We think (and we are not the only ones) that pinballs are enjoyable machines, but the sound quality is way too low.

With older pinball machines, it’s like playing pinball through a phone!

That’s why we are so happy there is the PinSound kit!
With the PinSound board, you can now enjoy the pinball experience with high quality sound: if you want funkier musics, less-annoying quotes, stereo sound or mix your own sound, it’s all possible by installing a PinSound board!

The PinSound board, WPC95 adapter, stereo harness and headphone kit are now available from stock at PinballShop.nl with free shipping!

There is a design problem in a large number of Williams games.
The problem is about missing the fuses in the 18V (controlled lamps) and 34V (solenoids) circuits before the bridge rectifiers. Because of the missing fuses things can go very wrong with these games.
When a short occurs in a bridge rectifier there is a possibility of burning wires from the transformer to the bridge rectifiers. In worst case scenario even the transformer goes up in smoke. In the best case the main fuse blows and turns the machine off. Look at the bottom of the page for a few examples of how things can go wrong.

To remedy this problem simply placing fuses in the circuit before the bridge rectifiers is advised. A very doable solution. Another problem could be the very large capacitor in the 18V circuit. The life expectancy of 10 to 15 years is already long past for all machines. Now isn’t that much of a problem for the controlled lamps, but the electronics might object.
When your controlled lamps burn less bright there might also be a problem with the bridge rectifier.

All these problems can be fixed by using the brand new Inkochnito Bridge Board:

Some people have a bit of OCD symptoms when it comes to pinball.

For example ghosting/flickering of pinball LEDs is driving us crazy.

Then LED OCD was created!
LED OCD allow pinball owners to fully control the lamps in their machines.
This allows the use of any combination of LEDs and standard lamps without any of the side effects.

Key Features:
Control the brightness of individual lamps
Eliminate the flicker or strobe effect when using LEDs
Smooth on/off transitions when using LEDs
No ghosting

LED OCD wasn't available in Europe untill now...
We are proud to announce that "LED OCD" is finally available in Europe through our shop!

If you are a real T2 fan, you must have noticed the goofy looking light bulbs as eyes in the T800 skull.

BriteMods thought the same way and made a LED bulb with a metal hub, with these "eyes" the T800 skull looks just like the movie!
