Update: if any others would like an early adopter kit for their Data East Star Wars pinball, just message me, thanks.

----------------------------------------

Recently I wanted to add a nice effect to my Star Wars DE pinball. I made up plans and developed the following flipper mod that can be installed in the game with no soldering necessary.

I believe the same design should work for Stern Star Wars pinball machines as well and I am planning to do a test install.

I may plan to do a run of these and for other games like Ghostbusters. Please comment below if you may be interested in a set.

So far, the project has seemed to turn out just as I I had envisioned and the brightness is just right, matching with the other lights, pop bumpers and effects.

Game on!

Here’s a couple videos in action emphasizing the flippers.

Last night I played quite a few games testing these flippers out further and they seemed to work really well. When playing pinball, you’re constantly focusing on the flippers and interacting with them so it adds quite a feeling to the game.

If any others would be interested in an early adopter light saber-style flipper kit for their Data East Star Wars, just message me, thanks
