Congrats Chris...its a great game and everyone who comes over loves it. And when tricked out with frosted and colored LED's it really sets a tone for the rest of the collection to match. When I got mine it was in great shape but the clear "floor" of the upper playfield was pretty cloudy. A good cleanup with dish soap and a quick flame polish made the whole game look like brand new. I then added a stronger coil from Pinballife (made for LOTR) to the right flipper to increase the kick up the ramp to the heartbreak hotel and the game really rocks now. I can only imagine how good it would be with some type of speaker mod.

Quoted from Kurisu:

Thank you and no problem whatsoever! Yours is beautiful and I completely understand wanting to hang on to it.

I would love to see some photos if you have the time to take and post them. I am strongly considering adding LEDs to the one I purchased (which is stock with the incandescent lights). I am not sure if one of Cointaker's complete kits is the way to go or if I should add them piecemeal.
Incidentally, this is the machine that really got me interested in owning an Elvis, found at a little ice cream shop in Pacific Grove, CA:

I can get a photo up later today. I'd recommend against the "kits". Just buy what you want. I know the biggest difference in mine came from using the pink frosted LEDs in the GI of the lower part of the playfield, and red frosted nearer the top as well as Cointakers premium (no ghost) under every insert. The white rubbers made it look much better too.

And the last one. Sorry I had to do them separate, thats the way my pics got filed. You can see the slight tint of the pink frosted domed CT LEDs. At the top are some of the same in red under the plastics, and the CT premiums under all the inserts.

To try to keep the incandescent look under the clear inserts I use the CT warm retros. They are darn near a match to the incandescent color.
