Due to an inadequate light source for its size of insert, ‘Double Scoring!’ on D&D is weakly lit during gameplay. Rocket City Pinball has designed a solution — a custom 3D printed mount with an integrated Comet star post light, plus a unique custom lightboard cover/interface to safely tap into power.
The custom lightboard cover is designed to allow connection of alligator clips without risk of short-circuiting the pads or clips — the cover has a built-in wall between the solder pads, and walls/grooves on the outside to prevent inadvertent contact of the clips. The cover also shields the board from accidental contact during relocation, and mutes the existing LED to eliminate light pollution under the playfield.
Available colors for the updated light are white, blue, red, orange, purple, or green, plus also a twinkling ‘blue fire’. (The standard fire doesn’t twinkle enough and just looks red.) The installation video and pictures demonstrate each color option (and none really look true to life — these lights are difficult to capture accurately with the camera.
See video under Installation Instructions for demos of each color — color demos start around 9:30. Can’t decide which color? I’ve added options to include extra lights, you can swap it out yourself and then decide. Enter the additional colors you would like during checkout, in the “Notes about your order” field. Â
This mod is 100% reversible (but why would you?).
Installation is simple:
1) Shut off power to the game.
2) Remove the lightboard next to the insert, by removing (1) 1/4″ hex head screw.
3) Insert lightboard into the custom lightboard cover, oriented such that the lightboard’s wires exit the cover on the side labeled ‘wires’.
4) Attach alligator clips into/onto the lightboard cover openings on the side labeled ‘clips’. Red/black orientation does not matter.
5) Install new light mount using the original screw.
6) Zip-tie the lightboard cover and/or excess wiring to nearby wire bundle to keep them clear of the flipper mechs.
