I have Pinscores in my F2K. The match/ball display doesn't line up well with the backglass window. When the game is off, the displays show a lot off white area in the background and the digit segments are very noticeable. I'm trying to find a better alternative.
I have an x-pin display on my FH. Came with tinted filters that I applied to the score windows. https://xpinpinball.com/product/xpin-vinyl-7/
Looks pretty much stock to me now. Pinscore is very similar to x-pin so if you can get the filters, it would be worth a try (not sure what color to choose for your game though).
My display was also adjustable (elongated screw holes on the display) to allow for individual differences in screw placement between machines. Just takes a couple of adjustments to get it spot on.

There's no adjustment on mine. I will look for the filters. I'm using the standard amber color.

If you have some good drill bits, you could fashion it up yourself I guess?
I could move the display brackets up or down by drilling new holes but the problem is the side to side alignment of the 6 digit match/score display. I'll post a pic later...
I have the Rottendog display on my Black Knight and it doesn't line up with the backglass. If xpins positions are adjustable then I would consider buying an xpin set and selling my Rottendog ones. Any input is appreciated.

You don't move the displays, you adjust the light board. I have the rottendogs on my Williams and they line up perfect after you tweak the board by moving the washers and adjusting the tilt with the elongated screw holes on the board.

Thanks Travish! Recently installed the Rottendog displays and since they provide no instruction or guidance I knew there had to be some way. So apparently I have to widdle the crap out of my display door to make them work...... Note to self, while the Xpin cost a bit more the features and fit are Worth the extra few bucks. Time to get my dremel and sawzall out to align these Rotten displays. Umph.
Speaking of instruction, any chance you could explain Where those diplay stickers Rottendog provides go?? Please don't say they are stuck to the new backglass........ I already cringed buying this new BK art piece. Thanks for any advise.

The stickers go right on top of the displays

Thanks Travish, that is hugely helpful. I am just finishing up my playfield swap and am now going to the cabinet portion of the project. I considered drilling new holes, getting new boards, adjusting the door is a much better option.

Agreed, lesson learned

Sounds like we did the same thing. I have a cpr playfield, rottendog displays and boards and Mayfair backglass. One of my "every screw" projects.

Yep, sounds that way. I added a few custom decals. My drop targets are the Knight's face close up from my original back glass. I just got done doing a dual sword decal on my shooter plate. The top right ball gate got a black & yellow bird like the green bird in the upper playfield. The coin entry plastics are now a knight in the middle and yellow razorbacks on each side. Fun stuff.
