Just picked up a SMB this past weekend. Overall the playfield is in pretty good shape, and has been full LED'd. The cabinet is in need of some work and artwork refresh. I have a couple LEDs which do not light up at all (Yoshi, Feather, 2 pop bumpers, and the 1M) so need to look into those. The DMD is a little off..tends to fade at the top of every image. Has anyone looked into or completed a pin2DMD for this machine yet? Just started looking into it and I'm a little confused, lol.

Loving it so far! The sounds are awesome, and it's a very fun game to play. Actually hit 777 last night and got the 200M

Getting ready to do a complete restore on mine (clear coat, new ramps, lamps, stickers, cabinet..etc etc..) Anyone ever remove all the mylar on the upper and lower playfields? Wondering what things to expect or surprises to avoid. Mainly worried about the insert graphics being affected during the removal process.

This club needs some action Recently installed a Pin2DMD and ready for some coloring fun!

Negative.
You can turn Extra ball % in Mystery to be very hard (10%) but that's about all you can change.

looks like you can get them from here as well. $25

Recently built my own flasher covers for my double SMB *seizure super mario bros* . Turned out pretty good! They really cut down on the in your face LED flashers. I kept clear flasher covers and color matched the LED flashers to them except the yellow as it has a white flasher

hehe, well these spawned from phillymadison's original covers which are not available any longer (at least in the marketplace). Not sure on the size of things used, but it was just some PVC pipe(used for lower section) combined with a coupler (used for pipe 'rim'), then cut it to length, notched out a section on the bottom for the flasher dome, and spray painted em.. Pretty straight fwd.

Here's some vid footage (select that 4K resolution ):

Hey wako

I added a couple 12vdc LED strips along the bottom sides of the cab, and then a small one ran up the middle of the back of the cab. The strips had a single connection point.
Wiring for the LED strip(s):
-Hooked the +12vdc into a stand alone power supply I added (for the Pin2DMD and LED strips)
-Then the individual color ground wires I hooked into the flasher bulb grounds.
>> Blue ground from the strip hooked into the flasher on the bottom left under the plastic
>> Green ground hooked into the flasher on the lower right ramp
>> Red ground hooked into flasher on the Yoshi ramp (pretty sure this is where I hooked it up anyway)
