All new lamp sockets and LEDs

Replaced all the Lamp sockets in the playfield.  Big job but had to be done.  Put LEDs in all new sockets.  Game looks awesome but having a strobing problem.  In contact with Comet Pinball and should find a solution soon.  Here is a video that shows the strobing.

New LEDs and Lamp sockets




Received all new LED's and lamp sockets for Christmas.  Not going too crazy with the LED's.  Received two types from Comet Pinball, twin 2835 SMD 6.3V AC/DC INTENSE BRIGHTNESS - Frosted - #44/#47 Bayonet - Sunlight White for GI lighting and 1 SMD 6.3V AC/DC SUPREME BRIGHTNESS NON-GHOSTING 5050 BULB - Frosted - #44/#47 Bayonet - Warm White for feature lighting.  Replaced 10 sockets today and the LED's look awesome.  The new sockets from Pinball Resource work great.  When I am done with all the sockets, I will post a video of the game working 100%.

Update: Mechanics and Lamps

Worked on the mechanics and lamps.  Got all the mechanics working.  All the flippers and out-holes work great now.  Adjusted all the switches, fixing the switches with bad caps and diodes.  Worked a lot on the lamps.  Got about 80% of the lamps working but the sockets are just junk.  Ordered all new lamp sockets, over 100 of them.  Also ordered LED's, going to switch them all over, should make the game look great.
