    Default 1976 Sankyo LED addtion

    I couldn't leave well enough alone with my 1976 Sankyo and decided to rig up some decorative LED lights for a bit of extra color and pizzaz. I thought I would share the results incase anyone else wanted to spice up an old vintage machine fairly cheaply and quickly. I used these Brightech "starry string lights" from Amazon which are less than $10, they are quite tiny LEDs (120 of them) that come on a very thin and bendable wire that you can easily shape around the perimeter of the play field; I had several feet of wire left over which I left behind the center feature; as you can see the translucent green plastic really lets the LEDs shine through. The whole project literally took 5 minutes, don't worry, the "mods" I made can easily be reversed as there is only 4 pieces of tape securing the wire to the wood portion of the play field. One has too look pretty hard to notice the lights if they are off, but they really make the machine "pop" when they are on, especially at night!

    Lights I used: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ilpage_o04_s00

    Oooo.....the colors......


    all it needs now is to program them so it chases around the playfield and triggers when you hit a jackpot.

    100 machines and counting...
