goodolddays Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I have been quietly developing and now have completed the proto Snackbar Mod v4, which turned out nicely with the new magnetic lockdown feature and also with improved top lighting. The lighting, decal and outer look is 98% the same, EXCEPT there is now no lock in screw on the front anymore and the other photo shows the lighting feature "on" now lighting up the top nicely. The mod is held down with magnets and makes for an easy process to remove to service / clean etc. Big thanks to @J_M_ (for being my best customer as he has already bought every version of Snackbar - big Thank You) for the comment a while back as it spurred me on to develop this new concept. I also now finally have my website up and running which will have the new manual there soon in the RESOURCE section. https://swinks.com.au/ thanks for lookingmagnets are a great idea Sent from my SM-A520F using Aussie Arcade mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GORGAR 1 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Tried to put the trim on today but it’s real tight. I’m told heating up the trim will help them slide on but that worries me lol. The trim I have is off the original with a translite I’m wondering if trim is different for a “real” BG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trim I have is off the original with a translite I’m wondering if trim is different for a “real” BG?I am guessing they a different because the BG would be a few mm thicker than the translite .. given you have both probs worth measuring if you havent already.

GORGAR 1 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Ok decided to grab the heat gun out today and try and fit the trim :)After some terrifying moments pointing a heat gun at a near $500 glass I managed to get them on and man they are tight but on. Thoughts on Backglass: well it is darker but really suits the Creature theme and does look fantastic, I have Coloured LED’s behind so maybe with clear it would brighten up but I’m happy how it looks. It does have a couple of imperfections there seems to be a few spots of mirror paint in one corner I’d say that happened with they applied the mirror finish paint and it splattered a little but having said that I’m a perfectionist and I have learnt that in pinball nothings perfect so I’m at piece with them lol it’s not really worth worrying about to be honest. I tried to take a picture but I get window glare so I’ll take more pictures tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jodannar Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Video :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Looks great. Definitely darker than the translight. I’d like to see it with warm white behind most of it to see the difference Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boof Head Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 I’d like to see the difference too. I’ve just finished taking coloured leds out of my gofers backglass with a huge improvement. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GORGAR 1 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Thinking about it I might do a LED order with RTBB and go back to white LEDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GORGAR 1 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 After using the heat gun on my BG trim I got it out again and used it on my wrinkled side art edges and with a little care it’s come up so much better. I’m no expert but the wrinkles sort of melted against the wood and being black they look so much better. I added Jeff’s leg protectors and it looks tons better. All I really need now is cabinet art blades but I’m undecided what to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swinks Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Well after hunting through my spares I found a new power tap to get 5vdc for the RGB lighting from Kimball's Pinball (DK Custom Pinball brand) http://www.kimballspinballs.com/dk-pinball/ and got a chance to add the RGB lighting effect to the Neon in the Snackbar Mod v4 which as a concept looks awesome. The downside is I wanted to keep it simpler with just connecting to playfield lighting socket but no such luck as all GI and lights that stay on for a while are 5vac and all flashing lights are 6.3vdc unless I missed something. For the v4 mod I will have to work out a price for this lighting option and there is no reason why the guys with a Snackbar v2 & v3 could add this to their game as well - I will create a small manual soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
