So,untill I'm ill for about 2 months I decide to make some additional mods to my favourite pinball High Speed.The idea is:

I will make little police car light bars and will put it on the gates-1,2,3

http://i891.photobucket.com/albums/ac119/arakissun/image-20.jpg

On gate 1 the lights will work together with the blue flash lamps on left side of radar detector.So when the blue lapms blinks,the lights on gate 1 will blink too
On gate 2 the lights will work together with the blue flash lamps on rights side of the radar detector.So when the blue lapms blinks,the lights on gate 2 will blink too
On gate 3 the lights will work constantly like the movie down below



I make some pasteboard models from cigaret box(the final version will be from transparent plexiglass with colour blue and red sticker on it).Make barrier(empty space in the center) between the lights from pasteboard too to not mix the colours

Buy ready circuitry that make two leds blinks one after one.The original was with two round 5mm LEDs,as you can see I replaced them with two red and two blue little SMD LEDs.
I make base and wired them.

Love the mod!

I could see my HS with those if they could be made for a reasonable price. I like the placement also.

That's pretty sweet actually!

Price should be pretty reasonable on something like that for sure
 
So after I hаd difficlulty to find company to make the models from plexiglass I begin to search plastic toy with police light bar.For my lucky after 3 days of searching I find it:)

The plastic is perfect.Good design and plastic colours

So I begin to modify it.

The model

I make two holes of the gate to make the model stand on it

Disassemble the model.The good is that every peace can me removed withoth demaging(In most case the parts are agglutinate).After that I begin to think how to place the SMD LEDs.It took me a little time,one model has go to the trash after several tryes:).But the decision has been found

I cut some places of the colour parts and main body(silver part)
Up parts are before(original),down are after

Up is after,down is before(original)

So now I can place the LED's in the little holes:)

I think now to make some custom gates with little modification .Of course if someone like the mod I think I can make and new gates like original but with holes(to not spoil the original) on in(on first pictures),or the custom that I think to make.

Today I thinking of the assemble/disassemble the model.The idea was to be easy as much can be.

So I make a base for the LEDs+resistor.So if something happen with the LEDs to be changed very easy,to not disassemble whole model part by part.Just develop two nuts(pictures below),take off the body and work on the base:

At the bottom of the model:

Mountaed(used 2x2mm diameter nut,but I think to use these with silicon inside with little modification):

Now I must connect it to the machine and taste the stability of the model
 
Yes,I think the prices are:

Must be total 3pc for the three gates
2pc for the radar detector is about 20$(10$ per pc)
1pc for the gate where is located the Extra Ball hole is about 11.5$(because have a schematic that control the LEDs to blink one after other)
It will have and instructions

So total for everything will be 31.5$
Also I will add some additional LEDs,nuts,resisitors and bases for free

If someone want custom gate-that have holes on it,I must have made some and think about the price
 
How much to ship to Florida . I'm interested just need a idea of total cost. Can't wait to see it in action. Almost finished with my HS project and I think these will look great!
 
There have several options for delivery.Every delivery have a tracking number

Internetional delivery(outside Europe),like letter(I will try this option because the full set will be very light)
-Priority delivery-8$
-Not priority delivery -6$

International delivery(outside Europe),like parcel.
-land delivery-25$
-air delivery-26$
 
OK.I will try.I think there will not be a problem to give it for 40$(including shipping).I must go(or send someone friend) to ask the postman if it will be possible to be send as littler.Of course that not means that will be pack in letter size:).It will be packed very well in box and bubbles
