I just picked up a Premium. The playfield is surprisingly dark!

What’s the recommended fix? Spotlights or pinstadiums? I’d like to maintain the Premium GI ambience for certain game modes (if possible).

I'm also seeing a lot of talk about the Gnassel BG Light Mod. Can anyone share a link for purchase?

Quoted from Fezmid:

I kind of assumed it was supposed to be dark to fit the theme.

Most of the Premium LED inserts are on PCBs.

I legitimately can't see the ball in some scenarios. Adding the gameplay speed to the mix makes it tough. I play in a dark room, and even the tranlite glare on the glass becomes overwhelming. Previous owner painted the florescent tube black to help, but the glare is still significant.

In attract mode, the lighting looks fine, but after starting a game most of the GI dims making it difficult for me to see.

I found a couple spotlights left over from a previous project that I will try out.

On the Premium, it looks like all the GI goes dim during the majority of gameplay. I assume they're all on the same circuit. Is there a solid 6.3V that I can tap into under the playfield?

#10498 2 years ago

So, here's another idea regarding the dark GI. Has anyone tried to replace the GI on the Premium with generally brighter LEDs?

My problem isn't when the GI is fully on, it's when it's dimmed. I just can't see. If the LED is naturally brighter, I'm thinking the low brightness setting should be brighter too?

Quoted from PtownPin:

He actually responded to my first request, and stated he was gonna order parts and make a few more (that was months ago). He hasn't responded to my other requests so I assume its not gonna happen...

I also reached out with no response.

Does anyone have info on the actual LED he used? I'm kind of handy with circuits and can maybe put it together.

I resolved my lighting issue. I ended up replacing all the cool white GI with warm white Comet 4+1 LEDs. They have the same vertical brightness, and the side LEDs do a good job of lighting sideways. I also added spotlights on the slings and behind the well walker. The spotlights are painted matte black to help them blend in. They still dim with the GI, so it all works really well.

Any tips for getting the Well Walker to properly register?

I've tried adjusting the switch below the mech. It works better for a few games, then eventually doesn't work well. I'm missing about 50% of my hits now. No phantom hits.

Does a certain adjustment method work? Different switch?

Anyone do DIY speaker upgrades on their TWD or other Stern SAM systems?

I'm going to do a small order on parts-express and would like to maybe get some backbox speakers for my TWD Premium. Does anyone know the specs of a good factory replacement? 4" 4-ohm?
