Quoted from gambit3113:

I want to look at making a Moe's sign mod now, since I guess they are no longer being made by anyone. Can someone tell me what the actual sign part looked like it was made out of? It did not use the original plastic, correct? Was it thin? I just need to have it scanned and printed on something that I can leave translucent on the back, I suppose. The EL paper is the easy part.

Quoted from MK6PIN:

Don't do it......just bought a " working" Moes lit sign about a couple weeks ago for way too much money. Installed, and power supply died shortly after. There's a link somewhere another Pinsider shared that deals w the EL stuff....trouble is, even the company states that the half life of the EL is only 300 hours!!! I used their power supply ( 4.5 volts) sign lasted one day. Thinking about just doing an LED behind the original sign....looks pretty cool.....mark

Quoted from arcadenerd925:

PDI glass for my TSPP arrives today, weeeeeee. I will be sure to take some good b4 and after pics.

Quoted from arcadenerd925:

what difference do you notice? more "bounce"? i was considering them.

Quoted from arcadenerd925:

I was thinking of doing something similar, just "backlighting" a moe's sign instead with some sort of LED contained in a small box behind the sign or something.

Quoted from pinchamp:

Had to post these Simpsons cabinet decals here. Maybe most of you already know about them but they are so awesome I had to give SiilyOldElf another plug.

Quoted from pinballwiz:

Anybody put mirror blades on their TSPP? I am thinking about that or the decals if I can get a set.

Quoted from arcadenerd925:

Let me know when you do, i'm in. we can start a separate thread. My idea is to make a small "back box" (possibly sheet metal and then just paint it), it will have threaded or maybe a channel to slide in a front clear plexi piece. Print out moe's sign on some sort of substrate that will have it glow with light behind it. wire in some sort of LED behind it and then find another light wire to hijack power from perhaps.
that's my initial thought at least. *shrug*

Quoted from arcadenerd925:

ok, in went the PDI glass last night on my TSPP.
(disclaimer, used my crappy cell phone camera)
Before (standard glass):

After (PDI glass):

Compare the color of my overhead light on my WOZ with invisiglass:

Same close up view on TSPP with PDI:

Not going to start a re-hash of the invisiglass VS PDI debate. I think they both look great. I do feel that the PDI glass suits the "color" of TSPP better. I mainly went with PDI since i already had invisiglass on WOZ and wanted to try "the other guy". I'm happy I did and like others have said, the camera cannot do it justice. I know its pricey but well worth it IMHO. Tho its easier for me to have optically coated glass as I only have two games.

Quoted from arcadenerd925:

Even better, then i dont have to print anything. My lofty idea on flicker was to add a switch to the back of the housing so when the ball goes through it flashes the sign. but that would require some sort of flasher circuit, but im not opposed to that either. depends on how much time I dont have that I want to put into this, haha.

Quoted from cheesewhisperer:

Here's a topper with twin spotlights. Spotlights flash along with all the others.

I'm getting PM's asking about pricing. Sorry, I thought I provided it in this thread, but it was in the other thread I linked:
$129 + shipping (Priority in US is $5.61).
Send me a PM if you're interested, and I can give you my Paypal info.

Quoted from xbloodgreenx:

I finally got around to putting the inner-cabinet side decals on this last weekend. A sliced thumb and an hour of aggravation later, they look fantastic. Never installing side decals ever again.

Quoted from arcadenerd925:

Still on the fence on the TV mod, any videos floating around of it in action?

Quoted from Sparky:

That would be great! I only have the one video I posted here, but it's not in the game, and it's an early version that is painted differently.

Quoted from castlesteve:

love this! If I keep my game, I'm getting this for sure

Quoted from dendoc:

Getting the upper play field off is easy - just 3 large black nobs to unscrew and lift clear of the flippers. The TV is easy to remove as well to get to the switch behind. Just may need a little bend to make it more prominent to register. Rarely does it need resoldering. I've had one switch give up - at the base of the upper play field VUK. This is easy to access from under the whole play field - so just unscrew and solder in a new one.

Quoted from DocRotCod:

It's great, but the stress is a bitch. Especially when the compliancy auditor walks in your front door like they did last week. Oh well we did fine.

Quoted from NightTrain:

Joined the club for a 2nd time today. Picked up a HUO with a Color DMD and a ton of other mods (LEDs, Sparky MDM, etc). I'm going to actually read the rule sheet this time and try to understand why there is so much love for this game. Looking forward to digging into this one!

Quoted from NightTrain:

Yeah I need to order an LED OCD for sure!

Quoted from phillymadison:

Could you just put in non ghosting LEDs and cut out the need for the OCD board?

Quoted from TimeBandit:

Most of the time out of the box is fine. I've only ever adjusted the settings for ST.

Quoted from ASOA:

Back in the club. Working on this beauty. Will post pics when completed.
Bought a stock home use only 2 weeks ago and she is going through some changes.
