F*CK ME SIDEWAYS, I UPDATED CREDIT DOT.
This installment is a review of the DIY Bally/Stern repro LED Lamp Driver board available from Pinball Electronics...and a discussion of the silliness that occurs when LEDs are added to a Bally/Stern game.
REVIEW: Pinball Electronics’ Bally/Stern...
I made a tracing of the backbox lamp panel when I had my Star Gazer apart for restoration if the potential buyer needs it.
Glws...interesting project!

If all else fails, you can go the repro route...BAA has them in stock. It's mirrored, and apparently looks pretty good in person.

You bring up a good point about STTNG. All franchises go through ebbs and flows. But given the news about Stern's new Star Wars machine, maybe it's taken a little shine off the Trekkie diamond.
I had quiet background sounds on my Catacomb at strange intervals during gameplay--depending on other in-game sounds being played the volume would come and go.
I popped in a new 5101 RAM chip on my MPU and it cleared up the issue completely. This is a well documented fix online--the RAM chip...
Took time yesterday to dive headfirst into the Stern Big Game project I brought back from Allentown. MPU is fuzzy and green, the PF had seen better days and the wiring is questionable at best (with a few cut connectors to boot). I'm prepping the playfield for clearcoat currently. After a good...
spiroagnew's Stern Star Gazer
I picked up a Star Gazer about a year ago...it was a project game, and imported from France. The game was early in the production run (4th game off the assembly line if the serial number tells the correct story), and wasn't a total lost cause, but it certainly...
Bumping this one up. Got a few sheets of glass from Dino. Looks great. Its an excellent resource to have in the community!

Drano's GTB Spin Out
I'm more than willing to work in trade for project games and/or parts. This, however, is the first of a series of games I'll be painting for Drano, as I've traded my cab services in partial trade for an actual working game (!).
The Spin Out came in as a bit of a...
spiroagnew's Gottlieb North Star
First one of the 2017 painting season! And it’s nice that it’s one of mine, and not for someone else! I finally tore down my Gottlieb North Star for a re-stenciled it after owning it for nearly two years. The cab was repainted by a previous owner, but it was...
We couldn't even organize a tailgate party between the members of this site...as much as we say we want to do a show/swapmeet, it hasn't happened. The Church of the Silver Ball had their thing last fall, which was nice, but was a far cry from a full blown "show" (potential there though).

Shay offers repro glasses for vintage games but I'm not sure he is able/willing to do one-offs. I could be wrong.
Shay and BGResto use different processes anyhow: silkscreen for the former and direct to glass printing for the latter. BGResto lends itself more to a custom one-off. Less setup.
Godzilla godzilla godzilla. Godzilla? Godzilla, godzilla godzilla. Godzilla godzilla godzilla--godzilla godzilla. Godzilla.
You may have to run that through Google Translate: English to Drano-ese.
