DMD - Dot matrix display. These are on most pins from the early 90's until more recently. Its the orangey coloured screens on the backbox used to display scores etc. You can now get colour replacement screens for them. The LED upgrade is to replace the old incandescent bulbs in tables with longer lasting LED's.
I love pinball. I used to repair them as a field tech back in the 90's and I have liked them ever since. Would love my own table but pinflation has made them stupidly expensive now.
I have a couple of places near me that I can play the real thing, Electric Circus in Birmingham is great, he usually has around 30 tables up and running and all on freeplay. There is also Tilt in Birmingham too, it's a cafe bar with quite a few tables and a good mix of classics and new stuff, it can get expensive as they are pay to play (and there is craft beer to buy as well) but it's a great venue.
I am planning on building a mini digital table in the future, not as good as the real thing but I think it will be a fun project. |
