Still would love to see an upgraded RED laser.
Preferably with blackout mod!

I got an upgraded red laser from Cointaker for Christmas. Got everything hooked up relatively easy, but I must say I'm disappointed. It's maybe a teeny bit brighter. Anyone else disappointed with the upgraded laser?
Still baffled by what the alligator clips portion does. I hooked it up as instructed, but the white 2 pin connector doesn't seem to hook to anything. Not exactly sure what this does. Instructions were spartan.
Quoted from wiggy07:I did an install video on my site if you want to check it out. I think the 2 pin connector you are speaking about connects to the laser which connects to the power harness of the pinball machine with the alligator clips. I replaced the alligator clips and soldered the connectors directly to the board. I installed the green laser and saw a great improvement from the stock Laser to the Cointaker Laser. I am waiting for the blackout mod . When I receive that I will do a vid .

So you don't connect the white 2 pin connector of the new laser back into the old white 2 pin connector where you pulled out the old laser? Instead, you plug it into the white 2 pin connector that's attached to the red/black alligator clip wires?
Quoted from pinchamp:Perhaps you are missing the blackout mod? Got have that and the laser totally rocks after.
I have the blackout mod.
