What colour is the neon in your CV?
Have you replaced yours with a better colour than the factory standard?
Please post a pic of the neon in your machine.

Mine came with red but I changed it to blue...to me, blue looks like the electricity artwork all over the game. I do like how the red tube is invisible when unlit.
I think purple looks really good...if I changed again, I'd go that route. I don't like the multi-colored ones...looks like a pack of Lifesavers.

I need to buy a new one, it burned out. I think I'll go purple. I agree with Rarehero, the multi-colored ones look funny
Where is the best place to get a replacement neon bulb. Looking at all these pictures has got me into fixing mine now.......
Someone in another thread said Bay Area Amusements no longer ships because of too many broken shipments. Pinballlife doesn't carry them......? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Yup. When I replaced it, I wired it backwards. No worries if you do that, it doesn't blow up! Just switch the wires and it's all good.

Yikes, thank god. what is it, 15000v? I know it's stepped up for a very small amperage, but man, I would have been really worried about hooking that up backwards!

Sometimes I'm stupid when I do repairs...but thankfully my stupidity hasn't blown anything up.

I have had some solenoid shocks, but due to issues out of my control. I've done a few dumb things too, but can't think of anything big I've screwed up...
....well there was the time a TAF went down my stairs like a freight train, flipped, smashed to shit, and almost killed someone, but that wasn't a repair, so I guess that doesn't count right?

Freaking hilarious! Please tell me you have the video posted on YouTube.

I happen to like my multi-color neon and Lifesavers.....coincidence???

Sadly, I don't record all removals from my recroom. Something to talk about now, but in the days after, I was quite uneasy about the fact that my system could have failed with a fridge cart, despite having a crack strap across the middle.
I now use the strap attached to the cart, another crank strap on the bottom, and another on the top. If it had to happen, I'm almost glad it did as it did, with no one getting hurt.

Any tips for getting the rivets out without destroying that ramp?
Mine is green, but I picked up a Red one that I'd like to install one day.

Don't drill out the rivet for more than a couple of seconds at a time and pause in between attempts to give the rivet time to cool down.
Otherwise it will melt right through the plastic.
