Hello! If you’ve seen the movie Bohemian Rapsody you probably noticed the Stern Galaxy pinball machine is clearly shown in one scene for quite a while. I’ve got a Galaxy machine, but the back glass attract mode is static, while in the movie lights behind the glass were flashing on and off all over the place. I know the one in the movie had LED lighting — as part of that transition is there a kit that makes the back glass lighting a lot more interesting/animated in attract mode? Thanks!

Ain’t seen the movie but... are you sure they didn’t just cram the back box sockets with old #455 flasher lamps?

Hard to say — can’t really tell if there’s method to the flashing madness...

Movie people manipulate decoration and props all the time. They might have source a game that was already pimped up. But, the set decor guy might as well have ordered someone to make once they saw how it appered.

BTW. There is a documentary of the legendary Queen gig at Wembley where a Medusa is seen in the backstage lounge. It is on the Tube.

Galaxy is supposed to have a relay to flash the GI - is that what you mean?

That’s a beautiful machine depicted in the movie! Very few people would ever notice but it really bothers me that the machine in the movie is completely LED’d with cool white LEDs. They could of at least installed warm white LEDs to make it appear more authentic for the time period depicted. Just nit-picking at the details.
