I don't get it, they probably just sold more than they've sold in a long time (except to Stern) and they pull this? NOT a fan of greed.

Any of you graphics stars fancy recreating this stern logo for me?.
My skills are just too limited to do it justice.

does any stern dmd game show this?

i can just dump it straight from the game if u want? no need to redraw hehe

[abenamou]

yeah i wouldn't pay, u cant bump the price up once some one has already ordered

Noah will have his stock soon. Im also still working on my plasma power board so people can just use the cheap original displays (still a while off though sadly )

Sounds good Russ.
Out of interest has anyone else got an outstanding order with Future Electronics in the US?

They did the same to me, over a $100 increase, I cancelled my order.

[Arkay]

That's pathetic. I hope they end up with so much over stock they can't sell it ever. Everyone should cancel their order and refuse to be extorted... Buy them elsewhere and teach the F.E. bas74ds a lesson....

Cheers,

Arkay.

[russdx]

Noah will have them soon buy from him!!!

Noah may be charging a higher price. Many are assuming it's Future Electronics that are jacking up the price, and it may be, but it might also be the vishay or whomever is the 3rd party between vishay and FE. We'll know when we see Noah's prices I guess.

I WAS feeling sad for having ordered the cheaper red vishay but if the price points end up higher, I guess I'm not so sad anymore. Hopefully prices end up going down for you guys, this does suck.

me and my dad are also trying very hard to get this plasma driver done as well so we don't have to rely on these crazy LED prices!!!

Sweet thanks, if you can get a dump from monopoly i know thats a good clean logo.

[russdx]

what format do you want it in?

is it for the pinDMD logo.txt? or you want it as a image?

[jhlerner]

Just want to say thank you to Russ, got mine up and running, very easy, and very nice! Any thoughts on what code needs to be changed in the script to keep the dmd off the playfield? Some games still have it on there even though the new dmd is running as well.

Thanks,
Jeff

Pindmd format please, if monopoly is a bit weird ie it being fvp then the simpsons pinball party displays the same logo.
Oh and thanks for the aftercare

You will have to turn them off on a table by table basis.
The line in most scripts you are looking for is .Hidden=1
It is usualy found right after the Table Init section of the script.
If .Hidden=0 it will show the DMD
If .Hidden=1 it will hide the DMD.

A few scripts use true and false as well.

The plasma driver should be really really easy.
I will take look at the schematics for my white water and see what it looks like. But i can't think it is a difficult design.
I have "copied" designs before for personal use

me and my dad are also trying very hard to get this plasma driver done as well so we don't have to rely on these crazy LED prices!!!

Definitely not charging anywhere NEAR that.

We're looking at carrying the orange 8x8 segmented DMDs, which my source tells me have better clarity than the solid DMDs, with a colored film lens. Much like Stern used on AC/DC. We anticipate a price point of around $279.95 USD.

We call that "good news"

hey

he has referenced the design from the Babcock displays from one of the pinball manuals hehe. the design/schematic is very simple like you say the hard part which he is having trouble with is the custom transformer coil this schematic uses to creating the high voltages. it seams that building custom prototype transformers and getting them to behave correctly is alot harder then it looks (rest of the circuit works fine ). my dad has got another type of prototyping transformer to try. so hopefully this version works out ok
