I hope you understand what you're getting yourself into with a comment like that 
Quoted from TaylorVA:My vote, LEDs.
My vote, besides the general over cluttering of crap inside the games are the powder coating of legs and rails all kinds of colors. Most of the time it takes a color that matches and just over does it. Sometimes the colors don't match at all. Either way, it makes great looking games look cheap and cheesy.
I dunno, I think the pinball sign looks good.
Quoted from TheKorn:I submit for your group disapproval two of the best, and yet admittedly most ridiculous mods I've done to my machines together in one shot.
I have no idea why people take a negative opinion toward LEDs as a personal attack. I also think that in a lot of games LEDs suck. I did LED my Congo and Family Guy but inserts only. I think LEDs in the GI looks like crap 98 times out of 100.
Don't get me started on people use colored LEDs in the GI to completely change the look of the game. Purple GI, blue GI etc I just shake my head. As long as people don't actually believe LEDs add value to a game, it's an easy enough fix.
Quoted from TaylorVA:My "opinion" rant wasn't directed at you just those that take others opinions personally.
I may have played games with the strobing and that was the issue but it seems by people's description that it was something else. I frankly try to avoid them as I tend to get a headache from them.
I am sure there are LEDs that simulate incandescents but then I get back to my point of them being a waste of money. As far as making colorful effects, not my thing.
I've owned 2 TZs. One with just about every mod I've ever heard of, another with none. The TZ with no mods played far better. Most of the mods, besides looking like cheap crap, get in the way of seeing the ball. I had the clock out of the game to fix it, played a few games without the clock and it greatly improved my enjoyment of the game. The clock is useless and without it installed I could see the ball go around the loops and it helped me time the upper flipper shots easier. The game felt like it had more flow.
The two TZ mods that aren't bad are the gumballs and the piano mod. The piano shot looks so drab without the piano around it.
Quoted from wbradley:In the case of TZ, I am in agreeance with many that dislike all the extra toys people install that just clutter the playfield. All my mods were below the surface so to speak, like the gumballs with gumball machine lighting, proto flashers for the gum and ball inserts, etc.
However, I did cave and buy the slot machine that sits on top of the habittrail over the slot kickout. I was just impressed with the fact that the reels turn when the ball passes through. Also the slot and piano locations are vital to completeing the door to play LITZ. I am now considering adding in the piano but it is pricey for a cut/drilled old McDonald's toy.
You can make a case for that mod, but the switches never bothered me any.
Quoted from absocountry2:What about the small switches on the mini PF? I think those are one of the best.
