to the FAQ on that one...

Shouldn't make any difference: it doesn't sound like there's any graphical changes.
