Personally, I think the LED's look great on this table. Your touchup works looks good too! Nice work!

@MrJest2 2 года назад

Agreed, this game in particular kind of calls out for it. Incandescents kind of just... fade... over time, and even new ones never look quite as bright as our memories. 😋 This upgrade should keep it looking crisp and more "new" for years to come, that's for sure.

@jk9554 2 года назад

I'd probably have gone for warm white (or even yellow/amber?) LEDs on the hair. The cold white looks a bit over the top, I think.

@simondempsey1 2 года назад

Those LED's are bright, and look good, however i'm with you Ron, they suit the more newer models!

@Jordan__Sloan 2 года назад

It’s gotta be the right game for leds for sure

@TampaTec 2 года назад

👍 awesome Bride makeover. I got the Bride of Pinbot too, I added some tech mods to add more excitement. Pinsound Shaker motor triggers at rocket ramp shots, wheel spins and head turns. I installed pinsound soundtrack "you spin my head right round" my son's suggestion 😂

@LuvADuc 2 года назад

Thanks for the light show Ron! Those LEDs do fit the theme of Bride of Pinbot.

@ExpressoMechanicTV Год назад

The LEDs really make the inserts pop and the final touchup job looks great!

@vincediesil 2 года назад

The new LEDs really make that thing POP. It looks so good now. The light show this thing puts on is very cool. I bet it would've stood out amongst its peers in the arcade.

@MrJest2 2 года назад

It did indeed. Yeah, I'm old. 😝

@gorillaau 2 года назад

@@MrJest2 The head mechanism is an amazing amount of work with wonderful production engineering.. Did it get reused on another table?

@KevinFields777 2 года назад

The LEDs look a million times better! The bright, cool white LEDs make the playfield look like what you'd imagine a Star Trek space dock would look like if it were all lit up.

@mcostafernando 2 года назад

Man, The Machine looks great with LEDs! Even the texts on the inserts look better with those color LEDs. This one brings me good memories, played it a lot in the late 90's... Fantastic game!

@patrickradcliffe3837 2 года назад

Amazing the LED conversion on this particular game is very cool upgrade, that makes it even more modern the customer should be estatic on the Restoration.

@VegasCyclingFreak 2 года назад

This a super cool pinball machine. The LEDs I think work really nice with it.

@shu943 2 года назад

Thanks Joe…I’m new to the pinball world and just bought my first pin,need approx 2 months in order to arrive.Meanwhile I became addicted to your vids,all the walkthrough reparations and painting touch ups,all the mechanical issues you solve and explain are a big big help for someone like me,yet so entertaining.Good luck with your channel 😉

@CalebTibster 2 года назад

Oh my goodness the LEDs look absolutely stunning!

@pezjohnson 2 года назад

This game came out amazing. It's awesome how the pinball community has a way to suggest lighting and ring kits. I don't think I would have even thought of putting gray rings on. But it really does go well with the rest of the game. The lights look great too. Of course your repairs and touchup work is outstanding. Thanks for making the series of videos. This one came out great!

@johnmadden5933 2 года назад

Oh man those color-matched leds on the play field are night and day compared to the tired old bulbs. Excellent work!

@Crowfighting 2 года назад

Thanks for this - I’ve really enjoyed watching this restoration. I own a Bride of Pinbot table myself, so I’ve been through much the same about 15 years ago when I got it - playfield touch-ups, a few mechanical fixes. This year it needed some electronic fixes to the sound board and display driver. Glad to see another example getting the care it needed!

@brad9529 2 года назад

Lighting effects and music are really cool for such an old machine.

@josugambee3701 2 года назад

I love how, at 3:10, when you said you would do all the LEDs as warm white, your camera decided to adjust the white balance cooler.

@rustychopps 2 года назад

I agree that led's do not belong in the older machines they do look pretty good there! I see you have my fun house machine in the back there. I'm going to need that fixed and delivered asap Ronnie!

@GOTTshua 2 года назад

"Oh, no." Probably the only game that I'd need sunglasses to play. Work of art. I remember the oddness of its play with regards to the shots down the lanes.... kinda reminiscent to "Pong."

@jasonsteverson4609 2 года назад

Maybe spray the leg light housings with a krylon chrome paint...just a to cover up that yellowed plastic...and, may look sharper through the backglass art. Good stuff, Ron!!

@guytownsend4160 2 года назад

Awesome job. Those LED lights makes the machine pop! Great clean up as well.

@du5t33 2 года назад

I also agree with the LEDs on this one!

@bitteroldskunk 2 года назад

The LED swap for some machines makes the machine stand out more in my opinion. For this one its especially true. In the end for some of the more rare machines with hard to find power supplys they can be a life saver for those transformers. The colors are more rich in tone for the insersts and I love those rotating LEDs for the pop bumpers. They give it more of a "space" feel. For some of the lights that strobe they seem to have a more of a snap flash than a traditional bulb. Awesome job guys. Keep up the great content!

@arcadesurvival8469 2 года назад

I bought ramps for my pinbot at pinball expo and I've been binge watching your videos before I do mine.

@Jahadu123 2 года назад

I just want to thank you Ron! I picked up a 1963 Williams El Toro and fixed it up after watching you. Works flawlessly now. Especially your Williams Space Odyssey videos helped me alot! Im born in the 90s and am a Swede but I enjoy EMs as much as anybody. Hope I can roadtrip the states one day and visit stores like yours.

@robertbullard3324 2 года назад

"My God, She's alive"! As you are repairing the game, I was playing the game on my iPad.

@memyopinionsche6610 2 года назад

Definitely awesome job on the playfield. Looks good.

@jayytee8062 2 года назад

Those rotating effect LEDs are pretty cool. They definately suit the theme.

@ricknelson947 2 года назад

The LED’s look great. The grey rubbers do offset the bright white, so good choice. A nice option would be to add a headphone jack or Bluetooth audio, so someone can play a game at home without disturbing too much others watching a game or a movie.

@EsotericArctos 2 года назад

This is one of those games where I do like the LED's. I saw it on another YT channel done with LED's and it looked good, but he had a really bad resolution with the camera. Yours just pops really nicely. Great work on this one for sure. If Elton is the Pinball Wizard, You are the Pinball Master :) Fantastic!

@loganjorgensen 2 года назад

I appreciate the warmness of old bulbs but with pinball machines I can see the appeal of the conversion because of the shear number of lights which generate a lot of heat. Looking good man, spruced up. :D

@hazybasement7101 2 года назад

Man, what a night and day difference! That is some quality work, I am sure the owner is going be ecstatic. Another great video!

@ISLEOVUE Год назад

Joe, that PinBot bride play field is short on the distance to most everything lower half. The flipper response is great, but challenging to make top half of the play field. Love the audio on the PinBot Bride. Glass off also cuts the reflection on the camera. Thanks for sharing & really like the video

@ray93556 2 года назад

Amazing work as usual Ron! Wow that's bright!!!

@scottfindlay2625 2 года назад

@markjackson1444 2 года назад

Great work Ronnie. For me the leds look great under the playfield. On the top of the playfield they are ‘supermarket white’ which is not my cup of tea, but still the game looks great. Your painting of the playfield was outstanding. Thanks for another great video.

@douro20 2 года назад

And I'd imagine the flashers would look a bit too "blinky" in person with LEDs without some software hacks to play with the PWM frequency.

@thornmountain8129 2 года назад

Might want to spot test in the future - in case of possible hazing, but Dow Scrubbing Bubbles (yep, the bathtub/shower cleaner) will take smoke tar off of plexiglass like nothing else. Noticed some yellowing stuff on there, so that's why I give that a mention. The new lights look nice btw.

@olmosbananas 2 года назад

looks like a fun job. those LEDs are a little too bright imo, perhaps finding the right color tint overlay to dull them down a bit.

@scottgm321 2 года назад

The whole game is transformed. I think I’ll recommend this to the arcade where I play it. Except for the bright whites on top of the table . Maybe it’s just my eyes and glasses, but too many of those bright whites blind me. I don’t drink, I’m just old. Your customer will be very proud to show this off. You’ve done a beautiful job.

@litz13 2 года назад

My personal preference (for my own games) is to stick with incandescent bulbs, unless it's in a really hard place to get to (e.g. jet bumpers under ramps, etc).

@Detroit8V92tta 2 года назад

There's something charming about incandescents.

@stevegreene6272 2 года назад

Game looks great I watch the repair to the head mech and was just amazed by the working parts to line up and turn the head. One switch out of position and the whole thing goes to hell. You said that you worked on the AMF pinsetter but do you know that 82-70 has about 50-70 micro switches on the mach and then if it has pinspotters scoring on it add about 20 more switches. That why I love the EM machines as they are fairly easy to troubleshoot and repair. II love your expertise on how the switches work. Keep up the good work on the EM and new SS machines.

This game is fantastic and you did a grand job getting it back into shape. It must take lot of practice to hit the ball to land in the head section and not shoot past.

@komputerg33k 2 года назад

@pele512 2 года назад

Look at her glow! She does look great with the cooler lights. I was wondering if it is just me, but the background music does not seems to terminate when the ball goes down / game is over, e.g. at 00:26:38. There is an overlap between the sounds for the subtotals and the game background music. It also might be a firmware difference, my ears are used to Main Rev L-7 / Sound Rev L-1.

@Valitzu777 2 года назад

I think I got a sun tan just from watching :)

@PlumGurly 2 года назад

A side comment. When changing to LED bulbs, they may be more responsive than desired, depending on the application. One way around this is adding some electrolytic capacitors. Since you don't have the lingering glow of the filaments, you can simulate it a bit by making the power stay on for a tad longer. That might increase the turn-on time, but it slows it as it turns off. Just a thought.

@DouglasOliveria 2 года назад

Nice job

@pogostix6097 2 года назад

"All I wanna do, is see you turn into, a GIANT WOMAAAAN~🎶" For real though, if you compare the size of the Bride to the humans on the playfield, or to Pinbot over there in the corner, the guy likes himself a lady who's large and in charge. And mysteriously partly composed of what must be hundreds of pounds of flesh??? Python, you crazy. I think the LED's look AWESOME on this game. Very bright and blinky though, might wanna put an epilepsy warning on the video lol. I don't mind particularly, I'm a magpie, dum bird brain like flashy lights, ooooh... especially her tiara-headress-thing, so shiny.

@douro20 2 года назад

There was a guy in Germany who did a conversion of a Williams "Aces & Kings" in the theme of Werner who is a popular cartoon character in that part of the world. He actually put animated rainbow lighting in the backbox. It's currently located in the museum "For Amusement Only" in Seligenstadt.

@pejov74 2 года назад

Really nice with the LED, do you have a partslist of all the LEDs you put in it (with all colors on the LED). I have the same game that i plan to get LED for. You have to adjust the Ball Gate Actuator, it is supose to let the ball trou the first time , and the second time the ball should enter to the head.

@AvengerII 2 года назад

Man, this flashes worse than that Pokemon episode that caused all those epileptic seizures across Japan! There should definitely be a warning sign on this one! 😮 It's a beautiful light show but I feel lucky I don't have epilepsy.

@Stoney3K 2 года назад

My 2 pet peeves with LEDs are not colour. One thing is that they have a narrower beam so they're less useful for GI (you can see the hot spots in the backglass) and the other is that they don't fade in and out like incandescents so every flash becomes a hard strobe instead of a gentle flash. Both of these would be possible to fix but it would make the LEDs more expensive to manufacture.

@mtmtrx 2 года назад

Maybe use some capacitors to mimic the inertia of a tungsten filament?

@@robertbox5399 Capacitance may be a problem, but leds can emit some light even at very small currents. To limit inrush use it eg after current limiting resistor. However, still may be not worth it
