It's looking in great shape!
Have you had any issues with the ramps over this amount of plays? I do sometimes wonder at how thin the plastic seems on these ramps (I have a pro too) over time I was concerned they may not hold up, but it would appear they do! I was even concerned they could wear through over time......, but your pics are very reassuring.
I removed the RHS cliffy from my shooter Lane, I felt that when the ball popped out of the trough it would bounce around like crazy. So now just have my left hand shooter cliffy as that's the side that gets battered the most, no more crazy bouncing around.
I have cliffy's everywhere else on my machine. Awesome product!
Quoted from newpinbin:At how many plays?
about 1,000 plays for me. it was an easy switch to make - first time i've done it. Basically the left lower flipper was shedding gold metal into the cab, turns out the end stop bit had become loose, so i just replaced all of the end stops as I'd heard stern factory ones aren't hugely reliable
Quoted from PinMonk:I just took a couple pics of the process.
You basically bend the legs out on the bulb, precut a piece of electrical tape so it can cover both sides of the bulb base, then cut that to make it slightly less than 1/2 height. Then take that piece of electrical tape and fold it over both sides of the base from left to right (or right to left) with the sticky side towards the bulb (so the outside is smooth) and finish by bending the legs back down over the tape. Makes the base more thick and "grabby". Works great on 555-style LED bulbs and especially wedge flashers in spotlights.
DO you have non standard gi leds throughout your game? I bought some other clouded white leds and tried them but they were SO much dimmer... I see yours are clouded. Are they dimmer and do you prefer the look?
Has anyone else switched out the GI leds?
