Hi Peeps.



Due to me being vertically challenged I cannot see the Advance In Rank arrow insert on the playfield from my playing position. This can be a pain in the butt when specific shots are being highlighted (like in Q's Challenge).

So to make things easier I bought a promo plastic and made a new playfield plastic out of it.

It already had a hole in and I found that a bulb from a TZ clock fit perfectly (a 5mm LED would also fit).

It is just wired in parallel to the existing insert lamp.

I can now see when this shot needs hitting.

I need to tidy the wiring up and mount the plastic on a piece of stainless welding rod and araldite it together instead of the engineering tack (blu-tack) that is currently holding it together.

Non-permanent and easy to remove should I ever sell it.



Some photos. The last photo does it more justice than the others.
