One of my fave pins! Thanks for posting.

You really need to take the glass off to take a proper gameplay video, you can't see squat with all that glass glare.

I like using some LED's but this video shows one of the reasons I dislike them, they make the attract mode seem like it's in super fast hyper mode, ruins the effect IMO

I'd love to add this pin to my collection someday, it's the first pin that got me hooked on pinball when I was a teenager...
 
Yeah, I was just effing about. I'll take the glass off and use a tripod.

Well, re: LEDs that's why they make chocolate and vanilla - something for everyone.

I love the LEDs - the color purity blows me away. Incandescents just look yellow and muddy to me, but it's very much a matter of personal taste.

Don't like 'em? Don't use 'em.

Love 'em? Go nuts.

Is the machine for sale ?

Price ?

No, not for sale, sorry. Just wanted to share how it came out.

If I were to sell (no time soon I assure you), I'd be asking around $2200-2400.

It has a lot of hours and parts into it.

It's the nicest TFTC I have personally ever seen.
