The “HumBucker" HB-001 from White North Retro is the simplest way to help mitigate the annoying and constant 12v hum thats emitted over the speakers on most Data East pinball machines. It doesn’t require any soldering or conversion to your games, just simply plug it in-line with the soundboard power cable and go. The device works on all Data East games as well as the first three SEGA games: Baywatch, Batman Forever, and Frankenstein. Developed and made in Alberta, Canada. The HB-001 is a must have for any Data East pinball machine.

They are for sale in the US on Marco Specialties for $39.99usd

Yes! Which is crazy. ☺️ More are on the way, we’re just talking to suppliers and waiting to see what volume we need to make.

Unfortunately we don’t have a timeframe yet.

Nope, still looking for chips for a big run next. We’ve had some talks to an Australian vendor but nothing set in stone.

Nothing yet, were still waiting on chips.

More parts for our WNR board are in stock and have been ordered! We’ll update soon with availability, as well as how you can win a free one!

Parts have all arrived!! Sorry for the holdup the Caps we needed were insanely difficult to source this time. We’ll put them into production this week and let everyone know as soon as they are available to order!

This latest order was bought completely by Pinball Life. As soon as we ship them out to PL we’ll post on our Instagram/Facebook. Keep an eye out.

Yep.

Getting ready to ship the next batch out to PinballLife! Should arrive in a few days so keep an eye out.

Also, we’ve removed the key pin from the top connector in this batch so you won’t need to take the key plug out of the power cable. Couldn’t find a reliable source for the tiny plastic plugs for the lower connector, so as always please check your work when installing.

Ok, that was nuts. This order was bigger than the first, however this one sold out in under 12 hours compared to the 36hours the first time.

More are on the way. A lot more. And more vendors too so you international folk will be able to save a bit on shipping from your local pinball shops.

You guys are insane. Haha. Thank you. More to come. ☺️

Hey! None yet, but we have been talking to a number of vendors globally. The next round will be about 5 times what we’ve produced so far and we’ll be changing the colour of the PCB.

BttF is a Data East pin. So, yes. Yes it does.

Limited Edition? Whaaaa?

Ok, so we made 10 of these as a pathway towards our next big run. Figured we’d number them and offer them as direct sale. Do they do anything different then the other ones? No. Are they any better than the green ones? Not really unless you like matte black. Are they really anything different? We’ll, kinda, the pcb is a couple millimetres larger, and the logo is bigger if that matters? We also ditched the silkscreen on the top to give it a “stealth” look, cause matte black/white/silver is cool. Do you need this if you already have one on your game? No, not at all, they work just as good as the green ones, and even the yellow prototype I use in my R&B&F. Oh, I also added little gold numbers (out of 10) to each with a paint pen, just to be a bit extra.

We’re going to be offering these first come first serve, limit 2 per person, Price will be $39.95 USD per filter, plus exact shipping. Payment will be thru PayPal. If you want a couple, message me direct with: your Full Name, Address, PHONE NUMBER (for customs), email, and if you want one or two boards. Over the weekend I’ll get exact shipping quotes and get back to you with your total and the PayPal address to send the payment to. Oh and we’ll ship world wide, (Except to Russia for obvious reasons…).

When these LTD ones are gone, they’re gone. But don’t worry, very soon we’ll have so many of the new regulars we’ll be using the extras to prop up the back feet of our games.

UPDATE! These are all spoken for! More are on the way soon, and we'll post in the group/Pinside/Our social media/etc as soon as they are available. Thanks folks.

*** THESE ARE NOW SOLD OUT!!!***

Big news in the coming weeks...
New boards, New vendors, New Availability.

...Tell your friends.

The good news our latest production run has cleared thru Canada Customs and should be arriving to my doorstep this week.

The bad news is they all missing the bottom molex connector as there is a global shortage of the part. We're working with a number of suppliers to get them as soon as possible and we'll solder them all on ourselves. in the mean time we'll inspect them all and test them as best we can.

Ok, good news and bad news…

We know quite a few of you have been waiting very patiently for our next run of boards to arrive. And the good news is that they are here. Fresh in from the factory. HUNDREDS of them.

Now the bad news, you can’t buy them yet and the wait time is going to be a bit longer. Unfortunately there is a global shortage (as in ZERO stock) across over a dozen parts suppliers for the molex connectors on the bottom of the board. We have some that could arrive as soon as early September. As soon as they do we’ll install them, test the boards, package them, and ship them off to our vendors.

Speaking of which, we’ve added Marco’s to the vendor list. We’re still looking for a vendor in Europe and we’ll hopefully have a couple in Australia finalized by the time the connectors land.

Parts shortages suck. Thank you for your patience.

Oh! Also, here’s a look at our new Version 1.1 of the board. Stealth black on the top, slightly smaller footprint, same great functionality.

Keep an eye out here or on our Facebook/Instagram pages for availability. When these are ready we’ll be launching them globally on the same day across all vendors. Shouldn’t be too long now.
