Gav Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Are full LED kits available in Aus? Would like to get some for at least one pinball but O/S freight costs seem pretty steep. Ta Gav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyj Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Greg (RTBB) has pretty much all the ones you need (for inserts/playfields) but you will need to work out exact numbers / type..... I've done it for two machines myself from there and turned out great... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Arcade King Posted March 16, 2009 Administrators Share Posted March 16, 2009 same but i think hes chasing prefabed stuff. Greg is the only one who sells pinball LED's in aus i know of. I personally make my own and I don't use them in the GI either. LED's were never meant for AC voltage unless they are fully bridged. What happens if you have a game like FH or STTNG that uses a dimming effect the LED's won't really dim but start flickering and even blinking.

Martyj Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Was it expensive to do a full pin, buying individual leds? It depends on what machine. I did my T2 - All inserts with matching colours and all playfield flashers as well. The result was really really good. I would not do them for G.I as the std globes do a better job. I also did the inserts in my LAH. Really worth while. I had a D.E Simpsons, would not do any on it as it didn't suit the game. My Getaway - considering at this stage. For the T2, was a little dear because of the #89 flashers but really bright! From memory it was about $250 or thereabouts for the inserts plus some spares. The prices have gone up a bit since the dollar crashed. I would recommend buying a handful of colours from Greg and putting them in and see if you like it....Some people only do the backglass/translite......

Gav Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 Thanks Guys, yes looking for plug n play stuff. I've tried a few from Greg and really like the look of them. Just wanted to go the lazy route and get a full set:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GORGAR 1 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Did my WH20 with LED's from Greg and yes when they dim they flicker but the overall affect is great I think-just plug them in and off you go, I've done mine with change out of $50 but having said that I only replaced a certain section..There where 2 that where in un-covered areas and they look to bright while playing so for those 2 globes I put coloured comdons on:lol and they look great.
