Personally, I think the LED's look great on this table. Your touchup works looks good too! Nice work!
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.
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.
👍 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 😂
Those LED's are bright, and look good, however i'm with you Ron, they suit the more newer models!
It’s gotta be the right game for leds for sure
Thanks for the light show Ron! Those LEDs do fit the theme of Bride of Pinbot.
Sweet the LED's look crisp and futuristic it works on this robot theme beautifully.
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.
The LEDs really make the inserts pop and the final touchup job looks great!
Oh man those color-matched leds on the play field are night and day compared to the tired old bulbs. Excellent work!
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.
It did indeed. Yeah, I'm old. 😝
@@MrJest2 The head mechanism is an amazing amount of work with wonderful production engineering.. Did it get reused on another table?
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!
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 😉
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.
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!!
This a super cool pinball machine. The LEDs I think work really nice with it.
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!
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.
These damn electronics have a mind of their own sometime....
Oh my goodness the LEDs look absolutely stunning!
"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."
Lighting effects and music are really cool for such an old machine.
It looks really good with the LED's coming along very nice im sure the customer is very pleased.
Oh wow, the contrast on the play surface looks incredible with the LEDs!
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!
I bought ramps for my pinbot at pinball expo and I've been binge watching your videos before I do mine.
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
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!
I love these games with the neat color lights. It's eye candy. That's what makes me remember these from when I was a kid.
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!
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
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!
Thank you for using white GI and not color bombing the whole thing. It looks fantastic!!!! 👌
Awesome job. Those LED lights makes the machine pop! Great clean up as well.
"My God, She's alive"! As you are repairing the game, I was playing the game on my iPad.
Those rotating effect LEDs are pretty cool. They definately suit the theme.
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.
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.
The LEDs really work on this table. Looks awesome tbh. Imagine a whole arcade full of machines like this. Everyone would be on the floor twitching :)
Definitely awesome job on the playfield.
Looks good.
Man, what a night and day difference! That is some quality work, I am sure the owner is going be ecstatic. Another great video!
Great video.I wish someone would bring in a Williams Funhouse pinball game for you to work on.
Personally i think the LED's made the world of difference on that machine, it looks much cleaner and more crisp.... and they also don't get hot saving your plastic playing field pieces..
Was just at my local VFW post playing a swords of fury pinball they just got in. Poor thing has no back glass lights and had to bump 3 balls loose that we're stuck. Nobody has them around here was glad to see it.
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.
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.
Brand new ramps look amazing. Customer will be happy. What a nice repair job so far!
I’ll be honest. I thought I was gonna hate the LEDs. Looks great!
I also agree with the LEDs on this one!
Amazing work as usual Ron! Wow that's bright!!!
Amazing transformation!
Pinball machine looks great, LEDs work with this machine because of the digital displays in my opinion.
The LED's compliment this game so much and makes it more futuristic, the Bride is a real babe, I wonder if she's still married to pinbot lol, Fab video again Ron.
Wow what a light show…..lol…‘I cant even cheat right!’ Great vid again…..cheers
I like the LEDs!👏👏👏👏
That is a fantastic light show going on here...
Awesome the owner sprung for new ramps! Too bad he didn't add the Cliffy's for another $50... I understand how you can nickel and dime yourself into THOUSANDS!!!!! Great job on this machine!
Ron, could you show how you apply the clear coat on these machines in one of your next videos?
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.
Very nice, very bright!
i like the idea of the old school with the lights and stuff , but bruh leds sure makes it look more modern then old school , i like it very good choice of lighting from the owner for sure
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).
There's something charming about incandescents.
Wow! Gorgeous. The gray rubber matched the playfield nicely. I never thought cool white GI would be good but looks fantastic in video. Nice job.
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.
Steve Greene from WI.
Looks awesome Ron.
I think the led lights will give it a cool different color
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.
Great video Ronnie, Man the Bride looks good, all those flashers I thought the cops were called. I agree the led's make a huge difference. See you on the next video.
WOW The LEDs look incredible!
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.
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.
That table's sweet. Nice job Joe.
Very nice, I do like the Leds in a newer game.
That game is over the top.
Wow its definitely bright kinda like it tho on the fence too. nice job looks sick af. Very modern looking
Very cool! great job!
Lovely machine!
Nice look whit those LED's great work as usual 😎👍
Looks great.. but, I do agree with you Ron... the field lights need to be less bright... the color LED's... ya.. those be awesome for color brightness...
"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.
LED's look amazing, Did I miss the update on the low spot in the shooter lane?
That look a lot nicely led on robot pinball game
Great job on it. Myself I would put in bulbs.
PINBOT check.
The MACHINE bride of pinbot check.
Now just waiting for JACKBOT.
To complete the collection.
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.
I think I got a sun tan just from watching :)
Looks great
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.
Leds just fine sir
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.
There's so much Future in this machine now you can almost hear Squidward doing sit-ups.
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.
Nice job
Maybe use some capacitors to mimic the inertia of a tungsten filament?
Need some big caps and lots of them. Can the drivers handle the inrush of caps??
@@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
@@mtmtrx Lots of caps plus lots of R's too then. It can turn into a monster...
Was looking forward to this one, still on the fence whether or not LED is an improvement or takes away from the character of the table!
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.
Great job on the paint touch up! And yeah I think the LEDs look good. I know what you mean about the sunburn, it's almost like the bridge of the JJ Abrams Star Trek reboot Enterprise! Need to wear welding goggles play the game! (C;
I saw that move about 10 years ago and I still have blind spots, I'm thinking about getting a class action lawsuit together over all those solar flares :)
@@LyonsArcade right? I liked the movie, but what was that about? Are people meant to be reading old school newspapers during the movie by the light bouncing off of the screen?
LOL "I can't even cheat right!!!"
i miss that game soo much
TF when the Williams logo is just Motorola upside down 🙃
Holy Moly that's bright. Hope the owner doesn't have a seizure disorder.
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.
Cool
Would her visor look better with the yellow LEDs to give her blond hair?
