Nice. Only issue is that one loose end, and the fact that EL wire burns out over time, but the bonus is it's WAY easier to replace than Stern's fiber optics, way CHEAPER, and easy as heck to get ahold of.
 
That is a great mod. Questions : How did the el wire attach to the ramps and what is the power source? Do you flip the main switch on the pinball machine and it turns on? Thanks
 
I had to look up EL wire: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroluminescent_wire[/url]
Are you putting 120 VAC into it? Looks great. Someone posted it will burn out, how long is average?
 
EL Wire is attached with glue gun.I use separate power source-250W PC PSU,and use it's 12V line.
About the life-it's about 3000h,because is 2.3mm diameter.This type of wire have and 5mm diameter but it's life is about 500-800h
