  • Rotating UFO for Revenge From MARS duo color MOD

    Today I got the new plastics I created to make the 8 holes of the RfM Ufo light up in red.

    Here you can see all the plastics:

    RfM_dual_color_MOD_01

    I was using a new green Flasher CAP and cut some plastic at the outer site.

    To see the red light only at the 8 holes I have to cover the innersite  of the UFO with black adhesive

    RfM_dual_color_MOD_02

    Here you see the lighttransmitter pins connected with the help of  some glue

    RfM_dual_color_MOD_03

    here you can see how it looks with the sticks

    The Motorpart:

    Here I have to do the 4 LEDS for the flasher replacement up at the gear. Now with the help of the plastic its easier to solder

  • Theatre of Magic Magic Doves

    I only have the rabbit mod for ToM and saw somebody else have put some little doves into the pinball.
    I tried it too with the usual led modding and the help a 3mm power led in white it looks like this.

  • Rotating UFO for Attack From Mars Proof of Concept

    My little motor needs a redesign for Attack from Mars, because the flasher only on for a short time.

    The ufo didn’t turn in this short time.

    The Bulb is powering the 4 Leds around the motor as flasher replacement and added 2 more wires with alligatorconnectors to power up the motor. The two wires can connected to any insert lamp under the playfield or GI if you want to turn it all the time…

    Look here into my little video and there is in real a attack from Mars and the answer which one is better is ansered thanks to the attack of my little UFO in medieval time…

    I will try the motor in a real AFM in around 2 weeks thanks to www.flippermuseum.eu.

  • Rotating try to add red color to outer saucer area

    Today I do a quick try to add a red color to the outer 8 leds of the saucer.

    Its only a work in progress try and it looks not good.

    In the next step I will make a plastic and use some lighttransmitting plastic to transport the light to the 8 points of the saucer…

  • Rotating Ufo for RfM and Attack from Mars

    After my LED work its time to do some moving stuff

    Here I got the idea to make the flashing Ufos rotate…

    I found a litte motor and put some Leds around it to make it work.

    It will be easy to do in the final product. You only have to remove the original bulb and replace it with the gearmotor with Leds around it.

    Here you see the gear plastic it will fit into the flasher cab and make it rotate with the help of the motor

  • Magic Trunk Candlelight Replacement for Theatre of Magic Pinball

    I done a litte mod to a Theatre of Magic Pinball. The original red Lamp in the Magic Trunk doesn’t look well and I found a solution. I tried the head of a LED candlelight and used a highpower 5mm LED and put it together in a socket for a Lamp

    reducing the size of the led and the candlelight cover

  • Rebirth of the Dragon „Light him up“

    First I take the prepared doubleheaded Dragon look here

    https://blog.smarterwolf.de/?p=1112

    After this I am using 5 Leds to make up the eyes to live and one mouth give us fire for a breath…

    I used a 2,5mm drill to make the holes through the eyes and with the help of some inelastic copper wire it was easier to get the flexible copper wires through the holes.

    3mm power leds in yellow for the eyes

    5mm power led in red for the mouth

    doublehead_dragon_03

    As the necks are bended I need to make more holes to get from the head to the chest

    If you look from the normal pinball view to the Dragon you will not see the wires 🙂

    doublehead_dragon_04

    I have to position the tail like this, so the ball will „ride“ over the ramp without trouble

    Some pics in the pinball

    doublehead_dragon_06

    The left wing was a little to high and there was a problem with the glass but no problem with the help of a heat-gun. So the wing is fitting under the playfield.

    Its a first beta try, have some other idea in mind and I will show it later…

    Today I got the 3D plastic. It is scratched with firelines so it looks more real and the plastic transports the light of the led better as standard plastics.

    Thanks to my wife to put two plastics together to make it more 3D

    Here you can see it attached to the dragon

    I done some more pictures and finaly got the wires through the neck. So you will see NO WIRES outsite of the dragon anymore!

    Here you can see the cables you have only to connect it inbetween the flashercable of the dragon flasher

    This was needed to make the wires invisible. I got it and all wires are going insite the dragon.

  • Missing entrance plastic for Medieval Madness

    I recently bought a custom decal set for the targets and the entrance bracket from pinballdecals.com (thanks for this Joey).

    But the decal for the entrance bracket is only a adhesive decal and it’s missing the plastic.
    I made a vector graphic and ordered a plastic cutted with a laser.

    Here you see se original left and right plastics and in the middle the new parts:

    entrance_plastic_compare

    I went to a advertising company and get some double sided transparent adhesive to connect the decal to the bottom of the new plastic

    After making this one, I am thinking of make a new bigger one, covers the complete bracket…

  • Left Ramp Troll LED Mod for Medieval Madness

    I found a nice Troll, fits into the MM Theme and put it on the left ramp.
    With the help of some plastic it can connected to the left ramp.
    The eyes where replaced with yellow/orange 3mm Leds for the Eye glow mod.

    If you want a Troll including this eye led mod you can order it here:

    or sent me an email to klaus@wolfsoft.de and I will take care of you order. Please sent me your complete adress for checking the shipping costs.

    I done the two holes first with a 1,5mm drill, then with a 2,5mm.
    After this I drill a hole from the back to the eyes the holes are like a Y.

    Look here:

  • „Simba“ LED Mod for Cirqus Voltaire Pinball

    I found Panther called simba for placing it in a Cirqus Voltaire Pinball. As there is one displayed on the playfield it fits to the main theme.

    If you want a Simba including this eye led mod you can order it here:

    or sent me an email to klaus@wolfsoft.de and I will take care of you order. Please sent me your complete adress for checking the shipping costs.
    Here you can see how I add the green LEDs to the eyes.
    I used a 2,5mm Drill and 3mm LEDs in green for the eye replacement. The installation is done solderless with the „croco“ connectors to the 28 bear playfield flasher with two 680 Ohm Resistors.

    Drill 2,5 extra long into the
    simba_making_off_01

    to get the cables out of the panther use a drill from downsite 8-9mm in diameter:

    two green leds 3mm:
